26 WEEKS..... yesterday


Sorry for the delay everyone! I have been so crazy over the last few days that I just came home from work and relaxed last night.... totally forgetting that I was 26 weeks and needed to update Kyler's blog. BUT, better late than never.

LOOK HOW BIG HE'S GETTING!!!!!!!!! :)

The following is from WhatToExpect.com

"What's up with your baby? [He] now weighs a full two pounds and measures nine-plus inches. And this week, [his] eyes, which until now were developing under fused eyelids, start to open. Of course, there's not much to see in there, but if your baby spots a bright light (or hears a loud noise) near your belly, you may notice an increase in fetal activity. (“Hey, I'm in here, Mommy! Where’s the party!”) What accounts for that response? [His] brain is more developed and sophisticated.

Feel like you're carrying the Karate Kid with all the kicking going on? Your baby is actually practicing all kinds of movements that will eventually be used in life on the outside — including pedaling against your belly, a sort of prewalking skill. As your baby's nervous system becomes more developed, the movements will become much more coordinated. And as the baby gets bigger and stronger, the movements will become much more powerful…and occasionally, even painful to you. If your baby lands a good one, that tiny left hook might hurt — a lot. Another trick [he] may try — stretching that leg out so far that the foot becomes lodged between your ribs (ouch). Next time you come under attack, try changing positions or doing some stretches of your own. You can also gently push your baby back with your hand when your knee-jerker jerks a little too hard. You just might be able to send your slugger back into the corner of the ring!"

NOW.... for the funny story! On Monday night I was on the couch and, out of no where, Kyler kicked my bladder so hard that I jumped up and ran to the bathroom to pee!!!! I have to admit, it was rather humorous!!! He definitely is an active little guy and it just gets me more and more excited!!!
