Week 25

THIRD TRIMESTER here we come! 105 more days (give or take a few) and I will get to hold my son! Man again as each day goes by it begins to become more real for me. I really think God gives us 9 months to prepare just because it is SO much to take in!! I am very thankful for this time to prepare for him. I am still in the midst of getting his room together, picking out various things for his nursery and deciding how to organize all of his clothes.

I am still feeling pretty well. Starting to notice more and more some back pains (mainly when I sleep) and also my hips starting to get sore. I have continued to walk every day and it has definitely helped me keep my energy levels up as well as just feel so much better. I have gained a total of 10 pounds at this point and the doctor says that is great so I guess I'll take his word for it :)

Head to heels, your baby now measures about 13 1/2 inches. His weight — a pound and a half — isn't much more than an average rutabaga, 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.
