25 Weeks & Counting!

Right now the baby is about 13 1/2 inches and weighs about 1 1/2 lbs. At this point they are comparing him to a rutabaga. I'm not even quite sure what that looks like.

I am feeling really good. I have gained 16 lbs. so far. 12 lbs. less than Nola at this point so I am happy. The heartbeat was in the 140's! I am not really swollen at all but I am sure it's coming. The weather is getting hotter every day. I feel lots of kicks now and they are finally strong enough for Jay to feel them too. At my last appt. they gave me all of the paperwork for the hospital. It freaked me out a little. This is really becoming real.

Nola Update: She is doing really well. I think she is going to be a great big sister. She tells me she is going to help do everything for the baby and she kisses my belly often. No name for him yet. She calls him baby.

She has a little attitude these days that seems to appear out of nowhere. Sometimes I can distract her and sometimes it turns into a full blow tantrum. I try to remember "to enjoy each day because I will be wishing for these days back soon enough!"

We are heading to New Orleans for Mike & Brandi's wedding. I promise to get some belly shots and put them up when we get back. Here we come hot weather!
