Another update: 24-27 Weeks!

Here's how Baby Girl and I have been progressing in the last few weeks.


Pregnancy Highlights:

(Please ignore my crazy hair in this picture. I'm not sure what that was all about).

How Far Along: 24 Weeks!

Size of baby: The size of an ear of corn.

Total Weight Gain/Loss: Gained 15 lbs

Maternity Clothes: I wear maternity jeans and pants, but I can still wear a few regular shirts depending on how long they are, and I also have some maternity shirts.

Gender: It’s a GIRL!!!

Movement: Her movements are definitely getting more and more noticeable. I can watch my belly move when she kicks now!

Sleep: Every now and then I have a night where I have to get up to go to the bathroom, but that’s about it. Occasionally, I have crazy dreams that wake me up.

What I miss: Nothing really.

Cravings: I'm just hungry - I don't have specific cravings.

Symptoms: I’ve started feeling a little more uncomfortable every now and then.

Best Moment this week: Watching my belly move when she kicks hard enough!



Pregnancy Highlights:

How Far Along: 25 Weeks!

Size of baby: The length of a recorder that you played in elementary school…or a rutabaga (but I have no idea how big those are).

Total Weight Gain/Loss: Gained 16 lbs

Maternity Clothes: I wear maternity jeans and pants, but I can still wear a few regular shirts depending on how long they are, and I also have some maternity shirts.

Gender: It’s a GIRL!!!

Movement: I absolutely love feeling her kick me. I don’t think I’ve noticed her doing somersaults or anything crazy, but maybe I have and didn’t know.

Sleep: Every now and then I have a night where I have to get up to go to the bathroom, but that’s about it. Occasionally, I have crazy dreams that wake me up.

What I miss: Nothing really.

Cravings: I'm just hungry - I don't have specific cravings.

Symptoms: I’ve started feeling a little more uncomfortable every now and then, but nothing too bad.

Best Moment this week: Painting the nursery, and having another good doctor’s appointment! I haven’t heard anything negative about my glucose test…so hopefully I passed!



Pregnancy Highlights:

How Far Along: 26 Weeks!

Size of baby: The length of a burp cloth…or the length of an English cucumber.

Total Weight Gain/Loss: Gained 17 lbs – I thought for sure I would have gained 5 lbs last week because of Thanksgiving, but I didn’t. I am still on the 1 lb per week track, which is where I am supposed to be. Yay!

Maternity Clothes: I wear maternity jeans and pants, but I can still wear a few regular shirts depending on how long they are, and I also have some maternity shirts.

Gender: It’s a GIRL!!!

Movement: Sometimes I think she likes messing with her Daddy. Sometimes when Tanner wants to feel her kick, she stops, even if she has been kicking like crazy. However, one night this week he had his arm around my belly and she immediately started kicking him repeatedly. Apparently, she was not a fan of his arm being there.

Sleep: Every now and then I have a night where I have to get up to go to the bathroom, but that’s about it. Occasionally, I have crazy dreams that wake me up.

What I miss: Nothing really.

Cravings: I'm just hungry - I don't have specific cravings.

Symptoms: I’ve started feeling a little more uncomfortable every now and then, but nothing too bad.

Best Moment this week: Thanksgiving and her being very active throughout this week!



Pregnancy Highlights:

How Far Along: 27 Weeks! Time is flying by!!!

Size of baby: She is probably close to 2 lbs and 15 inches or so. Apparently, that is about the size of a head of cauliflower.

Total Weight Gain/Loss: Gained 18 or 19 lbs

Maternity Clothes: I wear maternity jeans and pants, but I can still wear a few regular shirts depending on how long they are, and I also have some maternity shirts.

Gender: It’s a GIRL!!!

Movement: She is very active. Her most active times are mid-afternoon and at night when we are watching tv.

Sleep: Every now and then I have a night where I have to get up to go to the bathroom, but that’s about it. Occasionally, I have crazy dreams that wake me up.

What I miss: Nothing really.

Cravings: I'm just hungry - I don't have specific cravings.

Symptoms: I’ve started feeling a little more uncomfortable every now and then, but nothing too bad.

Best Moment this week: Continuing to work on the nursery and continuing to feel my baby girl moving inside of me!
