So I
am getting bigger and as I get bigger the waddle increases, the belly gets
tighter, and I start to feel like an over inflated balloon. I feel like it is a
little early in this pregnancy to feel this way, but I do have pregnancy brain
and rose colored glasses on when it comes to each pregnancy.
How
Far Along:
25
Weeks Pregnant {25 weeks 5 days}
Due
Date:
June
22nd, 2013
Boy
or girl:
Girl!
Bump
Picture:
I am getting bigger by the day and depending
on what I wear some days I feel like I look like the good year blimp. I know
this is not the case and I am not really huge {I am gaining the correct amount
of weight, so says the doctor.} I just feel
huge.
Baby Development:
Head to heel - Julia is now measures about 13 1/2 inches. Her
weight is about a pound and a half {think head of cauliflower}. She is beginning to exchange her long, lean
look for some baby fat. She's also growing more hair — and if you could see it,
you'd now be able to discern its color and texture.
Symptoms:
Aside from feeling huge I am really tired all the
time. Granted I am chasing around two little boys under the age of 4, but I am
more tired than what is typical for me for the second trimester.
Currently craving:
I am back on the spicy train. I am really
looking for food with a kick and I STILL have not had my taco fix from Stir
Crazy yet. I am also really wanting bagel and lox thanks to a fancy footed Social
Fabric friend of mine posting a picture of his breakfast… (TED!)
Currently
Avoiding:
I am
not avoiding anything right now.
Belly
button status:
In…
although we are getting kinda close here.
Movement:
She is still an early riser, but now we are
becoming more active in the middle of the night too. Not cool Julia… Not cool.
Name:
Julia
Any
appointments?:
I had my doctor’s appointment this week and I
scheduled my Glucose Test {Gestational Diabetes Test} for week 28, My next
appointment for week 29, and my follow up ultrasound for week 30.
The follow up ultrasound is to check on Julia’s
kidneys – as they were presenting rather on the larger side during my 20 week
appointment. I am not too worried about this as I went through the same thing
with my first born.
Any
baby related purchases?:
Umm…. I may have bought a couple
more little girl outfits… and some little socks. I need to get moving on the
nursery, but am having so much fun putting together design boards I am unable
to decide on one theme. That and I am waiting for the bunk beds we ordered for
Steven to come so we can transition him out of the crib and into his big boy room.
Other:
I cannot believe that I am just a couple
weeks away from being in my third trimester {starts at week 28}! At the doctor’s
office this week I received a folder filled with third trimester information as
well as wellness screening sheets for siblings to fill out for when my children
come visit me at the hospital. Oy! I am so not ready to think about that yet!
How long did you wait to have your nursery
ready for baby?
