25 Weeks

How Far Along: 25 Weeks today

Countdown: 105 days

Exercise: Took Mugsy on a "walk" this morning. She's so terrible on leash. It's more of a moving tug-of-war around the airport. It was too hot for her so she acted up until I let her go back inside. I'll probably go for a bike ride down to the boat ramp this evening.

Stretch marks: not that I can see, although I will admit it's getting harder to see my belly's undercarriage.

Sleep: There was nothing but murder mystery shows on last night. One of which was a family who was murdered in their beach house, the wife was pregnant with a boy. So needless to say I did not fall asleep easily. But once asleep I slept like a rock until I woke up with a stuffed up nose and a full bladder. Then back to rock-like slumber. Then awake again. Asleep again. And so on and so forth.

Best Moment of the Week: Made a stencil for the back window of my car advertising my Couples Workshops. Came out pretty good I think. Also, died Mugsy green with food coloring again.

Worst Moment of the Week: When Jay made me wash the food coloring off of Mugsy because he didn't find it as hilarious as I did.

Movement: Stronger flutters everyday and more of them!

Food Cravings: Pizza, pizza, and more pizza.

Food Adversions: any milk other than Borden's.

Gender: Still planning on him being a boy.

Belly Button In or Out: In!

What I Miss: fitting into my favorite clothes.

What I am Looking Forward To: Going to Dallas next weekend for Jay's friend's birthday party.

About the Baby This Week: Head to heels he should be measuring around 13.5 inches, weighing about a pound and a half, roughly the size of a rutabaga. He's starting to gain fat and grow hair which will make him look more like a newborn rather than the alien look he's been working for the past 5 months. If we could see him now, we'd be able to know his hair color and texture. But looking at mom and dad, I'm guessing he'll be a dark haired boy (although Jay swears he had blonde hair at birth).
