Weekly Updates:
How far along: 25 weeks
Baby’s size: Rutabega – Your baby rivals the average rutabaga in weight – about 1.5 pounds. (Length: 13.5 inches head to heel)
Sleep: Good and bad. Some nights I have been sleeping through the night and some I have just been to preoccupied to sleep soundly. This will probably go on for the next several weeks unfortunately.
Maternity Clothes: Yep. Loving the stretchy pants!
Food Cravings: No specific cravings this week.
Food Aversions: I am starting to be able to eat some spicy things, but it is still hit or miss.
Symptoms I have: Backaches due to baby kicking. And I have had an immense amount of pelvic pain. The OB says that it is just my pelvis realigning and loosening up. It hurts until I get into a specific position and then I can usually make it go away for awhile. 🙁
Doctor’s Appointment: 2 weeks – Midwife on 3/4
Movement: I get to feel Sprout on a regular basis now. I usually feel kicks after I eat and when I am sitting around. If I have been active for the day, then I realize I haven’t felt baby and try to sit around until I do.
Belly Button: Still an innie.
Gender: Team Yellow!
What I’m looking forward to: Getting to 30 weeks. 5 weeks to go! And being able to finally share some other news in our lives.
What I miss: Comfortable cuddling and hugging. It is getting to the point where my belly is just getting in my way and it is a little harder to cuddle with Darrell. I can’t even imagine how it will be when I get even bigger. =O
