Pregnancy Update: 25 1/2 Weeks

*Baby Claire's Profile*   

*Baby Claire's face* 

 

How far along? 25 and a half weeks (the picture of me above was taken at exactly 25 weeks though)

How big is baby? About the size of a squash (13 1/2 inches) and weighs about a pound and a half.
Maternity clothes? Yes mixed with regular clothes.  I'm still mostly wearing regular shirts and lots of leggings.
Stretch marks? Nope, still nothing yet.

Sleep: I've been sleeping pretty good the past couple weeks but I'm still tired all the time.  I guess that just comes with the territory of pregnancy.

Best moment of the week? Having my target ultrasound yesterday!  It was so amazing.  We got to see our baby girl on the ultrasound for an entire hour.  She is growing perfectly and right on track for her due date.  I was relieved to learn that everything is functioning the way it should be and there are no abnormalities.  We even got a few 3d pictures of her face.  I know ultrasounds always look weird and alienish, but when it is your own baby they look adorable!

Food cravings? Reeses and Costa Vida.

Symptoms? Still lots of heartburn and like I already mentioned earlier I'm still really tired.  The weirdest thing happened this morning though, I had morning sickness for the first time and threw up.  I ate a banana and it tasted really good.  I even told Bryce how good they were.  After I finished eating it I went to the bathroom before I left for work.  When I was finished and washing my hands I just all the sudden started gagging and dry heaving...and well yeah you can figure out the rest.  Afterwards I ate a piece of toast and I felt fine.  It was super weird.  I'm hoping it was just a one time thing and doesn't start happening all the time.

Movement: She's still a little wiggler all the time!  It was fun to watch her move around on the ultrasound yesterday.  It's crazy that she already looks and moves like a baby.

Gender? girl!

Belly button in or out? in.

Wedding rings on or off? on.
Anything making you queasy or sick? I guess the banana I ate this morning, but I didn't really feel sick while I was eating it. 

Happy or moody most of the time: I've been really happy lately.  I am just getting so excited to meet my little girl.  I love her so much an I can't wait to finally hold her.  

Miss Anything? Hmm, still the caffeine would be nice to combat my exhaustion.  
Labor Signs? Nothing yet thankfully.
Looking Forward to? It's not baby related but I'm getting excited for my 24th birthday coming up on Halloween!  I'm also looking forward to entering my third trimester in 2 and a half more weeks.  Yay!
