Week 25

Eli,

You're growing like a little weed in there. You're now 9 inches long and weighing in at more than 1.5 lbs. Capillaries are forming this week and filling with blood to keep your little organs healthy!! Also your tiny little nostrils are opening and getting ready to breath, and your vocal cords preparing to scream! Cant wait to hear you cry for the first time...after that we're gonna have to have a heart to heart! Your daddy and I have been getting the biggest kick out of your movements lately. Last night we were shining a flashlight at you, and boy did that make you respond like crazy!!! Then today your dad put his ear to my bump and said he could actually hear you swimming around in there. Now I have a cute little pair of swim trunks ready for you when you get here but until then get plenty of practice....the pool is waiting!!
