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.

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.

The Greatest Mom Ever!

My mom graduated from UVU today with a Bachelor Degree in Hospitality. I am so proud and excited for her. She is a huge inspiration to me, raising kids and still managing to get a degree, that's awesome! Way to go Mom!

Baby Outfits!

My sister bought these two cute outfits. There is a swimsuit that matches the pants too!

So,  my mom is really excited. She started making pink aprons before we even knew it was a girl! She made this apron and the booties. She bought us the cute little jumper set.

5 months and counting

Wow, alot has happened since our last post. First, we found out that we will be having a baby girl! We were already guessing she was a girl so it really wasn't too surprising for us. We are super excited and I keep teasing Donald that she is going to have him wrapped around her little fingers. She is always moving and I actually got a little worried that she was really trying to get out, but the doctor assured me she is just healthy. Donald turned 31 on April 2nd, we took a trip to layton to get away. Even though we didn't travel very far, we still had a really great time. It was a great reminder of just how important couple time is. I have the greatest husband in the world and I am really so grateful for all he does.

Pregnancy Update

Well, first trimester is over which means... NO MORE MORNING SICKNESS!!! Donald is starting to get more excited and less nervous about the whole pregnancy, which helps alot. Besides constantly being tired and getting heartburn from EVERYTHING I eat,  I'm doing good. Pregnancy is alot of fun right now, but i'm sure if you ask me after the labor I probably won't say that. My skin is amazing right now, I guess that's what they call the "pregnancy glow". One downside to being pregnant is I have become extremely lazy, hopefully that will go away soon because it's really not a good look for a wife!

New to blogging!!

Well, this is the first blog ever! I'm thinking 'What did I get myself into?'. Well since this is overwhelming for me i'll keep it short and sweet. Hopefully with time we will get better at this and you will continue to stop by!
