26 Weeks Pregnant

Baby's crown-to-rump length is approximately 9.2 inches (that is only from the top of her head to her bottom and does not include his leg measurements). Average baby weighs almost 2 pounds and is beginning to put on weight. (If you have been eating a well-balanced diet, you probably have gained about 16-22 pounds so far.) On track at 17 lbs...Thanks to working out 5 days a week). After a month of having his eyelids sealed shut, your baby begins to open his eyes again this week. Her eyes are almost completely developed and the eyes are blue in the womb and may change colors later in life. (This is true for all races because the pupils do not have their final color until a few months after birth). Finger and toe nails continue to grow. Blood vessels start to develop in the lungs to prepare the baby for life outside the uterus.
