25 Weeks (Baby Thrice)

Lila wanted to read to the baby.


How big is baby: According to my Baby Center email this week, Turn on the radio and sway to the music. With her sense of movement well developed by now, your baby can feel you dance. And now that she's more than 11 inches long and weighs just over a pound (about as much as a large mango), you may be able to see her squirm underneath your clothes.

Weight gain/loss: +1.5 lb from last week (weighed at doctor for total of 14lbs)

Stretch marks: None

Sleep: I really need to invest in a body pillow but do not want to spend $20+ on one.  Thankfully once I fall asleep I stay asleep.  I need to remember to not nap on the couch at 10pm!

Diet/cravings/aversions: Not really any this week

Symptoms: Heartburn/acid...yuck.  Tums were my new best friend

Exercise: Nope but we did walk a bit at the nature center this weekend and I could tell I overdid once we got home.  I need to remember when the doctor gives me the green light to be a little more active not to take that to mean I can do anything I want.

Gender: Still a surprise!  I still feel it is a boy and Lila has called the baby her brother.

Movement:  Lots of kicks and hiccups

The belly:  My sister took one look at me and goes "Wow you look really pregnant today!"  For fun I put on a pair of my non-maternity jeans and was happy to see that I could wear them you know if I didn't zip or try to button them.

Worries: Feeling better and better each week.  I have my doctors checking me all the time and my weekly bum shots so little Thrice can stay put.

What I'm loving: Feeling baby kicks, being halfway done with my shots, getting some good news about my maternity coverage
