25 Weeks - Aubrey





Pregnancy Highlights:

How Far Along: 25 weeks, 5 days

Size of baby:  about 13 1/2 inches long and about a pound and a half, not much more than an average rutabaga. (according to babycenter.com)  **where do they come up with the foods they compare the sizes to?  a rutabaga? ha!

Total Weight Gain/Loss: I've gained 15.5 lbs total as of my appointment at 23 weeks.

Maternity Clothes:  of course!  I had to buy maternity swimsuits for our beach vacation in two weeks....yikes.  That's all I have to say about that.

Gender: girl - Aubrey Lauren

Movement:  She has been a wiggle worm this week!  However, I don't think Rhett has felt her move in quite some time because she stops as soon as he puts his hand on my belly!

Sleep: Still having to get up to go to the bathroom several times a night, so I never really feel like I get a solid night's sleep anymore. Also, I just cannot get very comfortable at night now. I don't recall having this problem this early on with Caleb.

Symptoms: still mostly the same....having to pee all.the.time; some pressure/achiness, starving and having to snack more; some very mild reflux.  No more Braxton Hicks this week, though.

What I miss: right now, I am mostly missing being able to sleep on my back.

Cravings: still pretty much the same...any fruit, ice cream, other sweets, juice...probably why I gain so much weight! :)  also, peanut butter and jelly!

Best moment this week:  Aubrey has been moving a lot!

What I am looking forward to:  can't think of anything in particular going on this week...just trying to enjoy what's left of my time with just Caleb!
