Week 25

Today's another Thursday and so begins another week of pregnancy. Here is what BabyCenter.com has to say about Week 25:
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.

This week we've been decorating the house for Christmas. Our tree is up and the other decorations are scattered around the house. Sudsie has been moving a lot more lately but continues to stop when people try to feel him. I'm feeling great and continue to have energy. In the later afternoon and evening my back starts to ache a little bit but it's still nothing compared to the arthritis flare ups I used to experience. It is now obvious to strangers that I'm pregnant and I get a lot of "When are you due?", "Do you know what you're having?", "Have you picked out a name?" All of this is better than the "Is she pregnant or just fat looks".

Cravings this week: Pumpkin pie (had to make another one when we ran out of Thanksgiving leftovers!) string cheese and mexican food. This kid is going to come out saying "Yo quiero Taco Bell!"
