I've been crazy about reading pregnancy blogs lately and I've decided that I haven't posted nearly enough in mine to document this journey. I think I can be extra good about it for the second(ish) half of this pregnancy. So far, here's how it's going down:
How far along? 25 Weeks
Baby is the size of a: Rutabaga (which apparently is 13 1/2 inches long. Who knew.)
Total weight gain: 5 lbs. gained
Maternity clothes? officially abandoned the Bella Band and have made the jump into maternity pants - wish I had done this sooner! So comfy! I did buy an adorable belted maxi dress the other day and I can't wait for warm weather to wear it.
Stretch marks? none! Drinking LOTS of water has kept them at bay...for now...
Sleep: sleeping great again!
Best moment this week: picked out our glider! Can't wait for it to get here. The $ savvy hubs has convinced me to wait a few weeks to see if it goes on sale. It was very hard to leave Babies R Us without ordering it.
Miss Anything? sleeping on my stomach. I have been a stomach sleeper for my entire life. Before now I was so dang tired all the time I didn't care how I laid down just as long as I was getting to go to bed, but now not so much. I just want to get snuggly on my tummy again.
Movement: inconsistent at best, but something every day. Mostly jabs in the lower part of my stomach, but felt one up by my belly button the other day.
Food cravings: anything citrus or sour. I have been eating tangerines like crazy. Like 3-4 a day, along with a glass of orange juice every morning that goes away far too quickly.
Anything making you queasy or sick: all queasiness is still gone, but my whack-o sense of smell is coming back. The fridge is starting to smell horrible again like it did at the beginning of this pregnancy.
Gender: Girl
Symptoms: some lower back pain off and on, bathroom trips every hour to hour and a half, and popping hips every time I stand up
Belly Button in or out? in
Wedding rings on or off? on
Happy or Moody? Happy!
Looking forward to: the first shower coming up in a few weeks!
