Baby #2 :: Twenty Five Weeks

Size of baby: A rutabaga according to BabyCenter and a cauliflower according to The Bump - 13.6 inches to 14.8 inches and about 1.5 to 2.5 pounds.

Best moment of the week: Hmm, I had a good week, but there's just not one big thing sticking out!

Cravings/Aversions: Wants=milk, peanut butter, fruit, pickles. Don't wants=eggs, string cheese (oh, the insanity!)

What I love: Feeling more frequent and stronger movement. When Noelle asks to feel the baby move or give her brother or sister a kiss.

What I'm looking forward to: Getting more things crossed off of the pre-baby to do list! Finally going to take on some major projects this weekends!

Worries: My anxiety has definitely taken a backseat this trimester and I am so grateful!

What is different this time around: Right now, just more tired, more often.

Symptoms: Normal aches and pains and mild heartburn. Starting to get some Braxton Hicks when I'm not hydrated.

Sleep: I found that if I stay well-hydrated throughout the day I am much less sore at the end if the day and overnight. Of course this means I'm up once or twice to use the bathroom, but I can normally fall asleep fairly quickly.

Boy or Girl: Still completely unsure.

The belly: Getting bigger every week!

Movement: Getting stronger and more frequent. Baby is definitely starting to have more of a "schedule".

Milestones: Baby is beginning to exchange that long, lean look for some baby fat. Baby is also growing more hair – and if you could see it, you'd now be able to discern its color and texture!

Weight gain/loss: Plus 3 for now.
