25 Weeks

Well, I thought this was going to be a cute picture, but you cant see my sparkly New Years Eve shirt, and my hair looks like crap. But yes, the stomach really is THAT big. 

 

How far along: 25 Weeks! Finishing up the 5th month. woot woot! 

How big is the baby: So... Interesting story. We got a ultrasound today to check up on the babies kidneys. While there, she takes a bunch of measurements and the kid measures at 29 WEEKSSSSS. This kid is measuring about 3 weeks bigger then average. Needless to say, Ill be having a talk with my Dr about my concerns with a quickly growing baby in my little body... 

 

Total weight gain: From last week to this week I gained a couple pounds. BUT (wait, let me explain) it was because I was on antibiotics for a bladder infection and antibiotics make you retain water. So the Dr said that doesnt count! SCORE!

 

Stretch Marks: NOPE! the cocoa butter regiment is still once a day, but Im putting it on a little thicker now. I also use a belly wedge at night. I think that is helping with my stomach not saggy for a long period of time and causing stretch marks. 
 

Best moment of the week: Going back to the Dr and them telling me that the contractions have stopped, the antibiotics worked and babies heartbeat sounds good. It was a little scary last week. 

 

Worst moment of the week: So I mentioned I had a sharp pain the other week... come to find out it was a bladder infection causing contractions!! SCARY!! Contractions this early is NOT a good thing. So they put me on antibiotics and told me to take it really easy.
 

Symptoms: my butt is out of shape... walking up and down stairs is no bueno! 

 

Movement: Around 12 o'clock each day this kid, I swear to goodness is trying to preform some karate moves! He is punching and kicking me pretty hard for about an hour. Its ok though, he mostly sleeps the rest of the time. 

Have you started to show?: heck freaking yes. 

 

Gender: Team Blue
 

Labor Signs: Minus those scary irregular contractions, that I didnt really feel, and are now gone... NO

Belly Button In or Out: IN and hopefully staying in.

Wedding Rings On or Off: on :)

What I’m looking forward to: New Years Eve!! I do have to work at 8am tomorrow so I either see myself taking a nap very soon or not making it to midnight. HA. 

 

What I miss the most: Since it is New Years eve I do have to say that Champagne is on my mind, gotta love that Fizzy bubbly! Its so delicious, but not this year!
