Week 25 Update

Well, I sailed right into Week 25 this past Saturday. It's hard to believe that I only have 15 weeks to go! Things are going really well these days, so I certainly can't complain about that.

Highlights of Week 24:

• We ordered and picked up the glider and ottoman for Bunky's room. It's super soft and comfy, so I certainly like that! It's so exciting to imagine all of the time we'll spend with our little one in that chair, whether it's reading, feeding, rocking him or her to sleep. Given what we've heard about parenting, we may do our fair share of sleeping in that chair as well.
• Bunky continued to be very active with lots of kicks. He or she has now added rolls and other squirmy moves to the repertoire. It certainly makes for some interesting feelings in my belly! Although baby has spurts of activity throughout the day, he or she is definitely most active at night. The magic time is right around 10 p.m. It's so funny how predictable he or she is in that regard!

What's happening in Week 25:

• Bunky continues to put on weight (and boy can mommy tell based on the size of her growing belly!)
  
• Baby can touch and hold his or her feet and make a fist.
• More and more hair is growing on baby's scalp.
• Baby measures about 13 1/2 inches and weighs about a pound and a half.
  

The reality that we're having a baby is slowing hitting Matt and me. We'll be in the middle of a conversation or driving down the street, and one of us will turn to the other and say: "We're having a baby!" It's just funny how, although we've known this for several months now, it's hitting us in a new way lately.

Exciting things are in store for tomorrow: I have another ultrasound! Although it's a diagnostic ultrasound to make sure that I'm not at risk for pre-term labor, we should be able to get another glimpse of our sweet baby boy or girl. More to come later!
