25 weeks

12-23-11

Size of baby: 1.5 pounds, 13.5 inches (a rutabaga)

Total Weight Gain/Loss:  +4 pounds…still I’m waiting to start gaining some weight. I’m eating just not gaining. Hmph. I’m gonna ask my doctor about it when we go in January. Not that I’m complaining just want to make sure I am doing everything I’m supposed too.

Maternity Clothes: yeah about that… I was still wearing my regular tops but then realized I am totally stretching them out and then when I’m not pregnant anymore they will all be stretched out. I have opted for sweat pants & big tshirts since I am off of work for Christmas break. My cousin is going to let me borrow her maternity clothes. I’m hoping they fit- she is SUPER SUPER tiny! I’m good on pants- still need some shirts though.

Gender:

 

Movement: all the time. I’ve started noticing he moves according to what is going on. Like when Pip barks when its been really quiet, he kicks (like he is startled). Or when Justin comes home and he hasn’t heard his voice all day- he moves. Or when I sing to him- Jusitn thinks he is kicking as in MOM STOP! I think he likes it. : ) I also think he is moving up & down now as well- not just side to side.

Sleep: Still not able to get comfortable but I’m sleeping non the less.

What I miss: having regular energy, not having to eat so often, sleeping soundly and on my back/tummy

Cravings: crushed ice, fruit/juice, & smoothies

Symptoms: tired, back pain, peeing all the time, feet swelling (my shoes don’t fit properly some days)

Big News this week: We had our last Christmas as just the two of us (and really it already is the three of us). Daddy bought Mommy a pearl ring to represent you and the two of us. Mom started nesting and it totally stresses her out.

Here is Week 25: (we were in Kingwood for Christmas so the photos don’t match the rest- we had to take them in front of my parents fireplace & I am not looking too hot)
