Week 25

Another week closer! The girls will be making their arrival at the latest in 12 weeks, AGH! That's scares me to death, that seems like it's right around the corner. But I'm also very excited and blessed. Although I have no energy lately. Between working, dealing with Zac and his annoying screaming phase, and carrying these girls around, I'm beat. My back hurts too, just my right side. I know that I better enjoy my precious sleep while I can! Babies' Growth: Week 25-28 The babies’ skin appearance changes, becoming less red and wrinkled as more fat is laid down under the skin. The fingernails and toenails are fully formed. The babies’ eyelids are open and the eyelashes are present. By the end of the seventh month, the babies’ scalp hair is well-developed. Mother's Changes: It is not unusual at this time for you to experience a brief, occasional pain in your side, like a pulling sensation, as the ligaments supporting the uterus are stretched with the advancing pregnancy. You may also experience muscle cramps or spasms in your legs, calves, or feet. These may be caused by fatigue, changing calcium levels, or by the pressure of the enlarging uterus on the nerves in the pelvis. I can relate to the leg cramps! Friday night, my right calf was cramping and Ryan had to knead the cramp out. The dogs really need to learn to give me my space at night. Even though I'm surrounded by pillows, they still manage to wedge their way on me.
