25 Weeks

According to babycenter.com Ava should be gaining some body fat and her skin is about to smooth out and she'll look more like a newborn. She's also growing more hair and if we could see it, we'd be able to see her hair color and texture.

I wonder all the time what she's going to look like, what features she'll take from me and which ones she's going to take from Noah. Is she going to have light hair color? Will her skin be pale? Will she have asian eyes? Will she have my dad's big ears? Or Noah's big noggin? All I know is that Noah and I will be totally in love with her!

She's quite active these days, kicking and turning all the time. I can't say the same for me. In the first trimester I was able to take long walks with Paxx. I tried to the other day and I couldn't make it. I've been feeling what they call round ligament pain alot since I've been in my second trimester. It's this sharp pain in my hips and my groin area. It hurts when I walk, when I get up, when I lay down. It's probably the most uncomfortable symptom of all the symptoms I've experienced with this pregnancy. The doctor says it's because my uterus has to stretch to the size of a watermelon! holy cow! The ligaments that surround my uterus and groin area have to stretch to accomodate this. Well ouch is all I have to say.

I have been super slack about taking belly pictures. That is my goal this week.
