Growing and Growing

Now that we are at 26 weeks I thought I'd let you all know whats going on in there with little Emma. Right now she is about 2 lbs and 14 inches long. She has fully formed fingernails, toenails, eyebrows, and eyelashes. They will continue to grow until shes born. She has now learned to open her eyes and can also hear everything around here. She is also able to respond to what is happening too. She is starting to put on her baby fat and her skin will become less and less translucent. Her lungs are also producing surfactant which is a substance that will help expand her lungs after she is born. She is no longer small enough to float around in there which is causing her kicking to become a whole lot stronger. She is just busy growing and growing.
