Happy Tuesday! This week we are 26 (ish) weeks pregnant.
If you're wondering why I say "ish" when describing how far along we are in the pregnancy, well, that little Carter Warren is throwing us for a loop with how big he actually is. Dr. Boon, my OBGYN, had said from the beginning that he looked a week or so ahead of the August 24th due date. And THEN, when I had my gallbladder surgery, the surgeon said that he looks SEVERAL weeks ahead of my due date. Hmmm... sounds to me like little Carter may be making an appearance a little earlier than we thought ...
Nevertheless, we will continue with our baby count. According to TheBump.com, during week 26 of pregnancy, the average fetus measures about 13.6 to 14.8 inches and weighs about 1.5 to 2.5 pounds. He is developing eyelashes! Wow! And at this point, it feels like
this baby (who we haven’t even met yet) has taken over my life. He is
interfering with my sleep, he is messing with my memory and my gallbladder, he has filled up an entire room in our house, and he is making us so excited for his arrival.
