Week 25 and Christmas!

I am currently 25 weeks, 6 days pregnant and trucking along. Entering the last week of my 2nd Trimester, YAY! That means only 14 weeks give or take a few days maybe.

These past few days have been great! We always spend Christmas Eve with my family and Christmas day with Mike's. I am pretty sure that my unborn child got almost as many gifts as me, hahaha. That's ok. I like baby gifts equally as well I think.

There is so much to do over the next 14 weeks in preparation for James to come. Here's a few:

- Birth, Breast Feeding and Infant CPR Classes.
- Get the nursery set up and together.
- Order the rocker.


The list could go on and on. Luckily I have already found a nursery school to keep him in a couple days a week while I have to work. That's a BIG one to cross off. They are great and very flexible, which I LOVE!

Anyway, Not much else to report. I am getting bigger by the day I feel. In the last four days even... still very strange. But baby needs room to grow, so it's ok. Starting on Christmas night, I started having another bout of the round ligament pain. So much so it hurt to do anything. Sit, stand, go to the bathroom, eat, walk, you get the picture. It lingered the day after too and is just now starting to settle down on Tuesday morning. But it didn't hurt as bad as the first time I guess. So I will spend today picking up the house, getting everything cleaned up and ready to put back in the attic along with a little after Christmas shopping to see if I can find any good deals on things. We shall see!

Development: Baby is beginning to exchange the long, lean look for some baby fat. Baby is also growing more hair and if you could see it, you'd be able to discern it's color and texture!

I can't wait to see what he looks like. Although, I have a feeling he's going to look like his daddy, but with less hair and maybe blue eyes!
