How far along? 25 Weeks
How big is baby? About 13.5 inches in length and weighs 1 and half pounds. (My child already weighed in at 1.5 lbs last week per the U/S haha so she is probably a little plumper this week
Weight gain/loss? At last week's appointment I am up I believe it was 18lbs. Had a little extra amniotic fluid so I'll get another U/S at 7 months. My scale needs a new battery and I'm just plain too lazy to change it so I'll only go by the doctors scale.
Ok I almost shit myself ok...no lie. At my 5 month I was up 7lbs and at 6 month I was up a total of like 19lbs but I went to a different doctor on a different scale. I have a serious hard time believing that I gained 12lbs in a month. Yes my belly is far bigger and the babe did some serious gaining and I'm sure everything else did too but even Mr. B agrees that I haven't really gained weight in my legs or arms so belly and boobs don't make up 12lbs in a month. So I'm going to pay close attention when I go in for my 7 month at my normal doctors scale because I don't think it's that high.
Maternity clothes? Exclusively unless I have things that I can wear that are cute that aren't maternity. some and then just the dresses. I won some khaki capri's and a cute maternity shirt on Ebay and need to find another shirt or two to win
Stretchies? The boobs will forever be there I believe...the stomach ones can't really see which is good. just on the boobs boooooo
Sleep? Great until Ava wakes up crying at 5am and doesn't even want to go back down with us. getting worse. If I'm not up going to the bathroom literally 3 times in the middle of the night I'm constantly flipping from left to right and have 3 pillows trying to help me
Best moment this week? Getting Ali's comforter that I won on Ebay. It is perfect! Getting to another week and Uncle Ben coming to get the rest of the stuff out of Ava's room!
Movement? All.The.Time. seriously I think my girl may end up being a boxer! She is hitting/kicking/punching all over all the time. And she really dislikes it when I move from right to left on my side at night haha
Food cravings? Nothing out of the ordinary except Miracle Whip on sandwiches sounds so good. I've always preferred MW over Mayo anyways so that's nothing new, but I made my lunch last night and seriously wanted to make a sammy for last night and breakfast this morning haha I can't wait until I eat lunch. nothing out of the ordinary but soda which really sucks
Food aversions/foods that make me sick? Nothing! nothing really whoot
Gender? Another Girl GIRL!!!!!
Labor signs? None. Getting some intense Braxton Hicks but just a few times a day. none..I have been having a little tightness but honestly I don't know if it's Braxton Hicks or not.
Birth Prep? Just setting up our plans to everyone that thinks they have a plan for us and of course having to make sure not to hurt feelings. But I want Ava to go to daycare during the day to keep her routine unless Mr. B brings her to the hospital, and at night he will go home and have some time with her so she can have that familiarity as well as bonding with him for two days will help when I come home and can't just grab her and play either because of taking care of Ali or bedridden recovering from my section. I really want this to be a private family things for a couple of days with no visitors. And when visitors comes just keep it short. We had our hospital tour last week and I'm so excited about the location we have picked! I'm going to start my pre-natal yoga this week as well
An outer-innie? Oh half is out and it won't be long until the whole thing is...both
What I miss? Sleeping on my back or stomach. Since I breast fed up until like last week haha I have not slept on my stomach in almost 2 years and that sucks. sleeping, and honestly drinking
What I am looking forward to? Uncle Ben coming to get the guest room next weekend so we can finally get things organized in Ali's room and start patching holes and prepping for paint! Getting to do the little things in Ava's room this weekend and in about 2 weeks putting together her furniture!
Milestones? Every week is a great week. Viability Day was a great day but this week is just one step closer to her being able to really survive with no long term side effects
New things this week? Just a ton of movement from Ali. Can definitely see her movements from outside too. Ava is moving so much but last night I had my first lucid dream of the birth and what she looked like. And honestly after I was having it and had her she woke me up at 3:30 kicking the shit out of me which she's never up at 3:30...odd!
Weekly Wisdom? I haven't gotten any haha Honestly I really haven't gotten any but I'm starting to get tons of folks asking me when I'm due
Emotions? They are good...trying to be a calmer person haha Last week in check...this past week out of freaking check! Ugh it was a bad week but I think Mr. B and I have finally figured out how to handle it!
