25 Weeks!

How far along: 25 weeks. 

Baby is the size of:  Cauliflower. Ick. Let's get some fun fruits and veggies again.

Physical symptoms: I'm so tired. Also if I don't eat a banana before bed I get Charley Horses in one or both of my calves. Awesome.

Total Weight Gain/Loss: I don't want to know.

Maternity clothes: All the time.

Stretch marks: I've had some itchiness on my belly so it's only a matter of time now.
 
Sleep: What's sleep?

Best moment last week: Passing viability!
  
Movement: She loves to move. I'm trying to learn what jab is what body part. I'm pretty sure I've felt her actually roll around once. Once this kid learns to walk we don't stand a chance I'm afraid.

Food cravings: Always Lemonade.

Sex:  Girl!

Labor signs: Nope, nope, nope.

Belly button: It's just funny looking. I can tell it's getting more shallow, but not popped yet.

What I miss: Beer and wine. And sleep.



What I am looking forward to: 2 more weeks until 3rd tri! And am I a crazy person to be looking forward to my GD test? It just means I'm getting closer and closer.

Milestones: Every week is a milestone! It's been a pretty boring week milestone wise. ;)

24 Weeks!

I'm late. I suck. No excuses, but also no 23 week post.

How far along: 24 weeks. 

Baby is the size of:  An Ear of Corn. Yum. 

Physical symptoms: I've got reflux bad right now. Also sleep has been sucking lately.

Total Weight Gain/Loss: I was up 10 lbs in a month at last week's visit. Whoops.

Maternity clothes: Oh yeah, and I'm growing out of some of those.

Stretch marks: Nothing new yet, thankfully.
 
Sleep: *cries*

Best moment last week: More baby kicks! She's a kicking machine! Also S got some shelves up in the nursery.
  
Movement: Oh yes, all the time. It's okay to sleep sometimes, kid.

Food cravings: Lemonade, spinach/artichoke dip, raspberries and cereal. All the usual suspects.

Sex:  Still girl!

Labor signs: Please no.

Belly button: It's so weird looking, all flat and funny shaped.

What I miss: Sleep. Beer. It was St. Patrick's Day yesterday and all I wanted was a Guinness.



What I am looking forward to: 3 more weeks until 3rd trimester!

Milestones: I'm 24 weeks today!!! Viability Day!!! Woohoo! Keep growing though, baby! We aren't ready for you yet!

22 weeks

How far along: 22 weeks. 

Baby is the size of:  Spaghetti Squash, whatever the fuck that is.
Physical symptoms: Some pain near my belly button, back pain and dizziness. Week 22 is awesome.

Total Weight Gain/Loss: I don't want to know.

Maternity clothes: I don't think I'm ever wearing normal clothes again.

Stretch marks: Nothing new this week. Phew.
 
Sleep: I want more, damn it!

Best moment last week: I saw her kick from the outside today! That was trippy, man.
  
Movement: So much movement.

Food cravings: Fruit, still cereal, and pretty much anything sweet and bad for me.

Sex:  Girl!

Labor signs: No, no, no.

Belly button: I don't think it's going to pop. It's too deep.

What I miss: Right now, sleep.



What I am looking forward to: Just things to continue progressing well.

Milestones: Outside kick, also weaning myself from the Diclegis. It's going okay. I'm not sure if the dizziness is from that though.
