25 Weeks

I'm not keen on posting photos on the internet that show more of my skin than I would show on the beach, but this photo made me say, "Holy CRAP," when I looked at it last night. Richard said, "Yeah, you got really pregnant this week."

Here is a close-up photo of what's going on this week. *If you click on the photo, it will take you to the website. Drag your cursor across each underlined word and you can learn about DesvousJunior!
This week, Baby weighs about 1.5lbs and from head to heels measures about 13.5 inches. Isn't that cool?! It is about the size of an average rutabaga.

Baby is also beginning to "fill out" by gaining body fat. Its hair is also recognizable by color and texture, though it may change after birth.
Birth...which is getting closer and closer. I should get to work!

Advertisment

I was flipping through Rolling Stone last night and came across this ad.

I can't believe how much it looks like me and Richard!

Doubtful

Just when I start to doubt myself and my future parenting skills, or patience, or energy, God uses something fun to give me the confidence I need in myself.

Like this little man, Easton James, my cousin's little boy.

I had such a blast spending the weekend with him.

Shredding documents found in Grandma's basement. The photo didn't turn out very well, but you get the idea.

The aftermath.

Normally this sort of thing would give me a stroke, but instead (after a moment's panic, I admit)I found it highly amusing. And hey, it kept him busy.

All in all, spending time with this dolly made me very excited for my own baby to arrive.

Thanks, E-man. Love you.
