25 Weeks!

Another long work day. I got home at 8:30 tonight because we had "Kindergarten Parent Curriculum Night" at school. My day started with a staff meeting at 7:45, so I'm pretty tired tonight now. I'm catching up a little on my DVR tonight and then I'm off to bed soon.

The baby has been really active every day now. I feel kicks, turns, somersaults, hiccups, etc. During today's staff meeting, I had a hard time paying attention to our principal because I kept watching my stomach move and jump. What a cool experience!

My favorite pregnany book (thanks Amanda!) says that this week the baby's toenails and fingernails are growing over the nail beds. Also, blood vessels are forming in his or her lungs. The baby should be approaching 2 pounds in weight now and is over 12 inches long.

I took these pictures when I got home from work a little while ago:


On Tuesday, I had to have a substitute teacher take over my class for a short time so I could attend a meeting. This was the first substitute teacher for my students this year, so I had to explain to them what a substitute teacher even is. As soon as I started talking about it, a few of the kids suddenly got really excited and said "You're going to go have your baby!!" They keep me laughing every day, that's for sure :-)

Have a great night!

Love, Mindy and Baby S.
