25 Weeks

How Far Along: 25 Weeks, 3 days

Size of Baby: Rutabaga (whatever that is) or 1.5 pounds and 13 in long

Weight Gain: +11

Maternity Clothes: Still mixing

Gender: Boy

Movement: Yes. And the times of day he moves are becoming more set and steady. I can now tell when he is awake or not. I love feeling him!

Sleep: Decent. I occasionally wake up in a complete panic over things we need to do which is completely understandable considering that up until today we had yet to buy a single thing for the baby still. And yes, we are running out of time. We will get it all done eventually. I've always been a procrastinator but also a major planner which makes for an odd combination.

What I Miss: Nothing.

Cravings: Ice cream. Anything sweet. And cold. And also mint chocolate stuff. I might have bought some mint Oreos today and tore into them before I made it out of the parking lot. After already eating my weight in ice cream before going to the store.

Best Moment This Week: My doctor's appointment today. Even though I had the glucose test, it wasn't bad. Now just crossing my fingers I pass. Brian got to go with me today. He doesn't go to every appointment since they are usually quick and during the day and we hate for him to lose hours at work. But he went with me today and it was the first time he has heard the heart beat since the day we found out that we are having a boy so that's always fun. It was strong and steady at 156!

Oh and my appointments are every 3 weeks for the next 2 then every 2 then every 1. That makes me feel like we are getting so close! 

Looking Forward To: Cooler weather! The heat is killing me. And getting the nursery together. And my shower which is coming up next month! (Thanks Cora) :)

And on another note, I mentioned we bought our first baby related item today: The breast pump. Now I can mark one item off of my to do list that is about 7 pages long.

Also, I get told on a daily basis that I am not big enough or I need to gain more weight or "I was so much bigger than you at that point." Literally on a daily basis. So finally today I asked my doctor how I am measuring and he said I am right on track and measuring perfectly. So that put my mind at ease. 

The fact that I feel/see the baby moving so much makes me feel better usually but I still worry when I am CONSTANTLY hearing that I am not big enough. Then we laughed tonight after my ice cream/OREO binge because I looked huge and we thought Dr. Bell probably thought I was crazy for thinking I might be too small. Haha. However, I did go to the lab immediately after seeing him and the lady taking my blood said "You don't look big enough to be having this test yet." Seriously, I never stop getting told that. But the way I eat ice cream, I should be gaining more soon. Then I will probably be told I am too big. Ahhh pregnancy and the weight comments. :)
