roo-2: 25 weeks

well, i think it is the beginning of the end. i think i am departing the pregnancy sweet spot (after the morning sickness and extreme tiredness, but before the pain, swelling, and general discomfort.) my ankles are gone. see you in july, ankles. my feet are puffy and shoes don't fit. why doesn't flip-flop weather start in march??? i have my crocs to carry me into warmer temps at least. and my rings barely fit anymore. by the end of the day, i just have to take them off.
Head to heels, your baby now measures about 13 1/2 inches. Her weight — a pound and a half — isn't much more than an average rutabaga, but she's beginning to exchange her long, lean look for some baby fat. As she does, her wrinkled skin will begin to smooth out and she'll start to look more and more like a newborn. She's also growing more hair — and if you could see it, you'd now be able to discern its color and texture.
