25 Weeks

I can't believe I'm already 25 weeks. It's flying by!

DATE:
April 25, 2011

How far along:
25 weeks!

Total Weight Gained:
I'm guessing I gained a few pounds back from all the weight I lost. I still have a while to go before I reach my pre-pregnancy weight.

How big is baby? Nugget is 13 1/2 inches long and weighs around 1 1/2 pounds.

How baby is growing: Nugget is beginning to exchange his/her long, lean look for some baby fat. He/She is also growing more hair — and if you could see it, you'd now be able to discern its color and texture. babycenter.com

Maternity Clothes: I'm still wearing my regular clothes, but I've been wearing some empire waist items to show off my belly more!

Sleep: I'm starting to wake up more frequently to use the bathroom, and a few times a night, I get woken up by braxton hick's contractions.

Best Pregnancy Moment of the Week:
Showing off my belly to my family. They finally believe there's a baby in there! Also, we've been putting new baby stuff around the house...new spoons in the kitchen drawer, baby wash and lotion in the bathroom closet, etc. It's starting to feel real!

Movement
: Nugget is constantly moving! Lots of tumbles, kicks, and punches!

Food Cravings: No cravings yet.

Food Aversions:
I'm still not a big fan of any food, but my appetite is bigger.

Morning Sickness:
Zofran is still a daily staple.

Gender:
We didn't find out!

Symptoms:
Strong and frequent Braxton Hick's contractions, nausea morning to night, gagging, vomiting, (TMI one-still extremely constipated thanks to the Zofran, Iron, and Prenatal Vitamin), and mood swings.

Exercise: Getting moderate exercise 4-5 days a week.

What I miss:
Feeling normal. I honestly forget what it's like to not feel sick!

What I'm looking forward to:
My 26 week appointment, and getting the glucose test (the following week) over with!

25 Week Picture:

I'm going to cheat, and post a picture that Grant took last night. When we got home, Nugget was curled up into a tight ball, and sticking straight out of my belly. It was so cute!
