25 weeks

well, this week flew by (but what else is new?) i can't believe christmas is a week away! luckily i'm almost done with all my shopping :) the highlight of the week was getting to meet this little guy who was born on the 10th:

our friends' liz and joe's newest member of their family, maxwell avi. this is the only picture i got of him because he was a little fussy and nursing most of the night, but there will be plenty of chances for pictures in the future. i love this little guy! when we were leaving, thatcher said 'i can't believe we are going to have one of those in a couple months!" me either!

at 25 weeks, our baby girl is up to 13.5 inches long and weighs about a pound and half. my belly is starting to get really big (i know i say this every week). haha. i'm happy she is healthy and growing in there. monday morning i get to go in for my follow up gestational diabetes test. wish me luck! 

as always, here is the weekly belly shot:

whoa mama! 

also, pictures of the nursery painting project coming right up!
