25 weeks

 

How Far Along? 25 weeks and 1 day

Baby Size: I think it's an eggplant?

Total Weight Gain: Okay, so the other day it looks like I've gained about 7 lbs in a month... but I'll find out for sure on Wednesday. (If it's right, then I'm already up 20lbs... scary...)

Maternity Clothes: Are the best. I'm really enjoying dresses these days.

Stretch Marks:  None yet that I see...

Best moment this week: Seeing my baby girl... and the other night when she really put on a show for us! It was so weird to watch my belly roll and pop and wiggle so much! It's freakish and sweet all at the same time. :)

Miss Anything? Steamed Oysters. Ham and Cheese Sandwiches.

Movement: Boy can she move!

Food Cravings: Sweet - all the time with the sweet!

Anything making you queasy or sick: Greasy and salty foods do not appeal to me AT ALL now.

Started to show yet? After I got dressed for work on Friday, I looked in the mirror and thought: "Man, from the front I don't look pregnant! Go me!" For the rest of the day, I would proceed to run into people who commented they could definitely tell I was pregnant by my large, protruding belly.

Gender: Girl!

Belly Button in or out? It's an innie/flattie/outie??

Wedding Rings on or off? On

Weird Pregnancy Stuff? Nothing too strange right now. Just tired and hungry. The fat feeling and ugly days seem to be becoming more and more frequently. It's hard to make myself get up and do my hair and make-up, but if I don't I feel like a toad.

 

Oh, the breathing thing is getting more difficult... and happens at random. It's like I can't quite get enough air. Guessing this is the part where she's squishing my lungs up. Oh well, I've learned that a warm bath and stretching out on the bed pretty much cures a lot. (Except for heartburn. It does not cure heartburn. So maybe adding a couple of tums and lying in a propped up position would make that scenario more accurate.)

 

Looking forward to: Next doctors appointment. Sort of. I'm having the whole glucose test done... at 8:35 in the morning... and I'm not allowed any sweets... (an egg and plain toast or plain cheerios and 2% milk are my options for breakfast.) Heck, they told me not to even brush my teeth! Y'all pray I pass this thing...

 

That whole "nesting" thing. I know time is running short, but I'm too stinking tired to get up and clean.

 

2 more weeks till the 3rd Trimester!!

 

Also, call me a dork, but totally waiting on the Duchess of Cambridge to go into labor! I can't help it! They seem like such nice people and she's so darn pretty and stylish! I'm happy for them!
