Baby has a new trick now of randomly working his way up till he's under his ribs. This has the advantage of moving him off my bladder, but then I get super bad indigestion wherein I have a hard time breathing and even loose the remains of my dinner. Not cool. :-) But most the time he's very good and stays low, and if I make sure to drink enough and have some milk before bed, it's been mostly okay. I love feeling him all over the place now, high as well as low, and the kicks and rolls come everywhere! He is definitely an active little baby!
I got some flannel and fleece at JoAnns this last week while it was on sale so I can make baby blankets. Somehow, that pile of fabric is so thrilling! Holding it and knowing it's blankets that will wrap my baby up and keep him warm, the fleece for him to snuggle in and everything... it's amazing! I'm not exactly sure where he is at right now...I'm 25 weeks today, which means normally he would be about 13.5 inches long and 1.5 lbs. But two weeks ago he was measuring 1.5 lbs and was about two weeks ahead of schedule! I don't know if he's still that far ahead, but assuming one week off, he's probably about 14", and not quite 2lbs. He should be putting on baby fat now on those skinny little bones of his, his lungs are developing, and his hearing is improving. I can tell that just by the way he reacts to the sound of Daddy's voice, which he loves! He is approximately the size of an English Hothouse Cucumber, I am told. :-) A little hard to picture, but okay...
Otherwise all has been progressing fairly steadily. We went house hunting and have a definite prospect, which I'm excited about! Trying not to get my hopes up too much, but the idea of having our own house by the time Baby comes has me excited despite myself!
