25 Weeks and Counting

6 Months!  What a milestone we have here!  It seems both to have gone quickly and yet not at the same time, but we have reached the 25 weeks mark.

Baby Bean is now the size of an eggplant!  The average size is about 13.6 inches to 14.8 inches and weighs about 1.5 to 2.5 pounds.  He's going to be a big boy, so I am guessing we lean toward the 2.5 pounds at this point!

This week, Baby Bean is enjoying a new sense of equilibrium, which means he knows which way is up and which is down. He is growing more fat, and more hair too!


Last week's glucose test produced negative results!  This means that Mom must check her sugar in the mornings and two hours after each meal.  I will keep a record of it and show the nutritionist on September 22nd, for the first appointment with them.  I will also be watching all sugar intake, which may mean grumpy mornings without any coffee!!!

Mommy is also seeing a physical therapist for hip pain and is pleased to report that the therapy is helping!  Both the muscle energy and ice, plus the stretching exercises are providing some relief.

Other exciting news includes our next doctor's appointment with a new doctor and I will soon schedule our 3D ultrasound!
