25 weeks!



"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." (from babyCenter.com)

How far along? 25 weeks
Total weight gain/loss: Loss? Seriously?
Maternity clothes? yes... I'm getting bored with them :-)
Stretch marks? Nope!
Sleep: Baby Cranford seems to enjoy what should be my sleeptime to perform his acrobatics in the womb... as I've heard said before, clearly an omen of the sleepless nights to come
Best moment this week: Deciding on and purchasing our bedding. Which I love. :)
Movement: YES--and my amateur filming DID catch it this week by placing a quarter on my belly and watching the quarter move.
Food cravings: None to speak of...
Gender: BOY. Yay!
Name: Haven’t signed this in blood yet, but probably Elijah.
Labor Signs: Nope, thankfully, although at my 24 wk appointment, Dr. told me Braxton Hicks become more normal now.
Belly Button in or out? In, but definitely noticing some advancement from the back of my belly button.
What I miss: Heartburn-free dinners.
Milestones: THANK YOU, Teisha, for the reminder --at week 24, our baby is viable outside the womb. Thank you, Lord, for your protection over our son thus far. :-)

Milestones- Baby is viable outside the womb at 24 weeks, that's a HUGE milestone!
So excited for you both. We had our little one 10 days ago, and it really is incredible the love you will feel for him and how your love for Michael will grow even more!
Congrats!
