25-Week Update
Wow! This week we hit the
25-week mark. It’s seriously crazy to think about. That means that in 15 short
weeks, our little lady will be considered full-term and ready to make her
dramatic debut into the world.
Aaahh! That’s just hard to
wrap my head around!
Flipper has been going
pretty crazy the last couple days! For the past couple months, I’ve mostly felt
her moving around on one side. I read that this is pretty normal for some
people, it all just depends on where the baby is hanging out. Well, over the
past couple days, she seems to have outgrown her little comfy corner because
she’s everywhere! Girlfriend is kicking all over the place all at once all of
the sudden. Not to get mushy, but I can’t believe how fast she’s growing
already! She was so tiny just a couple months ago (and still is, obviously),
but now big enough to jolt my stomach and reach all across my torso!
I’ve been taking some time
to just sit and watch my stomach as it bounces and jumps and lumps with her
jarring kicks and flips. It’s so surreal and fun to see. It feels like I’m
getting to know her, little by little. She’s such a fireball already, but
that’s really no surprise. J
I’ve developed more of a
sweet tooth than normal, but I still haven’t had any cravings. I get into
certain moods where only one food sounds good, but that’s pretty much normal
for me (unfortunately).
I’ve had an easier time
being awake lately, but I’m still so tired that I’m hardly productive.
(Annoying!)
Our last birth class is
this week! Eeee, can’t believe it’s almost over! Then we’ll be trying to take
some other classes over there for feeding and caring for a newborn. Fun!
The next doctor’s
appointment is coming up—I have to take the gestational diabetes test (YIKES).
Just after that, we’ll be in the THIRD TRIMESTER and going to the doctor every
two weeks!
And there’s still so much
to be done!
And I want some French
fries…

Baby's Size: Cauliflower, between 1.5 and 2.5 pounds!
Missing: Being able to lay
however I want to; knowing what fits; being able to eat like a normal person
(at least normal for me)

post specifically about names later, though. J So stay tuned!
