25 Weeks - On Location

We didn't forget to take our weekly "baby growth" pictures even though we were away. So, here's baby, on location!

Being over 6 months pregnant didn't slow us up much on vacation. It was nice to have the opportunity to get some exercise every day and baby cooperated (for the most part). I think my uterus grew a good bit this week and baby definitely started shifting to enjoy the new-found inch or two. Last Thursday, this "shifting" was quite unbearable for a bit -- I think it struck a nerve in my lower back (almost around my tailbone). Luckily, it only happened a few times and left me pretty sore for just 2 days.
Some things we learned this week:
1. Baby enjoys plane rides! Somersaults & jumping jacks were very common on the plane.
2. Baby's kicks or punches can now almost reach my ribs:)
3. My body is in full practice mode for delivery; Braxton Hicks contractions have truly begun.
