I am so shocked I am able to fit into some of my dresses... it is easy getting them on, harder to get them off.
I am so happy to be at 25 weeks pregnant. I am learning I can no longer sleep on my back.... this morning I woke up on my back and my lungs were killing me! I felt like something heavy was on them for a long time... it hurt! I had to sit up and take a few good breathes to make the pain go away... I am glad baby Singer was kicking away or else I would have been worried!
I am anxious to get to full-term because then I can breath easy knowing my baby has a chance at life. Here is a cool chart someone posted. Odds of a Premature Baby's Survival by Length of Pregnancy Length of Pregnancy Likelihood of Survival 23 weeks 17% 24 weeks 39% 25 weeks 50% 26 weeks 80% 27 weeks 90% 28-31 weeks 90-95% 32-33 weeks 95% 34+ weeks Almost as likely as a full-term baby So as of this week our baby has a 50% chance of life. My true goal is 39 weeks but I know as I hit 28 - 33 weeks I will be feeling out of the danger zone. Grow baby grow!!! It is crazy how much they grow in a week, next week my chances jump to 80%! That's a 30% increase. 105 days to go till baby is here, I am going to start a count down starting at 100 on FB. To keep me busy and sane I am signing us up for Birthing Classes, Breast feeding Classes and an Infant CPR class. Before that I have finals... then the classes beguine, then our Ann. in between, then baby shower then baby!!! So very excited. I 
Your Baby Week 25:
Your baby now weighs around 1.5 lbs (700g), and measures about 8.8 inches (22cm) from crown to rump, but this varies from baby to baby. Your doctor should be able to hear your baby's heartbeat, using a stethoscope or Doppler ultrasound device. If your partner puts his ear right on your belly in the right position, he might even be able to hear it unaided if there is no background noise. Your baby sleeps and wakes in a more regular pattern now. You may notice that your baby is particularly active when you are resting. The center of your baby's bones are beginning to harden. If your baby is a boy, the testes will start to descend into the scrotum now. If your baby is a girl, the vagina will begin to hollow out and mature now. Your baby can make a fist now and may already have a preference for the right or left hand. With modern medical technology, your baby would have a chance to survive if it were born now. Ah! I really thought I posted this already! Anyways... here is last weeks baby bump
