You asked for it, so here's the belly update for week 25.
Webmd.com and kidshealth.org says:
Your developing baby now measures about 8.8 inches from crown to rump and weighs 1.5 pounds. Skin now becomes opaque instead of transparent. Its body is still covered with folds like a puppy dog that need to grow into its skin. Heartbeat can be heard through a stethoscope or, depending on the position of the baby, by others putting an ear against your belly. You may notice that your baby has resting and alert periods. You'll notice fetal activity more readily when you are more sedentary. Your baby's hearing has continued to develop, too — he or she may now be able to hear your voice!
I've read that the baby can start to hear, as you know, so I've been playing lots of good music, including Mozart, Nina Simone, Dixie Chicks, Edith Piaf, Bob Dylan and Angelique Kidjo. My big belly headphones connected to my iPod are getting a workout.
By the way, your playlists are welcome.

You look great, Jen! Good choices on the music...I love Angelique Kidjo! She performed here at Earlham last year, and it was an amazing show. Perhaps you should add Allison Krauss and Union Station to the mix? Hope all is well with you and Patrick.
Thanks for the suggestions, Jen. And big congrats on your wedding. Did you post any photos on your wedding blog? If so, please resend the blog address. I'd love to see them.
Thanks! Everything with the wedding went wonderfully, and it was a beautiful day. Our blog is brianandjengethitched -dot-blogspot - dot - com. (The name is a little cheeky on purpose.) There are a few photos posted there, along with a link to our photographer's photos (which are great!). Thanks for asking!
