25 weeks!

Hey Friends... sorry it's been a few days. the site was down for maintenance and in "read only" status for the past couple of days. Therefore, I couldn't post anything new until it was done! So, an update on the pregnancy. I'm officially 25 weeks!! Only 15 more to go! yay!




- What I'm craving these days: hmmmm... nothing specific these days. Since i got sick, i've been drinking water...lots and lots of water. so I guess I could say some caffeine or coffee would be nice! 


- How I'm feeling: tired and huge. My feet have decided to swell up again for no apparent reason other than to make me mad. not to mention, my fingers seem to be swelling a little as well as my face. Only 15 more weeks though...  


- What I don't like: still don't like the smell of steak...but other than that..nothing has bothered me this past week. 


- Sleep: I can only sleep on my left side now. I don't even attempt to try to lay on my right side, because it's impossible. what else is impossible, sleeping on my stomach. I do miss those days. My body pillow has been helping me to get a lot more sleep though! 


- What I'm looking forward to: starting to work on his bedding. Also, decorating the baby room and getting to see all of my ideas as a finished product! :) 


- Size of Baby Schiff: well, according to my baby books, which both say differently, Baby Schiff is anywhere between about 8-12 inches. i know...kinda a big range.. but i don't know which one is right.. so we'll just do an estimate! He weighs about 1 1/2 pounds now! :)

- Baby Schiff's development this week: Believe it or not, Baby Schiff's physical proportions are pretty much ready for birth. His remaining development will mainly be nervous system and weight gain. Since his lungs started producing "sufactant" last week, his tiny respiratory system is getting stronger each day! 


-Message to Baby Schiff from Mommy: This week we got quite a few things to prepare for your arrival. I ordered your bedding material, bought some bedding to customize, and even came up with a few more ideas for your room. It's going to be great! I started thinking of everything that I thought would be cool to have in my room as a kid and figured out ways to put them in your room! Soon, we're going to have your room finished! I can't wait. Love always <3
