25 Weeks

How far along: 25 weeks 

How big is baby: Different websites say different things, but BabyCenter says 13.5 inches long and 1.5 pounds. 

Gender: BOY!

Total weight gain/loss: Haven't been to the doctor in awhile - going on Monday - so who knows. Based on all the junk I have eaten recently, I would say a good amount :)

Maternity clothes: I need new jeans asap. Haha. Right now I cycle through a handful of the same shirts, just because they are so comfortable, so I am not dressing up too often. I wore one of my size small shirts while we were on vacation in Vegas and I literally thought we were going to have to cut it off - haha I learned my lesson. 

Stretch marks: Nope, BUT I just noticed I am getting that linea nigra thingy. Noooooooooo. 

Sleep: So tired all of the time. Lately, I haven't been able to fall asleep very well (or at all) and it is so frustrating. When we were in Vegas, one night I stayed awake till 6am because I literally was wide awake. It was awful! Especially because there was absolutely nothing good on TV at that time of day(night?). But I do like to take naps :)

Best moment this week: We are packing to move so nothing is fun currently :) I got some face wash from Lush while we were in Vegas that I am pretty stoked about though. 

Movement: Baby loves to kick. Now he just loves to kick/punch/headbutt my bladder so I have to pee soooo much. I feel like I leave the bathroom and already have to pee again. I can get him to move by poking my belly so that is weird because he actually responds to what I do. 

Food cravings: In n Out burgers with a strawberry shake & iceeeeee cold water. With a lot of ice. And more ice. Specifically crushed ice. I almost made Mike go get me ice from Sonic at midnight the other night. (and I just had my blood drawn and i'm not anemic). 

Anything making you queasy or sick: The smell of Mike's body wash ICK! The smell has never bothered me before until this past week. It is literally nauseating. I'll make him close the bathroom door after he showers because it kills me. 

Have you started to show yet: Yep! I think I was the only pregnant lady in Vegas - people stared at me like I had a third leg. 

Belly Button in or out: In.

Miss Anything: Again, not having to pee so much. Also, fun stuff, because everyone is always like "hey, we should do this - oh wait you can't cause you're pregnant" UGH. I wanna go ride a roller coaster while eating sushi and drinking a route 44 Coke and then go get in the hot tub -_-

Looking forward to: Mike bought me a facial for our anniversary that I am excited to go get soon!

22 Weeks

How far along: 22 weeks and 3 days

How big is baby: 11 inches and 1 lb

Gender: BOY!

Total weight gain/loss: +4 lbs at my last doctor's appointment. 

Maternity clothes: Still going strong with my regular jeans! Wearing a lot of skirts now because it is more comfortable. I can still wear the majority of my shirts. 

Stretch marks: No new ones. 

Sleep: It is average. I am tired all of the time!!! I am starting to wake up really early every morning which is annoying - but most of the time I can fall back asleep. I just wanna sleep as much as baby is right now!

Best moment this week: Seeing my nephew Parker who I haven't seen since he was two days old! Also, when my baby kicked I actually saw my stomach move this week. Sooo weird, but oddly cool. 

Movement: Kicks all night long and now I feel them during the day. He looooves to kick momma! Maybe we have a future soccer player on our hands. 

Food cravings: Grapefruits, grapefruits, grapefruits! I cannot get enough. Mike bought like 10lbs of them at the store a couple of days ago because I eat at least 3 a day.  

Anything making you queasy or sick: No not really!

Have you started to show yet: My belly has definitely popped! 

Belly Button in or out: In.

Miss Anything: I'm getting slower and it's annoying to bend down sometimes for stuff I have dropped haha. 

Looking forward to: My family is coming into town tomorrow for a whole week!
