25 WeEkS

finally it feels as if time is somewhat going by faster...we are already into NOVEMBER! can i get a hallelujah?! holy cow i feel like i have been pregnant for well...FOREVER...it is getting so bad i dont even remember what it is like not to be pregnant anymore. -i am sure that has something with pregnancy brain. along with pregnancy brain as being a major symptom that i have been experiencing i am growing more than ever...i literally feel like i woke up one day & i had this huge belly! my clothes are all getting a lil too snug for me...my jeans are barely doing up anymore if at all, i am pretty sure you can call getting jeans over my butt a workout in itself. so yes, i am feeling rather "porky" & exhausted from the lack of sleep my body seems to be getting.

25 weeks!

 

total weight gain: 15 pounds

maternity clothes: pretty much...i bought a black pencil skirt for church & a black maxi dress that are both maternity from ((ASOS)) my jeans still fit if they are low enough & my shirts are getting to the point where they dont really cover my belly anymore...i am seriously the most stylish pregnant lady ever i must tell you! ((JOKES))

stretch marks?: not yet...i have a feeling i will get them though even with all the coco butter that i lather on each day ((2 times a day)) & all the water i am drinking. still praying that i dont though!!

sleep: i wake up every hour to go to the bathroom, if i try & hold it a min over that my stomach starts giving me the worst cramps in my life! dreaming is terrible these days. i have the worst nightmares that feel so real that i will be bawling & then wake up & not know what is reality. needless to say, sleep is terrible.

best moment this week: people are finally able to tell i am pregnant & are asking "when are you due?" or "are you sure you should be working out that hard?" i am just happy i am not being looked at like "wow! that girl is huge!" cause that is how i am feeling.

missing anything: my body not hurting...i am getting really bad back pains & have been having random contractions throughout the week. pregnancy takes a huge toll on your body!

movement: ALL THE TIME...this girl is such a mover! i can tell she recognizes jakes voice already & knows when he is touching my belly to say hi. she starts squirming a lil more, it is pretty cute. this week we used a flash light & ran it around my belly to see if she would go after it....she kept kicking/punching it. she is going to be a lil ball of energy!

food cravings: celery has been a big one...i love it plain. also apples, string cheese, & crackers were a big craving this week

anything making you sick?: morning sickness still on & off...i am dependent on my zofran

are you showing?: YES...i cant believe i am going to get bigger than i already am, but i know i will!

gender: GIRL- baby made a lil switcherooo on us...thank goodness we found out now & not when she was born. i am still buying a lot of gender neutral things though, you never know! 

labor signs: yes...which is common according to my doctor

belly button in or out?: i have a full on outie...it kinda creeps me out & i am a lil embarrassed of it

wedding rings on or off?: on

happy or moody most of the time: happy! i am just excited to have this lil one...i am over the whole pregnancy journey

looking forward to: brighton being here! february cant come soon enough
