Hello Arvee!
26 weeks pregnant
Your baby's becoming more sensitive to sound as the network of nerves in her ears develops. If dad talks to her now, she might learn to recognize his voice. The more she hears it, the more likely she is to find it soothing after she's born. If he feels strange just talking to the baby, he can read the newspaper or a book out loud.
Measuring your baby from top to toe with his legs extended, he is about 14 inches/ 35.6 centimeters. He weighs a little more than 1.6 pounds/ 760 grams. Your baby's eyes begin to open around now. Response to sound grows more consistent toward the end of the seventh month, when the network of nerves to the ear is complete. He also continues to take small breaths and although he's only breathing in water and not air, it's still good practice for when he's born.
Since your baby is now growing so fast, and brain development is so intense at this stage, your nutrition is very important. Continue to eat a well-balanced diet that includes plenty of grains and vegetables. Fiber-rich foods, including whole-grain breads and cereals, lentils and brown rice are high in vitamin B and help fend off constipation.
Your prenatal classes should start sometime in the next few weeks, if it hasn't already. Classes should provide you with good, clear information about the birth and the early days of parenthood. Keeping informed goes a long way toward calming any concerns you may have about giving birth.

My doctor is still not satisfied with Adam's weight and so are we. :( I don't know what to do anymore since I eat a lot and I even take a lot of vitamins. I don't even look 6 months pregnant! I'm trying to eat small meals now but like 5-6 times a day so that baby will get bigger and not mommy. I am so anxious to get him ultrasound 4D style but since he is still small it will just have to be put off for another month. On a good note, we found a good and cheap $D ultrasound clinic newly opened in Robinsons Starmills. Instead of the usual P3K (I hear some even charge P%K!) it only charges P1,500! That only made me more excited! =)
