VIRGINA BEACH FOR THANKSGIVING

So we flew to Virginia Beach for thanksgiving with Conner's family and we had a great time.
Baby erwin had his first baby shower thrown by 5 of martha's friends. They made a baby cake out of diapers and receiving blankets and covered it in toys and baby things! I will put a picture up soon so you can see how cute it was....

Conner's dad threw a cocktail party for us and baby erwin the same day! It was fun to meet everyone, I really felt the spirit of the holidays while I was there. All of the leaves were falling and it was cold.... brrrr

we had a really nice time, it was just too short. We flew home first class and that was so comfortable compared to the way we flew there, in the emergency row on the red eye with no reclining seats... whew! That was a tough one!

xoxoxoxo more on baby erwin's development coming soon, stay tuned!

25 weeks Preggers...

Your baby now weighs a little less than 2 pounds and measures about 14 inches from head to heel. Her weight will more than triple between now and birth as she rapidly lays down baby fat. She'll need that fat to help adjust to colder temperatures outside the womb and as a source of energy and calories in the first days of life. It's not uncommon for newborns, especially those who are breastfed, to lose weight (sometimes as much as 10 percent of their birth weight) in the first week after birth.

The nerve pathways in your baby's ears are developing, which means her response to sounds is growing more consistent. Her lungs are developing now, too, as she continues to take small breaths of amniotic fluid — good practice for when she's born and takes that first breath of air. If you're having a boy, his testicles are beginning to descend into his scrotum — a trip that will take about two to three days.
