25 Weeks

I am enjoying being pregnant so much! (Please remind me of this when I start to get uncomfortable.) It's hard to believe we will be able to meet our little guy in 15 weeks (more or less). When I settle down for the evening, I often find myself watching my stomach more than the TV or book. I just get so fascinated watching and feeling him move around. A couple of weeks ago he had the hicups! I heard that he could start getting them but wondered if I would know when he had them. But it was unmistakable...his whole little body shook on key with each hicup. It was very cute! (Dan was a little worried until I told him they were hicups.) Still no update on names but we are getting closer.

Here's the week 25 belly shot. I have gained about 13 pounds and the little guy is about 1.5 pounds. I have been feeling great...I do get a little exhaused some evenings with the long tax season hours but then I just head home a little early.

Last weekend we purchased the baby furniture. It should arrive in 6-8 weeks so we have a little time to get his room ready. We've already started on the closet. Below is a picture of the bed taken from the website (the bedding is not ours).

Good News at Ultrasound!!

Today we had our second ultrasound to check the status of the cysts and they have disappeared! He is right on track for 22 1/2 weeks and weighs 1lb 2oz. It is amazing how much he has grown in the last 4 weeks from our first ultrasound. He has been putting on some fat and filling out his body and was much more active. It was hard to get a picture of his face because he either kept turning away or putting his hands in the way. It was incredible!!

No wonder his kicks have been so strong lately. Look at his leg!!
