Week 25 Update

Pregnancy Highlights:
How Far Along: 25 weeks

Baby Stats: 

Head to heels, baby boy now measures about 13 1/2 inches. His weight — a pound and a half — isn't much more than an average rutabaga(whatever that is), but he's beginning to exchange his long, lean look for some baby fat. As he does, his wrinkled skin will begin to smooth out and he'll start to look more and more like a newborn. He's also growing more hair — and if you could see it, you'd now be able to discern its color and texture.

Maternity Clothes: same old, same old

Movement: Still moving around lots. However, I have had a few days where he didn't move as much and I was panicking. Per doctor's advice-I drank some coke (haven't had that in 25 weeks!) and laid down and he still wasn't moving as much as usual. Later on when I was trying to be very still to paint wine glasses, he kicked so hard my whole arm moved!

Sleep: getting harder to sleep through the night, up for the bathroom a lot and having knee, hip, and shoulder pain

Symptoms: same old thing, I am having some anxiety about the delivery though (probably brought on by watching A Baby Story or some other TV show about babies being born)

What I Miss: wearing my regular shorts WITHOUT a belly band

Cravings: still just about everything and anything (surprise surprise)

Best Moment of the Week: This week we ordered the nursery furniture, selected the bedding we are registering for, and picked paint colors to match! :) I can't wait to see the room when it is all finished and see baby boy IN his new crib :) Here are some pics of the things we selected:
