25 weeks today...

I'm 25 weeks today.  And I'm most definitely looking pregnant these days.  Feeling it on certain days, too.  :)

Here's what's been happening with our little one this week, according to babycenter.com:

Head to heels, your baby now measures about 13 1/2 inches. His weight — a pound and a half — isn't much more than an average rutabaga, but he's beginning to exchange his long, lean look for some baby fat. As he does, his wrinkled skin will begin to smooth out and he'll start to look more and more like a newborn. He's also growing more hair — and if you could see it, you'd now be able to discern its color and texture.

And here's what whattoexpect.com had to say about this week's development:

 

Your baby is growing by leaps and bounds, reaching nine inches in length and passing the pound and a half mark. Under his skin, capillaries are forming and filling with blood and by week's end, air sacs (also lined with capillaries) will develop in his lungs, getting them ready for that first breath. Mind you, those lungs aren't ready for prime time just yet — but they are developing surfactant, a substance that will help them expand after birth. And speaking of breathing, your baby's tiny nostrils, which have been plugged up until now, are starting to open, and his vocal chords are getting ready to roar.

 

I think rutabagas are ugly.  Thankfully, he's only the size of one, not that he looks like one.  :)

Wonder what he WILL look like??
