Weekly Check-In: 25 Weeks

Stats:

How far along: 

25 weeks

How big is baby: Eggplant (seems more reasonable then a grapefruit)

Maybe you’re getting nervous about delivery, or maybe it’s your haywire hormones, but you might start to have trouble sleeping around week 25. This is a common complaint of many moms-to-be. Experiment with different strategies for getting some sleep.



Total weight gain:

+14.5 pounds (Probably more than that, but I don't like weighing myself at home)

Maternity clothes?

Yep!

Belly button in or out?

OUT!!!!

Sleep: 
Each night is different. Some days I fall asleep so quickly, others I toss and turn all night long. If I can just get into this one perfect position....it's lights out.

Best moment this week:

Getting her crib and mattress in the mail (I actually think it was delivered last week)... and even though it's not baby related: tax time :) *It actually is baby related because it means I get to get all her nursery stuff ordered next Wednesday (if it truly deposits like it says it's suppose to) which means that

Food cravings: 

Food....anything that has to do with food.

Food aversions: 

Carbonated drinks, everything else is fair game.

Symptoms: 

growing belling, food aversions/cravings, movement, fatigue, and swelling.

Movement: 

Tons of movement! All day long it seems like. Sometimes she is breech others she is head down. She does flips multiple times a day, it's crazy!

Gender: 

Miss Kellie Rain

What I'm looking forward to: 
Passing my GTT in 2 weeks; then will be starting every two week appt. here soon!!!! 15 weeks until my due date! I just want to snuggle her and I can't wait until Gabriel meets her.

What I miss: 

Not feeling so fat, being able to sleep better, and not feeling so worn out and lazy.

Milestones:

Hearing her heartbeat, starting to feel movement, finding out it's a healthy, but shy little girl; Viability Day!

Next appointment: 

February 16th @ 9:40am---My glucose appt.... I hope I pass!
