Bumpdate - 25 Weeks

 
What's baby up to this week? She is the size of an ear of rutabaga, measuring 13.5" long and weighs one and a half pound. She is beginning to gain some baby fat, as this happens her wrinkled skin will smooth out and start to look more like a newborn. Her hair now has a discernible color and texture.

What's been going on with mom? Getting acoustumed to a new surrounding. We had to get used to a new bed and a whole new set of sleeping patterns. Were still working out the kinks, but we have been able to get some sleep. We have started walking our pup around the block, so that's upping my caloric burn for each day and I did a LOT of measuring for work this past week which means a lot of walking. We settled on a name for sure. We are waiting until after our 4D ultrasound this weekend to announce it though. Stay tuned!

Symptoms: The heartburn is getting annoying! I never know whats going to bring it on! It's really starting to annoy! Baby girl better have a full head of hair for all this suffering! The hip cramps have gone away, but I've stopped using the body pillow because it just won't fit in our bed. I keep getting tingling sensations in my hands and feet at random times. That's a new thing that's come about! Yay.

Yummy/Icky: The cheese craving came back full force. I had a grilled cheese that made me very sick to my stomach. I might need to stay away from the heavy/greasy foods.....even though it sounds amazing!!! I've been wanting fruit more which is good and have been trying to stay away from the sweets, which is hard cause its girl scout cookie season!

Clothing: Sill all maternity on the bottom. My v-necks are getting tight and I'm still working out how to work my existing wardrobe. The girls have grown some more, and they are huge! Which means new bras are probably in my future. I have officially grown larger than I have been EVER in this department.

Movement: Pretty much the same. Lots at certain times of the day. 6:30AM every morning we get a wiggle party. Right after lunch and finally when I settle in for the evening in my comfies and bed. Some days she's really rough and others its just light taps and rolling around.

Belly Button In/Out: In, seriously shallow when I lie down however. The belly no longer lies flat. Lol

Wedding Rings On/Off: On and spinning, but somedays I retain water and they get tight. I just drink a lot more water.

Best Moment this Week: We finally started our registries! It's so exciting, but exhausting all at the same time. Making the big time selections were very challenging, but we surpassed. Now it's time to get to all the small details.

Looking forward to: Our 4D ultrasound this weekend!!! So excited to see what she looks like!

Here's our chalkboard this week. If you'd like please follow me on Insta (dianekimball07) to get updates early!
