25 Weeks
According to Baby Center, our little one is about 13.5 inches and about a pound and a half by now. I read somewhere (I can't remember where) that we can start trying to interact with our little one this week. Supposedly, if I poke back when he kicks me, he may respond to that. He may also turn his head to follow a light if we shine one on my belly.
We painted the nursery this weekend. Actually, Cat is still in there finishing up as I type this. Once we get it all put together, we'll post some pictures. I'm really happy with how it looks.
Last week I hired the consultant who will backfill for me when I'm out. He starts tomorrow. We wanted him to start early so we can be sure he is up to speed on everything before I go. I'm hoping to work up until at least two weeks before the baby is due, but I want all my transition work to be done before then because it is hard to tell when I'll have to go out. We can also use the extra help now because we are trying to finish up a HUGE project by July. That poor guy has no idea what he is in for!
