Week 25: Turn it around... and aroundFetal development in pregnancy week 25:fetus in sixth month Your tiny grower’s physical proportions are evening out at this point and most of their remaining development will largely be weight gain and lots and lots of nervous system development. The good news is: if your child is born premature now they’ll be more likely to survive without too much trauma as their lungs began to produce “surfactant” last week, which means their tiny respiratory system is getting stronger with each passing day. Yes, now’s a good time for a minor sigh of relief and a quick pat on the back—all that hard work and conscientious living is really getting your child prepared for a healthy delivery. Keep up the fabulous work mama! This week they’ll be scootching slowly out of the old breech position and start rotating (already!) into a better position for exit during their birth. Their head and feet are slowly rotating so that the head is pointed down towards the birth canal. Time is short (or really long, depending on who you ask)—just (still!) 14 weeks left before you can go back to being a single-resident human.
Happy Valentines Day to those that celebrate it
Happy February 14th day for those that dont.
I personally don't really care for the holiday, I mean why should I want my husband to take one day out of the year to spend oodles of money on me when it should be done throughout the year (or whenever I want) LOL
Regardless we are going to go to dinner tonight, Stephen's brothers work at a restaurant and they will be giving us their discount, so I'm ALL for that. It will be nice to get out and enjoy dinner in a crowded place and hope that your server is not so busy with his other 10 customers to refill your lemonade. :) I'm so positive wouldn't you say?
Alright so I am 25 weeks today, oh my how time is going by. Only 15 weeks left. Back when I was less than 10 weeks in I saw people who were already 25 weeks and I thought "how lucky they are", but now I'm here and I wish to be 39 weeks and 5 days, like Melissa. BUT that can't be so I'm going to enjoy the last 15 weeks if I have to grit my teeth and repeat it over and over. You know how some people are just pro's at being pregnant??? Okay so I'm not so much of a pro. I'm tired and cranky and wish to see my little girl. I think 9 months of this is entirely way too long....I mean you find out your going to have this cute little baby and are told to wait, and for 9 WHOLE months, and for those that go over you may have to wait a couple more days or weeks. It's crazy, especially for those (me) that don't like to wait. I mean i'm the one that sets the microwave at 2 minutes and stops it at 30 seconds because I can't take it anymore....or sets the oven and just sticks the food in without pre heating....I'm telling you I have a bad case of impatience, and the Lord is certainly showing me that I can't control the time of this. Atleast I have a date to look forward to, I might just set it in my brain as June 7th, and maybe by then she will be born.
Anyways aside from complaining, this wonderful sweet little girl that is growing inside me has so many wonderful people just waiting for her to be born. She is kicking and moving and making me have to go pee every 10 minutes but that's alright, it's amazing to feel her move. Sometimes my belly jiggles, but then when you put your hand on it she stops, that little toot, already has a mind of her own. But I love her so much!!! She will be amazing and cute and wonderful and soft and sweet and she will smell so good. AHHHHHHHHHHHHH TIME!!!!!!
I have a big weekend planned with my girlfriends that are coming in town. Two are coming in and one is already here, so us 4 are going to go have some fun on Saturday, I can't wait. We haven't all been together in a long time, I think since my wedding in 2004. It's been too long.
Alright well I need to get to work, so I hope you all enjoy your day today however you celebrate it.
Happy V Day
