Week 25!!

My perception of week 25:

25 weeks, wow time is flying and i still feel so unprepared. I am so forgetful these days, so please don't be offended if you tell me something and i forget. Sleeping, well what exactly is that, it has now become a long lost friend and is sure to become even more distant in about 3 months :(.  The experts say that my baby weighs about a pound and a half, try telling that to my back!! I am getting more and more excited and I do love moving her move around. I get the feeling that she is going to be quite the busy body, I will be "that mom" who is constantly chasing a super hyper child around.



The "experts" perception of week 25:

Week 25


How Big is the Baby at 25 Weeks Pregnant?

By pregnancy week 25, your baby is approximately 1.5 pounds and just under 13.7 inches long. From this point on, your baby's weight and length may vary somewhat. Every baby is different, some babies will be born weighing 7 pounds and others 10.



Your Baby's Growth and Development

This is a big week for your baby! Around pregnancy week 25, the structures of his spine are starting to form, including 33 vertebrae (rings of bone), 150 joints, and 1,000 ligaments. These structures will eventually support your baby’s body weight. Your baby’s capillaries are also forming this week. Capillaries are the tiny blood vessels that move blood from the heart to tissues in the body. By the end of week 25, air sacs and blood vessels in your baby’s lungs will develop, getting him ready for his first breath. So far in your pregnancy, your little one’s nostrils have been plugged up, but they are now beginning to open up.
