Weeks 25-28

 

According to thebump.com (http://community.thebump.com/cs/ks/blogs/2ndtrimester/pages/weeks-25-28-month-6-eggplant.aspx?r=0)
Weeks 25-28 (month 6): Eggplant

Let your spouse put an ear to your belly -- he might be able to pick up baby's heartbeat (no stethoscope required). Inside the womb, the formation of tiny capillaries is giving baby a healthy pink glow. Baby's also soaking up your antibodies, getting the immune system ready for life outside the womb. Eyes are forming, and baby will soon perfect the blink -- perfect for batting those freshly grown lashes.

Suggestions??

Currently, we're trying to come up with baby names. We had one ready to go if the baby was a boy, but since the UltraSound says we're having a girl, its back to the drawing board.

Sooooo we're asking for suggestions! Leave a comment on this post to let us know what name you suggest. Even if you only want to suggest a first name or middle name just let us know which you had the name in mind for. 

Just remember to keep an eye on her initials! We don't want them saying anything crazy :)

Week 24 Update

Weekly Update:

How far along? 24 weeks

Total weight gain/loss: 10ish

Sleep: Waking up A LOT during the night. Rolling over in bed is pretty painful.

Best moment this week: Arranging furniture in the nursery. It finally looks like a baby's room :)

Movement: Pretty consistent -- Dylan can feel her kick & sometimes I can see it now!

Food cravings: Same stuff -- not craving anything too badly though.

Gender: GIRL!!

Belly Button in or out?: Still in -- and slowly getting more shallow

What I miss: Being able to take cold medication :(

What I am looking forward to: Painting the nursery

Weekly Wisdom: Prenatal vitamins are more for the Mom than the baby. She's going to take whatever she needs (if not from what I'm eating, she'll take it from my bones, etc).

Milestones: Now we're at 24 weeks the gestational survival rate is over 50% -- while kinda weird to think about, its nice to know that we're past a halfway point.
