Week 25

How far along? 25 weeks 6 days

Total weight gain/loss: I should just totally do away with this question 🙂

How big is baby? Baby is the size of a head of Cauliflower. During month six, the average fetus measures about 13.6 inches to 14.8 inches and weighs about 1.5 to 2.5 lbs.

• She’s enjoying her new sense of equilibrium – she now knows which way is up and which is down.
• She’s growing more fat and hair too.

Maternity Clothes? Part of me wants to run into the bedroom right now and try on some of my prematernity clothes. But I’m too lazy to run. Ok so confess sesh, I actually had on a pair of regular jeans Wednesday night. (I wrote this on Wed afternoon). They dug into me but I got them on!!

Stretch Marks? I have the one on the right side, then there are some dots on the left side (2) and they’re starting to become more prominent.

Best moment this week? Getting to sleep in on Wednesday! I slept Sunday and Monday night but Monday and Tuesday I was exhausted so it was nice to sleep in on Wednesday. I woke up a little more refreshed.

Movement? I really think she likes to tap dance on my bladder.

Food Cravings/Aversions? Okay so I really like SWEET TARTS this week. OY! And I’m back to Chicken Sandwiches from Burger King, make sure it has the Mayo. The other thing is Limeades. YUM!

What I miss: Being able to get out of the chair easily. That and moving things without everyone yelling at me to not overdo it.

What I’m looking forward to: Getting my memory back. Please tell me it comes back, right?

Nausea/Vomiting? We’re good on this home front this week! I would be a bit better if I could shake this cold. We’re on week 8 of it. For the most part it is gone, it’s just a horrid cough (I actually got asked if I was a smoker) and extra snot.

Labor signs? Good heavens lets hope not, but would I really know what they were since this is my first baby?

Gender? We have had them verify it’s a girl 3 different times. Think it’s a girl?!?!

Belly Button in or out? Oh this week I cleared my throat and my belly button jumped out of my skin. I screamed, hubby got mad at me because he thought I was having contractions or something. It was a joyful night. (remember belly buttons freak me out anyway)

Wedding rings on or off? I’m still stubborn and haven’t given them up although I’ll probably have to very shortly :(.

Sleep? I’ve been sleeping minus the couple times I get up to go pee but I just can’t seem to get refreshed.

Weekly Wisdom: I’m not sure I have any. I think it went out the window with my memory.

Due Date: Thursday June 26, 2014 was what we originally thought. Then I was told June 30, then July 4th, then June 26, then June 27 and after the 3-D ultra sound June 28. I guess she’ll come when she’s ready, right?
