Our little guy now weighs as much as the average rutabega (sp?), or about a pound and a half. I am weighing more as well…the other day I was at the gym and a woman said to me in the locker room, “I just realized you’re pregnant!” Now, this is a comment I avoid making at all costs until the woman herself mentions being pregnant, but since I am, it doesn’t bother me at all. I am looking forward to Christmas, it’s time to get out the decorations, not to mention buy a tree. My in-laws will come to visit us from Michigan for Christmas, which is always a lot of fun (and also a lot of good food). The only downside will be not having much time off work, because I’m hoarding vacation time for March. But I’ll get a nice long weekend for Christmas, as I am taking the 26th off (thank goodness for floating holidays). I’m hoping to get some good knitting time over the holiday, as I need to finish the baby blanket before the baby arrives. I hold no delusions that I’ll be doing much knitting for a while after he is here!

Here’s the offical 25 week picture. After uploading it, I notice that my pants are doing something funky in the rear there. I promise they don’t look this way normally, I think it’s from adjusting them for the picture.
