At 26 weeks

Me and the lil one is growing well. She weighs nearly a kg at 26 weeks which is a good sign that she's absorbing the nutrients well. I've read somewhere that the lil one can now taste traces of my food through the amniotic fluid. My uterus is now the size of a basketball. 8) I gained a healthy 3kg since the last checkup and the gynae advised me not to gain so MUCH weight at a time. I would have chuckled there when the gynae said I must look at what I'm eating or I will have to go on a diet.

According to babycentre, the lil one can now hear our voices so it's a good time to talk and read to her. Her eyes should be able to open and close and she can even cover them with her itsy-bitsy-teeny-weeny hand or look away in reaction to very bright light.

Besides the 2 leg cramps and the occasional swollen feet caused by water retention, there isn't much to complain about.
