25 Weeks

Where did the month of October go?  Baby Fitz has now grown from a spaghetti squash to a large ear of corn--from 11 inches to 13 1/2 inches from head to heel!  She has also grown from weighing a pound to a pound and a half.  Blood vessels in her lungs are developing to prepare for breathing.  Her brain is growing quickly now and her taste buds are continuing to develop.  She is starting to gain some baby fat and is starting to look more and more like a newborn.  She is moving around like crazy especially when I am sitting or lying down.

I'll try to recap the last couple of weeks...

My brother turned 25 on the 16th!  We had friends visit from the 16th to the 19th and enjoyed getting to hang out with them.  The following weekend Thomas went to Alabama with a group from Pepperdine for the World Mission Workshop and I went to Tennessee to visit Addy Grace (I got to see Matt, Jenny, and my parents too!).  Addy Grace is a precious, beautiful baby.  I can't wait for Thomas to meet her!  Thomas has been busy painting the baby's room and our baby furniture has started coming in.  We have a glider and a dresser and the crib should come sometime this week.  We enjoyed spending time with friends this weekend and Thomas carved a great pumpkin for Halloween.  It is already November--I'm sure this month is going to fly by!  We are looking forward to our company next weekend (Mama Nancy, Grandma, Allison and Darrin) and being in Albuquerque for Thanksgiving.  

Thomas and I are going to our first birth/parenting class on Tuesday night.  3 more months to go...
