My baby bump at 25 weeks from the side:
And from the front:
Total Weight Gain: I gained about .5 lbs this past week. That means I’m only 2 lbs less than pre-pregnancy.
Movement: Cullen is moving all over the place. Sometimes I feel like he is kicking me in the bladder and the ribs at the same time
Boy or Girl? A sweet little Boy!!!
Food Cravings: Nothing this week.
How I’m Feeling: Very large! Haha…I do feel like I am growing very quickly these days. I feel pretty much the same as last week. Great over all with some minor hip and back pain. I love being pregnant though!
Size of Baby: Eggplant (9 in, 1.7 lbs)
Baby’s Development: At nine inches and more than a pound and a half in weight, baby is taller than two juice boxes stacked one on top of the other, and almost as heavy as four of those little juice boxes. At this point, Baby’s skin is turning pinker because of capillaries forming under the skin. Blood vessels are also developing in Baby’s lungs, bringing them one step closer to full maturity. Baby’s nostrils have also started to open, allowing him to begin taking practice breaths.
Best Part of this Week: Both grandma’s got to feel Cullen kick for the first time this past week. I love it!!!
What I’m Looking Forward To: Painting Cullen’s nursery and finishing his quilt. Hopefully we can get those two things done in the next week or so.
