25th Week and Doctor's Appointment

Week 25: 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.

Hello Isabelle!

Mommy and Daddy went to the baby doctor again today for our usual check-up. We both did well on our trip back to Vancouver! We gained a whopping 3 lbs that week. That brings Mommy's weight up to 119 lbs. The doctor measured our belly and you are growing well! She suggested a maternity belt as Mommy's belly is getting HUGE!

We also got to hear your heartbeat again today. First the doctor put the doppler to Mommy's left side and said that your heartbeat was very faint. But then, she moved it to the right side and she had to turn the volume down! I guess you have a favorite side you like to lounge in.

Mommy also did her glucose test today...yikes, another 2 viles of blood were taken from my vein. We had to drink a nasty beverage that tasted like flat orange pop. Hope our results come back normal!

That's all for today! Oh, one little request, Isabelle...please stop using Mommy's bladder as your trampoline!

Love, Mom
