25 Weeks

Merry Christmas!! I hope everyone had an amazing holiday this year. I know we did. We spent time with family, ate way too much, and got so many great gifts. My Dad and Shirley made and really cute pink and white Christmas tree all decorated with "It's a girl!" and Kylie already has her very own pink Christmas stocking at my mom's house. She got some baby gear and some really cute outfits and I can hardly believe that someone will actually be able to fit into such tiny clothes. I got my awesome Coach diaper bag and we plan on using some of the money we got for Christmas to buy a video camera to capture all the moments as our baby grows up. We feel so blessed to have such amazing people in our lives and everyone is very excited to meet the new addition to our family.

I'm looking and feeling pregnant these days. My belly seems to grow every day and some of my normal shirts are getting too short in the front and while my jeans still fit, I'm constantly tugging on them because they feel like they are sliding down my butt all the time. I went out to attempt to buy some maternity clothes, but apparently I'm still too small for them so I might have to try out my belly band and see if that will keep my pants up. My lower back is starting to hurt when I stand or sit for too long and my belly button is starting to flatten out. Actually, I think the top portion of it is starting to pop outward already. My linea nigra is also starting to show up. It's still very light, but Jason noticed it the same day I did so I know it's there. I never got a call back from my doctor regarding the glucose test results, so I'm assuming I passed? No news is usually good news when it comes to results.

Weekly Update: 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.

I'm bored with the survey for now. Nothing seems to change except for my weight gain and that just gets depressing, and I only get monthly fruit updates instead of weekly now so its no fun anymore. Here are this week's pictures!
