25 Weeks

25 weeks (and 2 days 8/2)
Wow! Where did that belly come from? The belly is definitely getting harder to dress. Even some of my maternity shirts are too small. :/

My last Dr.'s appointment (7/21,23 weeks) went well. Baby girl's heartbeat was nice and strong and everything from my ultrasound looked great. Kinsley loves going to the doctor with me. I figured out it's because she gets a sucker every time. The next appointment will be pretty eventful. I will get my Rhogam shot (since I have O negative blood), do my glucose test and other lab work. I am not looking forward to the Rhogam shot! It burns so bad!

This week we got to meet the newest member of the family, Bennett! He is such a cutie. Kinsley and I got some good cuddles in while he was here. It was so fun to see how Kinsley interacted with Bennett. She wanted to hold him, gave him kisses, and sang to him a couple of times. She wanted him to jump on the trampoline with her....maybe next time. I think she is going to be a great big sister!

I'm going to have to get used to two kids on my lap!


How far along: 25 weeks
Total weight gain/loss: I gained 6 more pounds. That's 18 total *sigh*. The good news is I didn't double my weight!
Maternity clothes?: Yes. Do you see the shorts in the pic above? A friend let me borrow them! They are a little shorter than I normally wear but when it is hot I don't care!
Stretch marks?: Nothing
Sleep:  I was so tired this week. I felt like I could sleep all day! I have been making myself get up at 7 and do some kind of exercise which usually makes me feel more awake during the day.
Best moment this week: Getting to meet Bennett
Movement: Yup! There have been a couple of times where it almost tickles.
Food cravings: I can't make up my mind what I want. One minute I think I want Mexican, then I decide I want Chinese, then I think maybe I want pizza. Notice none of those options are healthy. :/
Gender: Girl! The bedroom has been at a standstill for the last week or two. I need to find where Chris put his motivation and give it back to him!
What I miss: Caffeine for these sleepy days.
Milestones: Passed 24 weeks- chances of survival are pretty good at this point. I'm not near ready so stay in there for a few more months baby!

From BabyCenter:
How your baby's growing
Head to heels, your baby now measures about 13 1/2 inches. Her weight — 1 1/2 pounds — isn't much more than an average rutabaga, but she's beginning to exchange her long, lean look for some baby fat. As she does, her wrinkled skin will begin to smooth out and she'll start to look more and more like a newborn. She's also growing more hair — and if you could see it, you'd now be able to discern its color and texture.
