My Pregnancy Journal for Baby #2: Week 25

Baby at 25th Weeks:

Baby BOY is as big as a Cauliflower!

Baby boy's enjoying his NEW sense of equilibrium. He now knows which way is up and which is down. He's growing more hair too!

I didn't take a pregnancy selfie at 25 weeks, but here is a pic of the family!

My Symptoms: Pregnancy insomnia kicked in this past weekend... or it was from all the stress I'd been experiencing (but I just blamed it on the pregnancy). Got my first kankles this past weekend... omg my feet hurt so badly and my ankles swelled like no other! Acid reflux, BUT now I have Zantac so all is well with that :D I'm worn out. I got Braxton HIcks this past weekend (probably from stress since I only felt them for two days and haven't since) and felt extremely dizzy and basically miserable. I've never felt like that and I'm hoping all the stress, anger, and frustration I felt didn't effect this little baby boy :(

Maternity clothes? Yes

Sleep? Ha! Well, preggo insomnia only lasted 2 nights so far so I guess sleep is fine... except the using the restroom a lot at night. Still thankful for my body pillow.

Best moment last week? Easter! Great to be with family and Agnes had a blast looking for eggs and stealing everyone's candy :P

Movement? A lot!!

Weight Gain: Last weigh in was 149 lbs. We shall see this coming week what it is...

Cravings: Yesterday I was craving hamburgers... We went to my In-laws for dinner and they grilled hamburgers!!! I love them :D

Food Aversions: Still Cilantro and Basil. I guess a lot of the common spices like Oregano, Cumin, Parsley, etc. are on my list of aversions. 

What made me cry this week: Lots of things... this week was not a good one. Maybe the worst I've ever experienced. But we move on and things get better :)

Medical Stuff: When I get to 26 weeks, I get my glucose testing done. Also see about those Braxton Hicks contractions.

Something I am excited about: I'm now getting more and more excited/ nervous about welcoming this little boy. Still so much to do. We have no clothes for him and Agnes still needs to transition out of the crib and into a big girl bed. BUT I will say that I am excited to visit Colorado for his Baptism :D
