6 Months and Counting

Dear Spencer,

Happy 25 weeks, buddy! Here is your update:

Head to heels, your baby now measures about 13 1/2 inches. His weight — a pound and a half — isn't much more than an average rutabaga, but he's beginning to exchange his long, lean look for some baby fat. As he does, his wrinkled skin will begin to smooth out and he'll start to look more and more like a newborn. He's also growing more hair — and if you could see it, you'd now be able to discern its color and texture.

Would you look at that? You're getting fat and growing hair! It's nice to see that pregnancy is now working the same wonders on you, that it is on me.

Next week - 80%-90% viability! Keep growing little one!

Love,

Mom
