Update on 25 Weeks

Babycenter.com: "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." I think she'll have Roger's hair color, a full head of black or blackish-brown hair.





Thebump.com: "That oh-so-handy sense of equilibrium is kicking in, and baby's learning to distinguish right side up from upside down."


Babiesonline.com: "The structures of your baby's spine are beginning to form while the blood vessels of the lungs develop as well. Also, his nostrils are beginning to open. Your baby now has fully formed fingerprints and his bones are continuing to harden. If your baby were delivered now it would have a chance of surviving due to some great advances in medicine. The premature baby could survive in an incubator for few months. His taste buds are forming, and he may be developing a weakness for sweets. He is about 13 inches long and weighs a pound and a half." She actually weighed one pound ten ounces last Monday. I didn't think to ask how long she actually is...I'll have to ask when I see Dr.Stewart next time.
