25 Weeks Pregnant!!!

Head to heels, your baby now measures about 13 1/2 inches. He is weighing about a pound and a half and is 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.

Baby now weighs about the same as a rutabaga!!!

Total weight gain: Up 2 more lbs. Ugh. 18 lbs total. Sign of a healthy pregnancy...right??? Last week at my doctor's appointment, my doctor said I had a little bit of swelling my legs so maybe it is not all fat that I am gaining. She also said that I am measuring about a week a head of schedule. I hope my baby will be a normal size.
Sleep: Actually had a couple good nights of sleep this past week. I started to take allergy meds and I think they are working. My doctor told me to take some Tyenol PM and that has helped me sleep as well. Still not great but I'll take a couple good nights of sleep a week.
Other symptoms: Baby is starting to take up more and more space in my body. My ribs are expanding, my lungs are getting smooshed and there is less and less space for food in my stomach.
Best moment last week: The baby clothes I ordered came! They are so cute. It is hard to believe that as soon as this summer, there will be a little one living in those clothes.
What I miss: My old body. Moving quickly. Not being winded when sitting, standing, walking...etc.
What I am looking forward to: Please, Dan, can we start on the nursery, order the crib, pick a name, etc., etc....He is so busy with work and school. I guess his mind is just not on baby things like me. :(
Milestones: Starting my 6th month of pregnancy!
25 Week Belly Picture: Kind of blurry. I need a new camara...Maybe a mother's day gift???
