25 weeks - did you know?

• Baby boy is starting to put on the baby fat, which will be one of the main ongoing changes in appearance in the upcoming weeks.
• Baby is approximately 1 3/4 pounds and 13.5 inches in lenght.  That is the approximate size of a 5 pound bag of flour or eggplant.
• This week baby will be scootching slowly out of the old breech position and start rotating (already) into a better position for delivery.
• Baby boy is now able to do more with his fingers and can now move his fingers to make a complete fist.  His movements become more dexterous, and he will be able to touch and hold his feet. He will also begin to prefer his left or right hand at this time.
• The tooth fairy is hovering over baby boy this week as his permanent "grown-up" teeth are developing in buds high inside his gums.
• Baby boy's nerves around the mouth and lip area are showing more sensitivity now, preparing baby for eating. His swallowing reflexes are developing too.
