25 Weeks

Pregnancy Highlights

How Far Along: 25 Weeks
Size of Baby: More than 1½ pounds and 9 inches in length.
Total Weight Gain/Loss: I have gained 10 pounds total.
Gender: Your guess is as good as ours!
Movement: All the time!  Derek was even able to feel the babe this week.  He had his hand on my belly and right when it kicked he pulled away – I think it must have scared him!
Sleep: Just dandy!
What I Miss: Mobility.  It’s getting more and more difficult to get in and out of the car and truck.  Derek used to joke that he was going to have to help me but now he really does.  Good thing he is willing!!
Cravings: Dairy Queen Blizzards.  We had them 2 nights this week.  Again, good thing my husband is willing to go and get them for me (I guess it doesn’t hurt that he got one for himself while he was there!)
Symptoms: I was slightly uncomfortable this week.  I think the babe was just going which meant that my belly had to grow too.  I’m sure this is just a phase and I will be just fine.  At any rate, I’ll take being uncomfortable if it means that our babe is packing on the pounds!
Best Moment This Week: Mom and Brian came in on Saturday and helped us do a ton of things around the house.  We (and I use that term very loosely) fixed the broken sump pump line in the front yard, we hung the new ceiling fan in the babe’s room and also hung a new light fixture in the front hall way.  My Uncle and Cousin were also able to come over and see our house!  All and all it was a great weekend full of lots of family and productivity!  Thanks so much Mom and Brian!!
What I'm Looking Forward To: We have another doctors appointment coming up next week.  I’ll be 26 weeks then so I have a glucose test.  After this appointment I will start going every 2 weeks instead of every 4-5 weeks.  That can only mean one things – our babe’s day is coming and coming fast!
