Hawes Family: 25 Weeks

How far along: 25 Weeks

How big is baby: Head to heels, your baby now measures about 13 1/2 inches. His weight — 1 1/2 pounds — isn't much more than an average rutabaga.

This week's big developments: 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

My Body:
Your baby's not the only one with more hair — your locks may look more full and lustrous than ever. It's not that you're growing more hair, but thanks to hormonal changes, the hair that you'd normally shed is sticking around longer than usual. Enjoy the fullness while you can — the extra hair will fall out after you give birth. You may also notice that you can't move around as gracefully as before.

Weight gain/loss: Same

Maternity clothes: Nothing new, need warmer tops.
Best moment this week: First baby shower hosted by Marrie (grandma to be) for family and family friends. It is so fun to actually have baby boy things to look at. It makes me want my baby boy to be here more. Today I went through all the items to organize them and thought I would take pictures :) I am so thankful and feel so loved and supported. I am excited my baby boy will be so loved.

Movement: Lots of movement, it's the best part of being pregnant.

Miss Anything: Being able to get comfortable easily.

Food cravings: Hot chocolate has been my craving this week. I have an abnormally crazy tolerance to spicy food!

Symptoms: I cant drink anything without having to go to the bathroom almost immediately. I feel less emotional which is so nice!
Sleep: Some days good others not good.
Anything making you queasy or sick: Orange juice is hard on my stomach
Gender: BOY!!! I cant wait to meet him.

Looking forward to: Getting room ready, once Nathan's stuff is out. Hoping to work on it more this weekend.
