25 weeks

 

 

 

 

 

how far along? 25 weeks

how are you measuring?  I'll find out tomorrow at my appt.

size of baby? 13 1/2 inches long, about 1 1/2 pounds, and about the same weight as a rutabaga.

heartbeat? 142 bpm (at our 20 1/2 week appointment)

total weight gain/loss? +23 lbs, been out of town - going out to eat for every meal for 2 weeks is NOT good. Really struggling over this right now. Totally stressing.

maternity clothes? Yes and I still love them! I can still wear some of my regular T-shirts that were getting too big before I was pregnant.
sleep? I've still got the same sleeping pattern I've had.  Only wake up when I turning from side to side and I am able to go right back to sleep.  Getting up once a night.

best moment this week? Jonathan was kicking up a storm one night so I had Jeromy put his hand on my belly and just stay for awhile.  He got to feel him kick over and over, that was pretty cool!

movement? He is moving a lot more this week! Not just in the evening and at night anymore, some during the day as well.  If I lay on my side, I can feel him moving around a lot.

food cravings? I've been giving in to too many cravings lately I guess....need to be eating better.  Seems like most of the women I know only gained 30 or less so I feel like I am going way overboard.  Then I read online about women gaining 70-90lbs and I don't feeel so bad, lol.  How is that possible?

gender predictions? It's a boy!

what i miss: I miss feeling like I look good in the mirror.  I  was getting used to looking slimmer for so long and it is really hard to watch it go back up.  Looking forward to afterward and I can go back to WW.

what i'm looking forward to: I think I'm finally ready to register this week! Looking forward to picking out lots of stuff for Jonathan!

how are you feeling? Feeling fine pregnancy wise. Still very thankful that I've had such a smooth pregnancy.  Emotionally, I don't feel great today because I know my doctor is going to mention my crazy weight gain from this past month. It's so hard not to gain a ton...I made better food choices, ate less, and worked out every day this past week and still managed to gain. ugh.
