twenty-five weeks and pumpkins

Lindsay and I start our Childbirth Prep Class tonight. Every Wednesday evening until the middle of December. I look forward to it. It should be fun to meet new people and to get a better idea what to expect in the coming months.

We also have our annual Pumpkin Carving party this Saturday. We've invited all our friends and close family over to carve pumpkins, win prizes and eat spaghetti.

Now for the twenty-five week update on Alec:
Head to heels, your Alec now measures about 13 1/2 inches. His weight — a pound and a half — doesn't sound like much, but he's beginning to exchange his long, lean look for some baby fat. As he does, his wrinkled skin will begin to smooth out and he'll start to look more and more like a newborn. His hair is probably recognizable now (in color and texture), although both may change after he's born.
