How far along: 25 weeks!

Gender: GIRL!                                                                         

Weight gain: Yucky!  A lot already!

Stretch marks: Same old same old

Belly button: Still in :)

Sleep:  Been sick this week so I cough a lot at night

Miss anything:  My skinnier waste line that took forever to get!

Movement: I love all the thumps I have been feeling.  Still trying to get daddy to feel them!

Cravings: Nope!

Queasy or sick: So sick...not from pregnancy...coughing, sneezing, runny nose, and sore throat.  Being pregnant you can't take anything...so it's been miserable! I still have a very bad cough!

Looking forward to:  More weeks counting down!  And can't wait for daddy to feel her move!  And to get over this cold!  Our appointment is next week too!  Except that it's my diabetes check..yucky!

your baby's the size of a cantaloupe!

your baby at 23 weeks

• She's forming little nipples (yeah, really!)
• Her face is fully formed now -- she just needs a little extra fat to fill it out.
• She's listening to your voice and your heartbeat -- and even to loud sounds like cars honking and dogs barking.

your baby's the size of a pomegranate!

At 10.5 inches and about 12.7 ounces, she's big enough now that you've probably been feeling her movements.

your baby at 21 weeks

• As her digestive system preps for the outside world, she's manufacturing meconium -- the tarry black substance you'll find in her first dirty diaper (ew)!
• If it's a girl, she's already got a lifetime's supply of eggs in her womb -- about six million of them!
