How Far Along: 25 Weeks
Total Weight Gain/Loss: Gained 8 lbs.
Maternity Clothes: I mostly wear maternity pants now, but can still fit into normal things with a bella band. I switch back and forth. I always wear normal tops still.
Gender: Girl! We can't wait to meet our sweet Baby Grace!
Movement: Movement is consistent and strong! I definitely underestimated her strength at the beginning. As she is growing she is becoming a VERY strong kicker. We can now see her move from the outside! I feel like it's early to see this. She is still very active between 8 and 9 and night.
Sleep: No complaints.
What I miss: Nothing really, things are going really well. I have hit a really easy stretch :o) and time is just flying by!
Cravings: Umm everything? Does that count? I eat a lot, and I think Grace loves pizza. This is not how things went with Joey and I'm afraid I'll regret it at the end of pregnancy.
Symptoms: Lots of strong kicks! Sometimes they really hurt. I get very hungry easily and feel myself getting winded when I know I shouldn't be. Sometimes I feel like I might have high blood pressure.. my cheeks get flushed and I feel light headed. I'm not sure if it's anything or not.
Best Moment this week: We had family pictures done this week and Joe and I went for a 4-D ultrasound for Grace at the same place we went for Joey. Grace was very stubborn and didn't want to show her face at all. She acted shy for the nearly the whole first hour we were there but we did eventually get to see her face a little.
