25 Weeks - Perks of Being a Cauliflower


I'm all for dressing kids up in ridiculous outfits the majority of their childhood but this poor kid .... Imagine first day of school. Shirt? Ironed perfectly, check. Pants? Starched and clean, check. Accessories? Cauliflower hat and belt, check check.

25 weeks today! Well, actually the due date has changed yet again (according to my last scan) so who knows exactly where I am? DD Oct 5th now maybe? 

Most definitely getting bigger! My rotund belly was hard and crampy all squished in to my regular leggings, so I was very excited when I got a delivery from the US today. Thanks so much mom and dad for all the maternity clothes!!! I forgot how good breathing can be!



Baby should be up to a pound and a half and about 9 inches long. The headline of week 25 on whattoexpect.com is;
"As baby prepares to take his first breath, pesky hemorrhoids may make you swear under yours."
Pesky hemorrhoids? Way to try to make it light hearted internet. Imagine your Dr trying to lighten up a diagnosis.
"I'm sorry to inform you but the test results have came back and you have a nasty case of that nettlesome neurosyphilis."  
Aggravating AIDS, bothersome botulism, cumbersome chlamydia... I'm here all night!

I guess I should mention, now that you are all thinking thinking about it, my anus is currently hemorrhoid-less. Pffew right? I can feel my hips and pelvis widening though. Fancy medical term: Symphysis Pubis Dysfunction. Late night TV shopping term: Expanda Crotch 2014.
