25 Weeks

24 weeks, 6 days; I took this one at the church while I was thinking about it.

How Your Baby’s Growing (from Babycenter.com):

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

How far along: 25 weeks

Pregnancy symptoms: constant need to pee; right hand numbness/weakness – this is mostly at night and not all the time.  This is  how my carpal tunnel syndrome started last time.  I’m hoping it either moves slower or doesn’t get any worse.  That was pretty miserable.  It went away almost immediately after Natalie’s birth though.

Food Cravings: fruit, chocolate, Cheetos

Sleep: good!

Measurement: inches

Movement: lots; he just loves to jump up and down on my bladder (or that’s what it feels like!)

Labor signs: I think none.  Every now and then I get the feeling like I might be having a little Braxton Hicks contraction, but I really don’t think they’ve started yet.

What I miss: being able to lay or recline at all on my back.  I get woozy almost immediately.

What I’m looking forward to: I can’t really think of anything.

Milestone: This isn’t exactly pregnancy related, but I found a dress for my 10 year reunion!

Thoughts from the Girls: nothing is coming to mind

Doctor’s visit: none this week
