26 Weeks

Lindsay took her gestational diabetes test on Tuesday (Halloween). She tested slightly high - maybe having something to do with the Halloween candy. She'll have a follow up test next week to find out for certain.

Alec now weighs a little under 2 pounds and measures about 14 inches, from head to heel. The nerve pathways in his ears are developing, which means his response to sounds is growing more consistent. His lungs are developing now, too, as he continues to take small breaths of amniotic fluid — good practice for when he's born and takes that first breath of air. His testicles are beginning to descend into his scrotum — a trip that will take about two to three days.

We can feel and see him move now! He's an active little guy. He seems to like it when Tikka, our oversized black cat, sits purring on Lindsay's stomach. He almost always seems to start moving.
