Wow 25 weeks! I found out an amazing fact today while reading my baby books, Layla could live if she was born now. It wouldn't be easy but with the advances they have made in medicine treating premature babies she would have a great chance of survival. As an almost mother this is so comforting.
She is 1 1/2 pounds and almost 9 inches long. She moves all of the time! It actually hurts a little and I wasn't expecting that. The other day I told Chris I felt like she was a little vampire baby and was going to break her way through my skin. (I am a big Twitard, if you didn't already know!) I can definitely tell how big she has gotten by how much stronger she kicks and punches.
It is such an amazing a scary time. She is getting bigger and I am getting closer to becoming a mom. I just keep feeling like I should be older. I guess when you are in your teens you think of 27 as old. And I do not feel that old. Looking back I thought as this age I would just know what to do, like a chip is implanted and you just know things. You figure you would know how to raise a child, how to be married and how to buy a house. And you really don't know any of it. It is weird because when you look at your parents you think I wonder who taught them how to care for me. What if Layla gets a fever, will I know what to do? My parents always seemed to know what to do.
It is exciting to start to think about things like that. I am growing up and I like it. I feel like I have been an adult since I was 10, but I am finally enjoying that feeling.
Chris was gone this weekend and it was not very fun for me. Mali seems to rebel more. I am just thankful that it is finally Sunday and Chris should be home this afternoon.
Today I am going to my Aunts for brunch. My cousin is coming in from Alaska where he is stationed in the army. He has been in Afghanistan for the past year and we have all really missed him.
