25 Week Preggie Update

Hello loves!  25 weeks here!  The July 4th holiday weekend just ended and I'm getting back into the swing of things after my 4 day weekend.  It was a bit chilly.  We have 6 more days of summer school left and I can't wait to be done.  We also announced our pregnancy on social media this week.  I was anti at first, but I wanted to be able to share the joys of our pregnancy, so I caved in.

Not too many changes have been happening on my end.  I always feel like I'm the same size until I take a bump update pic and can see.  I feel like I'm starting to just get wider in the belly area...not really growing outward.  I have been a little bit more uncomfortable though and I can feel my belly stretching on the sides and in my back.  I still have no stretch marks, which is a plus!  One thing that I noticed is that my hips are easier to slightly pop out of place.  I must have turned wrong the other day and gosh, did it hurt my inner pelvis!  I need to be more careful about quick turns and sudden movements.

According to all my apps Ovuline, What To Expect and Baby Center, Baby B is 13.5-14 inches and weighs about 1.7 pounds, so he/she is starting to pack on some fat and looking less wrinkly.  He/she's capillaries are forming and filling with blood and air sacks are continuing to get better to take their first breath.  The baby's nostrils have also started to open and the vocal cords are further developing!  Baby B is also growing more hair and it actually has color and texture to it.

In addition to the bump pic this week, I've included some pics from the holiday weekend...just for a little fun!

  

Yummy!
