Denise’s Baby Bump at 25 weeks
Posted on September 14, 2009 - by Bradley Hebdon
Here’s Denise at 25 weeks. As you can see her baby bump has grown, and so has the frequency and force of baby’s kicks!
Baby is about about a pound and a half in weight now and is about 13 1/2 inches long. Her hands are now fully developed and she spends most of her awake time groping around in the darkness and throwing the odd punch. Brain and nerve endings are developed enough now so that she can feel the sensation of touch.
Baby’s nostrils, which have been plugged up until now, are cleared out and she is practicing breathing through her nose.
The capillaries, the teeniest blood vessels, are now forming in her body, giving her formerly translucent skin a pink glow. The blood vessels in the lungs also developed this week — another step closer to getting ready for her first breath of fresh air!We’ll be doing another photo shoot in a few weeks, so stay tuned!
