25 Weeks

In this picture I was 25 weeks and 1 day!

How far along: 25 weeks and 1 day (when I wrote this...I'm posting it at 25 weeks and 5 days, oops...thought I'd better quickly post it so I don't forget - also took a picture at 25 weeks and 1 day, but haven't uploaded it yet either - what a busy week!).

Size of baby: A bigger eggplant? 9.2 inches.

Total weight gain/loss: Up 2 pounds total now (well from my starting weight...I dropped remember? I just like to say 2 pounds, sounds better to me :D). 

Maternity clothes:  So once you answer this question yes, do I really need to answer it every week?

Movement:  Pretty sure it somersaulted and dive-bombed into my pelvic floor last night so that it's head down. I can't confirm, but it definitely did a somersault. The movements have also felt quite a bit different today and I can feel them up higher. I'm thinking it's been hanging out below my placenta and now it's kicking into my placenta and is a bit more dulled.

Sleep: Oh ugh. This is the part of pregnancy I dread. Where you body prepares you for a newborn. Also Alexys has decided to go through a sleep regression where she insists on being in my bed. But she's a bed hog so I leave and go in hers. Or on the couch. Either or makes for a rougher night. It has nothing to do with me physically. Just how it goes 'round this time.

Cravings: Nope. Not really. I've been eating a lot of frozen cranberries...but that's because they're in season. I have 5 bags in my freezer. I also really wanted to try this Hawaiian BBQ sauce from Target I saw on Pinterest that looked delicious. It was disgusting. How disappointing.

Symptoms: I'm not feeling good while I'm typing this. Not even a little bit good. So I probably shouldn't type anything, but I will. It's my blog and I'll whine if I want. I woke up with a sore throat, cold, and sore back and hips and shoulders from a bad sleep. Plus my eyes are all burning. And I'm grumpy and tired. Really tired. And I'm big and waddly. Hmph.

Best moment of the week: I changed this one today (at 25 weeks and 5 days) - of course it was Christmas morning with my family today :) So strange that next year I'll have an 8-month old to share in our Christmas morning with too. Bub was kicking away as Alexys opened presents this morning. Can't wait till you're here, little one xoxo
