Hey everyone! It is Wednesday and that means it is time for another edition of Baby Watch! We are at week #25 now, and that means just a quick 15 more weeks to go before I start posting two million baby pictures a day! Bet y’all can’t wait for that! Otherwise Erin and baby are doing very well. Erin spent some time in the baby room this week putting up more stuff on the walls. At this rate there shouldn’t be a free spot open by the time the baby gets here. My idea was to put up a bunch of pictures of me so it would know who I was. But Erin said no and to stop talking.
We did have a doctors appointment this week where they made us wait f-o-r-e-v-e-r, as usual. This time I made the most of it by playing around with all the stuff in the room. Including this really cool giant Q-Tip looking things. When they did finally get to us it was quick as always. Erin did ask a bunch of questions about some of the issues she has had of late. They pretty much told her eating Oreo pie was not something she “had” to do, and the sore muscles and joints were normal. The only other issue has been some swelling in both Erin and I. The doctors said to Erin it was normal and to just try and drink some more water. For me they said it wasn’t swelling and to stop talking during the exam.
Two cool things did come out of our doctors visit this week. First we learned we get to have another ultrasound next week. This isn’t normal, but it isn’t uncommon either. They just want to check on the babies size and see if everything is still on track. So look out for some new pictures in next weeks update. The second cool thing is they let me record the heartbeat! I have embedded it below in case y’all want to take a listen too. All you have to do is hit the play button. Personally I think it is AWESOME!
Here is what the baby site has to say for week #25 ~
Baby’s Growth and Development at 25 Weeks Pregnant
During the 25th week of pregnancy, your baby uses her tiny developing hands to learn about herself and her environment. Here’s what else is going on:
- This week, your baby weighs about a pound and a half, and is about the length of a small cantaloupe.
- Reach for the stars! When you’re 25 weeks pregnant, your baby’s hands are fully developed. She even can make a fist.
- The nerve connections in her hands continue to develop.
- She uses her hands to explore her environment.
Cantaloupe! That is pretty sweet too. I guess we will find out next week just how accurate these food sizes are when we go for the ultrasound. Seriously though who would have thought baby talk would make me hungry! See ya next week!
