25 weeks!

Pregnancy Highlights:

Week: 25

Fruit/Veggie: Rutabaga

Baby Changes: Our baby boy is now 13 1/2 inches long and weighs a little over a 1.5 pounds. Since he is producing more fat, the wrinkles in his skin are starting to smooth out this week. His capillaries are forming and with blood by the end of the week. His air sacs will develop in his lungs which is getting him ready for his first breath when he is born. He is still developing surfactant, which will help his air sacs expand when he is born. His nostrils, which have been plugged up until this point, are starting to open. It is crazy to me that they live in fluid but don't choke and that the fluid doesn't bother them! God is a wonderful creator! His vocal cords are also developing for that first cry. His testes are descending from his scrotum. He also can touch and hold his feet now. He will already start to favor either his right or left hand. He is also already getting into his own sleep routine.

Name: We are still stuck between 2 names!! Hopefully we can decide soon :)

Movement: He is still my little mover. He moves all the time. You can see my belly moving sometimes. When he doesn't move a lot in a day I don't like that now because I am so used to him moving a lot. I think we may have one active boy on our hands :)

Symptoms: I am having stretching pains now and then but overall feeling well!I am so incredibly blessed!

Sleep:I am sleeping well. I have a prenatal pillow that is great! I love sleeping in since its summer time!

Daddy Update: Daddy is doing well! He likes to feel him move, but our boy can be temperamental and not move when he puts his hand on my belly. He has talked to him several times and is excited for him to just be here! I think the summer will fly by for daddy because it is packed with youth events!

News: I am just now doing the 25 week update because we had camp last week. We left on Monday so I wasn't able to get it done. Camp went great! The bus' air doesn't work well so it was very hot on the way up and back and that was the worst part. It was hot there but I could go inside to get relief if I needed it. I made sure to stay hydrated and drank at least 1 1/2 gallons a day from Monday to Friday. I am not drinking that much not that I am back, although I should. I felt good all week. I got tired here and there but would just go rest a little bit if I needed to. Thursday was the only rough day for me. My back hurt pretty bad and I was pretty sore all day and just exhausted. We made it back and crashed Friday. Saturday we didn't do much either. We ran a few errands and finished Lost on Netflix. It was a great week and we love our students and were really blessed by God!

Days until baby boy is due: 106 Days

Mommy to be!
