Week 25

Week 25 and my little Baby D is the size of an eggplant. The eggplant is weeks 25-28.



Baby
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.

Nothing new to report. This week I ordered my baby shower invitations which I'm super excited. I saw the proof and I couldn't be happier. They came out so good. I should get them in 2 weeks and than I'm going to be mailing them out. I still need to organize my registeries and make sure there isn't anything else I need to add.

On Wednesday John and I celebrate 9 years that we have been together. It's amazing to think that it's been 9 years. Time sure flies. We went out for a nice dinner.

Sleeping is still good. I did notice that my appetite has increased a little bit. I'm still trying hard to eat healthy but sometimes you just crave those bad things, and you go for them. I've been craving a good ice cream sundae lately. I think it's the nice warm weather that we have gotten that makes me want a nice cold ice cream.

This weekend is Memorial Day weekend and we have nothing planned which is nice. Monday I'm going for my NST and this time John is coming with me since we are both off from work. He's never heard the baby's hb so I think he will enjoy hearing it for a good 30 minutes. Those are going okay. I've had 2 of them done and both times his heart rate drops a little when he moves. This week I had an unexpected u/s to have my AF check. Thank God everything was okay. They think I'm a little too early to have NST done so that's why the heart rate drops, I'm not too worried about it. My OB wants me to have them done every week, so that is the plan. Every Monday I go for my NST. Let's see how his heart rate is on Monday. I hope everyone has a nice Memorial Day weekend!!!

As I said in the last post that we finally ordered the furniture. Well here is a picture of the crib. This crib will convert to a twin size bed which is what I had wanted all along. The rail is a drop down rail which is good to put him down and get him up.



And this shows a few pieces from the furniture set. We didn't get the armoire shown in the picture. We also got the 6 draw dresser which I'll use for the changing table and the hutch to be mounted on. The colors are exactly the same ones in the picture, espresso with a natural wood color. They say it's going to take about 10 weeks for it to come in, so that will be in August. Hopefully it comes in a little sooner.
