25 weeks

I'm 5/8 the way through the pregnancy! Woo-hoo!!! I can't believe I am this far along already :)

I love the comments that people have made lately "You're all belly," "You can't be 6 months," etc. It makes me feel really good, though I imagine this can't go on for much longer ;)

I spent much of the day yesterday in 90* heat and humidity walking around Baltimore with a couple of my friends. We couldn't get into the aquarium until the middle of the afternoon so we did a "Duck Tour" first. It's basically this truck, shaped like a duck, that takes you around the city, and then gets into the water, and acts as a boat, too. It's pretty neat. With all the bumping around, and chugging water, I had to pee soooooo badly, that I thought I was going to explode towards the end. The aquarium was nice, though we didn't get to see very much of the exhibits (way too crowded) but the Dolphin Show and 4d show were very cool. All in all, a good day.

Without further ado:
Head to heels, your baby now measures about 13 1/2 inches. His weight — a pound and a half — isn't much more than an average rutabaga, but 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.
