Anatomy Of A Pregnant Lady

25 Weeks

Things are moving along quite nicely in my pregnancy. I'm 25 weeks today, which means I only have 15 more weeks to go! I haven't updated my blog recently because I don't feel like I have much to say these days. I guess that's a good thing because it means all is well in Baby Land. The only thing that has really developed since my last post is fetal movement. Baby Vince is a kicking monkey! I can now differentiate between his kicks and punches. And he rolls around a lot. My belly is really starting to stick out a lot too, and you can see his movements very clearly from the outside.

I came across an interesting sketch today on one of these pregnancy blogs that I follow. It gives a quick anatomy lesson of a pregnant lady, and it really put things into perspective for me. While my baby is nowhere near this size just yet, it still explains why I have the sudden urge to pee when Baby V feels like he's riding low, and it explains why I'm constantly out of breath and feel so full after a few small bites of food.

Also, I've started lining up my maternity leave at work, and realized how much it sucks to have a baby in America when you're a working woman. After looking into how other countries handle it, I decided I'm moving to Sweden. Or Germany.
