25 Weeks Pregnant and Back from Vacation

Baby is the size of an eggplant!!!!

And I decided to wear eggplant! What are the odds!!?



Your baby is growing by leaps and bounds, reaching nine inches in length and passing the pound and a half mark. Under her skin, capillaries are forming and filling with blood and by week's end, air sacs (also lined with capillaries) will develop in her lungs, getting them ready for that first breath. Mind you, those lungs aren't ready for prime time just yet — but they are developing surfactant, a substance that will help them expand after birth. And speaking of breathing, your baby's tiny nostrils, which have been plugged up until now, are starting to open, and his vocal chords are getting ready to roar.


Well baby girl finally decided to make her grand appearance! I know I was showing before, but NOW.... well now she is definitely on board for everyone to notice! It seemed to happen when we were in Mexico. I figure that she was so excited she was finally warm, that she didn't think it was necessary to be curled up in a ball anymore and decided to fully stretch out! Or maybe it was the daily breakfasts, lunches, dinners and desserts! Oh well - it's time!!! The doctor even confirmed it on Wednesday that it was certainly time for me to put on that weight! Weird to hear that! She has also decided that she likes to rock and roll all night and party every day! Any time I sit or lay still she throws a party in there! :)

Our vacation was AMAZING! We spent the first few days in Breckenridge with Bryon's two sisters, a brother-in-law, 3 nephews and his father! This year was different that I couldn't be up in the mountains skiing with him, but I kept occupied with visiting, shopping and of course some time at the spa! Plus, it was awesome to have some family time! However, it snowed EVERY single day while we were there and I was more than happy to head down the mountain last Wednesday and head to Puerto Vallarta.

Ahhhh... Puerto Vallarta.... it was so very nice to get warm finally!!! I wasn't sure how it was going to go since this would be not quite the adventuresome vacations we are used to, but it was fantastic!! We lounged by the pool, by the ocean, had so much yummy food, explored the city and the jungle, escaped to a beautiful nightime island getaway and got to explore another gorgeous island and witnessed some wonderful whale play! We also did quite a bit of shopping for Little Miss and I realized her Daddy is going to completely spoil her! He wanted to buy everything! She got the cutest dresses and hats!

Now we are back home and working on getting back into the swing of things. We have A LOT to do to prepare now for the baby and we need to get on it!
