As Tippett made it to 25 weeks, his Daddy turned the big 3-0. We celebrated with a party at our favorite pub, Tyler’s Taproom, and had a great weekend. The weekend was also a beautiful weekend with highs in the 60’s. It ended up being such a nice weekend due to the weather, finally being over this cold, and celebrating not only Ben’s birthday, but my dad’s.
And yes this cold is almost gone! Somehow I survived the winter and flu season without a trace of sickness. Even as all of my coworkers came down with stomach bugs, seasonal flu, swine flu and colds, I never caught them. Until last week when it seemed I was the only one sick at first, then passed it on to everyone else. Now I’m feeling back to my normal (pregnant) self and very much looking forward to SPRING!
Head to heels, Tippett 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. Tipp is also growing more hair — and if you could see it, you'd now be able to discern its color and texture.
How far along? 25 weeks!
