Start of Week 26

Which means I am now officially one week behind with my Week 25 photo - here she is.

According to one of the weekly e-mail updates I get, Week 26 saw the Wombat reach approximately 25 cm (~10 in) (head to rump) and weigh approximately 690-780g (1.5-1.7 lbs), which is apparently only a quarter of the final birth weight. The Wombat's spine strengthened and eyelashes, along with more head hair, developed. The best news is that if the Wombat was was born now, s/he would have approximately an 80% survival rate, with medical assistance.

We spent the weekend getting the baby's room painted. Here are some pic's. The color we chose is called Apple Slice. It was a bit weird on the first coat but the second coat has come up nicely and now we like it. We've got a bit of trim work to do still due to the very shoddy paint job that has been done on the ENTIRE house by the previous owner but the room is getting there!

Hopefully we'll be all finished up this weekend - after photo will be posted then!
