25 Weeks

I know I'm already at 26 weeks, but since I haven't taken a picture yet for this week, you're getting some old news! At 25 weeks our baby is about 13 1/2 inches long, weighs around 1 1/2 pounds, and is about the size of a rutabaga...but who knows what that looks like?! She loves to kick, usually when I am cleaning teeth at work, or when I am trying to go to sleep at night. Convenient, just like her due date!

We have been trying to downsize and packing what we can. The Wilsons are coming soon with lots of boxes to help us get packed up. Time sure flies by when you're busy! I have been going to lots of yard sales and trying to get together some baby things so I'm not scrambling to get everything together the month before she's due. We have decided to cloth diaper, and before you think we are crazy you should look into it yourself! Not only is it MUCH less expensive, but it is more healthy for your baby, and environmentally friendly because you don't fill our landfills up with dirty diapers! Fyi...it takes 400-500 years for each disposable diaper to disintegrate. Think about how many you go through in just a week! If you want more information on cloth diapering, feel free to ask! :) I'm by no means an expert, but I hope to be soon.

I find this pictue a bit contradicting to your comment about "down-sizing"!!!(ha ha!:)) So glad you're feeling well and the babe is growing! You are a very cute pregnant lady!

I do believe that cloth diapers are the healthiest and cheapest way to go...I just never had enough patience when I was a new mom to try. I have to hand it to you!

Hey Nick, that means you get to do for your baby girl what Molly, Sam and I did for you...dunk the dirty diapers in the toilet to rinse them; and figure out how to pin them without poking your fingers! :) (PS my friend uses cloth and they have great liners and plastic pants these days...they don't leak as much as I thought they would!)

So happy for you two! You'll be great parents!

Love ya, Em
