Week 26
Your baby weighs almost 2 pounds; measures about 14 inches from head to heel; and hears noises, responds to light, and is generally more aware of its surroundings. In the same way that you can see a flashlight if you hold it against your palm, your baby can see the light coming through your belly. You may notice increased activity when in brighter light and decreased activity in darkened rooms. Its hearing is fully developed, and as he or she reacts to sounds, its pulse increases. Your baby will even move in rhythm to music! (Adapted from PregnancyWeekly)
Its lungs are developing now, too, as it continues to take small breaths of amniotic fluid — good practice for when it's born and takes that first breath of air. If you're having a boy, his testicles are beginning to descend into his scrotum — a trip that will take about two to three days. (Adapted from BabyCentre)
