Week 26


The network of nerves in Liam's ears is better developed and more sensitive than before. He can hear both Alex and I's voices and other things like vacuum cleaners and other outside noices. He's inhaling and exhaling small amounts of amniotic fluid, which is essential for the development of his lungs. These so-called breathing movements are also good practice for when he's born and takes that first gulp of air. And he's continuing to put on baby fat. He now weighs about a pound and two-thirds and measures 14 inches from head to heel. Liam's testicles are beginning to descend into his scrotum — a trip that will take about two to three days.
