25 Weeks

{Alex now weighs about the same as a rutabaga. Somewhere between 1 1/2 lbs to 2 lbs. He is about 14 inches long.}

First off, let me just say~ This truly IS as uncomfortable as it looks!

I'm pretty sure this is going to be a huge kid. Yesterday was THEE MOST PAINFUL day ever. It was like he was wedging his entire body into my left side. It was a constant severe side ache for about 3 hours straight where I just laid on my bed and tried to breathe. Last night gave me no sleep at all and I was in the tub at 6 am dark and early this morning trying to relieve some of the pain. Now his upper half is jammed into my left side and he's constantly kicking at my right side. He truly does NOT fit in there anymore and we still have 15 more weeks! I'm just dreading the day he starts breaking my ribs, he kicks THAT hard.

Here's an idea of what's going on in there :


Something new this week: He is now starting to pack on the baby fat, turning him from a lean wrinkly baby, to filling out those wrinkles with little baby chub and turning him into the little chunker I know he's going to be!
