So it has been a while..

However, the last few weeks have been crazy, actually I'm not sure that word really encompasses what has gone on. Christmas came and went with all of the normal craziness. My mom was put in the hospital with pneumonia two days after Christmas and is still there, but is finally on the road to recovery, and everyone started back to school(not a moment too soon.). I have been feeling for the most part fine. I've been experiencing a lot of upper back pain by the evening requiring me to just lay down and the oh so wonderful feeling like your pelvis is being torn in half has started. Yippee! I went to the doctor and I gained one pound, no, I still will not say my actual weight. The doctor isn't concerned, so I'm not. I'm still small so I'm hoping I can talk the doctor at my next appointment into another ultrasound. I was never that big with my other pregnancies, but I have never been this small. I actually have a pair of maternity jeans that are too big and I have to constantly hike them up. Here is a new picture of my belly at 25 weeks.

Some info on a 26 weeks.

Week 26
Baby: Your baby measures about 9.2 inches from crown to rump and weighs almost 2 pounds now. Its hearing is fully developed. As the fetus reacts to sounds, its pulse increases. Your baby will even move in rhythm to music. Lungs are still growing but are not yet mature. Patterns of your baby's brain waves appear like a full-term newborn. It also has patterns of sleeping and waking.
