In our 26th week...
Clinton is measuring
about 14 inches long, he weighs just less than 2 pounds! His lungs
continue to develop, and he is taking small breaths of amniotic fluid
inside the womb. These small breaths are getting him in shape for his
first breath of fresh air. His veins are visible through his
transparent skin, but soon that will change, as his skin begins to turn
opaque.
The nerve pathways are becoming more and more developed, making him more responsive to sound. Sometimes I can feel him jump inside of me when he is startled by a sudden noise. Also, he may be developing the cute habit of thumb-sucking right now!

In our 25th week...
Clinton continues to grow and develop. Measuring about
13 inches long, he weighs 1.5 - 2lbs! In the coming weeks, he will continue to grow and mature at a fast rate, gaining some
baby fat and filling out his long, lean frame.
As he gains weight, his skin begins to become less wrinkled and he begins to look more, and more like a newborn. Also, his skin is finally gaining some color. His hands are fully developed by this week, fingerprints and all! And at 25 weeks, the structure of the spine is beginning to form (33 rings, 150 joints, and 1000 ligaments)!

It's crazy how active our little one is! Almost every time Sean and I place our hand on my belly he moves, kicks, or gives us a high five. It is such a blessing to know that he is moving and growing so much. I will say it again (and probably many more times), God is amazing and His miracles astound me!
