How far along are you? 25 weeks
How I’m feeling: Had a bit of a scare this past weekend… lots of lower abdominal pain and a bit of cramping… plus some spotting. Went to the doctor though everything is GOOD! I’ve just been overdoing it a bit (moving, working out, riding in cars for 7 hours) and my belly is growing.
Total weight gain: I don’t like this… I’m up 15lbs.
Cool baby facts: Annabelle is learning to distinguish right side up from upside down. I feel that this is encouraging her to stand up straight and stomp on my private parts. Finger nails are growing. She also can have a bowel movement now… she’s getting ready for diaper explosions.
How big is baby? Eggplant or Acorn Squash?
Sleep: Still have my date with the potty around 3am and now I am waking up after weird dreams with random songs stuck in my head. It is hard to fall back asleep when you are singing…
Maternity Clothes: Loving my DiscoBelly Lil Sprout maternity t-shirt so much that I’ve worn it three times in the week since I got it.
Best moment this week: Finding out that everything was a-ok at the doctor’s office with me and baby A! Another good moment – the cashier at Target told me she wanted to take a picture of my baby bump because it was just “oh-so-cute.”
Movement: She literally kicks me in the butt. Then in the belly button. Then the ribs. Then the lady parts. I am not complaining though – her moving around inside of me is so incredible!
Food cravings: Sweets – which has become pretty much a constant craving this whole pregnancy.
Food aversions: Nada
Belly button in or out: Still working its way out.
What I miss: Sleep. Not having to go to the bathroom every 30 minutes. Not feeling dehydrated all day long.
What I’m looking forward to: My first baby shower this weekend!!!! Also, our appointment next Tuesday where we will have another ultrasound to check on Annabelle’s growth. I am not, however, looking forward to the Glucose Test at the same appointment.
Randoms: Heartburn and acid reflux are driving me wild. My prescription won’t even control it…. I saw my butt in the mirror while changing and thought Kim Kardashian snuck in my bedroom.
super cute!!! she is getting so big!
I am having my Glucose test on Tuesday too! Sweets are a craving for me also. In fact, I really don’t eat much dinner because I am so excited about eating a bowl of cereal as my late night snack. lol.
OMG I feel like my butt looks like Kim K too!!! Hahahaha…I never knew my ass could get so big!!! My dr’s office makes you do a glucose test at 12 weeks then again at 28. It really wasn’t as bad as people make it out to be. I am sure the 3 hour one sucks though!
I laughed at your Kim K comment. Just yesterday I was like “What is all that hanging out of the bottom of my underwear… OH..” apparently I’ve acquired some junk in the trunk!
Love the beach bump pics! The glucose test isn’t so bad. You’ll be fine.
You look perfect!!
And I agree – the glucose test isn’t all that bad (especially because you have been craving sweets… you should be good to go!)
Take it easy now lovely lady!
Love the beach bump pictures. Too cute!!
Your belly is so cute.
I would look like a blimp next to you and I’m 5 weeks behind you.
Can I give you unsolicited advice on the glucose test? I’m going to anyway. 😉 Unless your doctor says otherwise, eat a high-protein breakfast beforehand and take a protein rich snack for just after. It’ll keep your blood sugar from crashing. I did NOT do this and ended up with a terrible headache the rest of the day. 🙂
I am glad that all is well with you and the baby! 🙂 Your bump is super cute!
What a cute bump, glad to hear you are doing better!
