Week 23

you're 23 weeks old! Holli you're still about the size of a papaya! Your little face is fully formed...minus the baby fat, of course. The next task at hand for you is sprouting two teeny-tiny nipples! Crazy uh?

Week 25 & 26

Wow! Can you believe you have eyelashes at 26 weeks? Your Aunt Tabatha is famous for her long lashes. You'll start batting them soon. At this point, Mommy probably feels like you (who she haven’t even met yet) has taken over your life. You've been interfering with her sleep and messing with her brain. (Forget much?) It’s normal for Mommy to be experiencing some mild swelling, but around week 26, it’s important to watch out for swelling severe or sudden -- it could be the sign of a dangerous condition called preeclampsia. Wonder if Mommy has noticed her belly occasionally feeling really tight? That’s a contraction. Yup, already. Don’t freak out though -- Mommy's body is just practicing some tightening in preparation for labor. As long as the contractions aren’t steady or severe, she's not in labor.

Holli your skin is becoming more opaque as the fat starts to pack on. And, thanks to the formation of small capillaries, your newly thick skin is taking on a fresh pink glow.

Check out your pretty Mommy.



Week 25                                                                 
Barely can tell with that top.





















Week 26
Your baby's the size of an eggplant!
She's still growing in the 13.6- to 14.8-inch and 1.5- to 2.5-pound range, and developing her senses, features and talents!
