25 Weeks

Filed Under Pregnancy, Symptoms, Week by Week | 1 Comment

25 Weeks- Development according to Babycenter:

Head to heels, your baby now measures about 13 1/2 inches. His weight — a pound and a half — doesn’t sound like much, but he’s beginning to exchange his long, lean look for a more rounded one. As your baby gains weight, his wrinkled skin will begin to smooth out and he’ll start to look more and more like a newborn. His hair is probably recognizable now in color and texture, although both may change after he’s born.

Wow… I can’t believe it’s been 25 weeks already. I have had a human inside me for 23 weeks now, I guess. According to the weird counting method. I said to Jonathon the other day, “Can you believe it’s been 25 weeks already???” He was like, “Yeah, I can!” Hmm…. maybe I am more of a pain than I realize.

Speaking of pain, my back is about the same. There are good days and bad days. It is almost always worse in the evening- to the point that I can barely walk and just sit in a chair with a heating pad or lay in a warm bathtub.

Other than that, nothing really new. We were out yesterday and my ankles swelled a lot- I looked like a 50-year-old fat lady. I even called my doctor because it was so sudden but she said that was normal for how many weeks I am, and reminded me to be drinking lots of water- which I try to do! Jonathon reminds me a lot. I have never been a big water drinker so I really have to force myself to do it now.

Anyway, that’s about it for this week. The baby continues to kick a lot and be very busy. She seems to stay awake for really long periods at a time in the evening, but maybe that’s when I notice it because I’m sitting still.

    Hey, just wanted to mention that maybe some of your back pain can be contributed to the shoes you’re wearing. When I was pregnant with Layne I could only wear new running shoes. Anything else (like flip flops, dress shoes, no shoes at all) and my hips and back would be killing me by the evening. It’s worth a try!
    Happy New Year!
