So today we conclude the 24th week of pregnancy and skate right on into week 25. What does that mean exactly? Well, it means we are 60% through the baking process and our little bun is well on it's way to coming out of the oven. :)
I have to admit I'm kind of a junkie for those online "what week you're in, what's your baby doing now" websites. The problem is pregnancy counting is so confusing even they can't all agree what week I'm in. It depends on if you count from the last period or from conception and also if you're counting week completed or the current week you're in. FYI: There is a two week difference approx. between LMP and conception. Most places count from your LMP (last period) which technically makes you two weeks pregnant even before conception. It is incidentally how I chose to count mine as well (and it is how your doctor will count your pregnancy when you are in their office).
Most would think well still no problem - just look up the week pertaining to your development (i.e. I'm starting week 25 now so I should just look up week 25). The problem is if they have resynced their development calendar to their dates so their week 25 would be "my chosen counting methods" week 23. So when I read their week 25, I'm actually reading the baby's developments in what would be my method's week 27. See what I mean - it's maddening...
Anyway, it's still more or less fun and interesting. I just leave most of the "serious stuff" to my doctor and trust her advice above all. I also rely pretty heavily on this "day-to-day" pregnancy book from Andy's aunt and uncle which is by far my favourite book and from which I quote heavily on here.
So, with that said. Here is what's has been in accomplished in Bob's world this past week:

As always the obligatory bump shot will be here either later tonight or tomorrow.
All our very best,
Mommy & Bob
