26 Weeks!

Guess what happened on our 26 week birthday? It snowed! Alot!!! Here are some pictures of Josh and I with the baby out in the snow! These are his first snow pictures! Also...here is the big reveal.......Baby Alford's name is going to be..........
Dax Thompson Alford.
Dax, just because we love the name, Thompson, because it is a family name on Josh's side. Hope you all like it as much as we do! :) Also, Dax had his first bout of hiccups this past Wednesday! It was so cute! Josh and I couldn't stop laughing. He had them for about 5 minutes. We are going to the doctor this Wednesday for our 4-D ultrasound! YAY!!! We are counting down the minutes until we get to see him again! We are so excited! We will also be testing for gestational diabetes that day, so hopefully all goes well and my test results come back good! We will keep you posted. Here is what is going on in my belly this week:

The network of nerves in your baby's ears is better developed and more sensitive than before. He may now be able to hear both your voice and your partner's as you chat with each other. He's inhaling and exhaling small amounts of amniotic fluid, which is essential for the development of his lungs. These so-called breathing movements are also good practice for when he's born and takes that first gulp of air. And he's continuing to put on baby fat. He now weighs about a pound and two-thirds and measures 14 inches from head to heel.
