25 weeks...what is a rutabaga?

Friday, July 16, 2010

I'm 25 weeks today!  Here is what the babycenter.com says about the baby this week:

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

So I looked up with a rutabaga is and here's a picture:

She is still moving around a lot...kicking, elbowing, pushing, twisting, you name it, I feel like I can feel her throughout 50% of my day - which is a lot when you think about it.  This truly is a miracle!  And yes, I'm still a little freaked out that there's something growing inside of me especially now that I can feel it moving.

We're going to a wedding tomorrow and I'll try and take some pictures to post.
