Baby is starting to be able to respond to all sorts of sounds. Her lungs are further prepping for birth. Blood vessels are forming to circulate oxygenated blood and bronchial tubes are branching. She is starting to make surfactant which keeps the air sacs in the lungs from sticking together. This will also allow them to breathe properly after birth.
Had my 26 week dr appointment Wed. Everything looks great. My next appointment is Sept 6th. I took my glucose test and anemia test too but haven't gotten any results yet which hopefully means everything is fine. Also got my TDAP vaccine.
http://www.cdc.gov/pertussis/ this is the CDC's site on pertussis or whooping cough. I sent an email out a few months back about this and requested our immediate family get this vaccine. Some I heard back from so this is just a friendly reminder, but some I haven't even heard back form. This is a very serious issue for us. We will be having/traveling with our newborn during cold and flu season, however she won't be fully vaccinated yet. Anything we can do to help keep her safe we are going to do, and we would really appreciate if as many of you guys would get this vaccine to keep our little girl healthy. We are requesting that anyone who plans to spend any prolonged time with her get this vaccine. That means if you will be traveling down here to see her, this will apply to you. We don't want to be those parents who turn people away but this is super important to us. Your doctor will agree if you go talk to them. For those getting the vaccine please let us know when you have, :) thank you!!
