25 Weeks!

How Far Along: 25 Weeks!!

Total Weight Gain/Loss: Up 9 pounds as of my last appointment.

Movement: Definitely feeling it more.  I can tell now they sleep during the day and are more awake in the morning and at night.  Our son is a morning person and our daughter is a night owl. 

Sleep: The hip pain is still there in the wee hours of the morning it kicks in. Thankfully I am able to reposition myself and fall right back to sleep.

Gender: A boy and a girl!!!

Symptoms: Fatigue, round ligament pain/cramping, stuffiness, hip pain.

Cravings: Sweets and just food in general.

Freak-out of the Week: No freak-outs! Just happy to feel them moving around – it keeps me calm.

Looking Forward To: My shower – it’s this Saturday and I am so excited for it.  But more excited to clear out the guest room and transition it into the nursery.

Next Appointment: April 25^th I have an appointment with the OB for a wellness check. Next growth ultrasound is May 8^th.

Miscellaneous: Childbirth class is going great.  One more week of that.  My new hearing aids are a blessing.  J

 25 Weeks - You’re 25 weeks pregnant and it’s probably dawned on you that soon you’ll actually have to deliver this baby. (A little scary, but exciting!) What’s cool is that most hospitals will let you preregister, which means you can put in your paperwork early, so the day you go into labor, you don’t have to stand around filling out a bunch of forms before you get admitted. Maybe you’re getting nervous about delivery, or maybe it’s your haywire hormones, but you might start to have trouble sleeping around week 25. This is a common complaint of many moms-to-be. Some people will tell you that’s just your body’s way of prepping you for sleepless nights with baby, but those comments won’t help you get the rest you need! Experiment with different strategies for getting some sleep. One idea is to drink extra water early in the day, so you can start tapering off your intake as you get closer to bedtime. That way, you might need less bathroom breaks during the night and can keep sleeping. After all, now that baby’s crowding your bladder, you’ve got to pee. A lot.

During month six, the average fetus measures about 13.6 inches to 14.8 inches and weighs about 1.5 to 2.5 pounds.

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 more hair too!  (Information from TheBump.com)
