What fruit are you: Rutabaga (1.5 lbs and 13.5" from head to heel)
How far along: 25 weeks 2 days
Next appointment: 5-6
Gender: still a surprise
Total weight gain/loss: 25 pounds so far. Visiting everyone at home and not being as active the weight crept up on me 😜
Exercise: now that I'm back in Florida I'm swimming more.
Stretch marks: no new ones.
Swelling: yes somewhat but I'm really focused on drinking a lot of fluids and not sitting or standing long periods of time. Also watching my salt intake.
Maternity clothes: yes. Still fitting some flowy non maternity dresses and shirts. Makes me feel good :)
Belly button: getting flatter each week.
Sleep: pretty good. Get up once maybe twice a night to use bathroom but I was able to finally catch up on some much needed sleep everyone was asleep by 8:15! Felt so good and I woke up at 7:10 so almost 11 hours of sleep! Felt so good!!!!
Food aversion/cravings: nausea is still there just not as bad. Still taking unisom at night to help and I notice if I don't take it still at this point in my pregnancy I dry heave a few times during the day and puke sometimes if I can't calm myself down. Loving both salty & sweet food but I had/have a goal to not gain more than 35-40 pounds so I'm really trying to eat more salads at least one a day of not twice. Trying to choose healthy options instead of just junk food. I haven't gained weight the last 3 weeks so that makes me happy that I'm trying to make good choices for both myself & thd baby. As far as aversions go, cucumbers, tomato anything, chocolate, popcorn all cause bad heartburn so limiting my consumption of them.
Symptoms: growing bump, nausea, heartburn is becoming a frequent visitor, increase sense of smell and with each pregnancy I've noticed my eye sight gets a little worse.
Movement: YES!!!!! Loving it so much! 💃🏃👯 feels like the baby is an aerobic instructor several times through the day!
Labor signs: none yet.
What I miss: sleeping flat on my back and not being tired in the afternoon.
What I am loving: how excited the kids are getting to meet their brother or sister. Each week we watch the video on What to Expect When Expecting. They love it and have been talking to the baby and they tell him/her that they love them! Melts this momma's heart!
What I am looking forward to: third trimester and finishing up my first year of homeschooling Nataleigh.
Best moment of the week: made a special meal for my honey Olive Garden inspired: salad, Chicken Gnocchi soup, bread sticks and strawberry pretzel salad. So good!!!
Milestones: almost to third trimester! Time is flying by!
News: at my last OB appt the baby was measuring a week ahead and the heart rate kept changing which I was very thankful for because if it was a consistent number I would analyze if it's a boy/girl and I truly want it to be a surprise so I'm thankful that this baby is very active!
Goals: kept eating healthy and get more exercise.
Weekly wisdom: enjoy each moment and have s good attitude!
That's all for now! Till next time!!
