25 weeks

How far along: 25 weeks 


Total weight gain: 17 lbs

Maternity clothes: I bought my first nursing bra, but other than that I haven't bought anything. I got some for my birthday, and someone from church borrowed me some of their clothes. :) 


Best moment of the week: Hearing people think that my baby bump is cute, and that I am adorable pregnant. :) 


Food cravings: none this week

Food aversions: nothing


Symptoms: 
boobs sore- still there, way less prevelant though- however my nips are super sensitive, its annoying! LOL
cramps- that could be growing pains, round ligament pain, etc. My midwife wasn't concerned with it. And that is all that matters.
tiredness-I get tired easily, but thats about it.
irritability- back to normal. :)
acne- got 2 big zits again! Dang!
bloat- no
burning muscle pain in upper abdomen- nope!

Movement: I am feeling a lot more rolls and also felt her have hiccups!


Gender: Girl! 

What I’m looking forward to: I am touring the hospital tonight!  


What I miss: bending over with ease. :)

Next appt: ooh that reminds me I need to schedule them!

How big is baby:

Head to heels, your baby now measures about 13 1/2 inches. Her weight — a pound and a half — 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.

food journal- to end

Ok- So I feel like I am boring you guys with my food journals and I have found another outlet to track my food (babyfit.com) So I won't be posting my daily eatings here anymore. Also- my mid wife is pleased with where I am at with my weight gain, and said I don't need to worry about it at all. She of course added "unless you feel yourself overeating, then you don't want to do that, but if you are eating like you normally would, don't worry about the weight gain! That just added lots of relief for me, since I didn't start out anywhere near my ideal weight, and I am overweight, I was terrified of what the midwife would say to me, but she is pleased! :) yay!!

 I will continue to do random posts on my nutrition and how I am doing things. The desire to begin juicing and making smoothies have started up for me again! I am sure I will be posting some recipes and pictures on that too! :)

How big is baby:
Your baby's growing steadily, having gained about 4 ounces since last week. That puts him at just over a pound. Since he's almost a foot long (picture an ear of corn), he cuts a pretty lean figure at this point, but his body is filling out proportionally and he'll soon start to plump up. His brain is also growing quickly now, and his taste buds are continuing to develop. His lungs are developing "branches" of the respiratory "tree" as well as cells that produce surfactant, a substance that will help his air sacs inflate once he hits the outside world. His skin is still thin and translucent, but that will start to change soon.
