Attack of the Bug (25 and 26 week update)

Image
How far along 25 weeks (a little over 5 and a half months) Baby is as big as a:  Cauliflower Total weight gain:   12 lbs Maternity clothes:   I hate pants! Why do none of them fit? I'm in the middle of sewing the maternity clothes so I can see how those are before I need to spend money on some. Sleep: Dan has been gone at scout camp this week and as long as I put pillows in the bed where he should be, I can sleep just fine. It's fun to go to sleep and wake up to baby moving. Movement? I guess speaking of movement yes! And although it's still very faint on the outside Dan was able to feel it! Best moment this week:  I'll probably eventually regret saying this but it's now to have some sort of bump now! I feel like I look more pregnant than fat now. Weird pregnancy moment: I looked down and was surprised at my bellybutton. All the sudden I can see like... IN it. It looks like it's betting bigger as it's being pushed out! It

How far along 23 weeks (A little over 5 months) Baby is as big as a:  Papaya Total weight gain:   10 lbs Maternity clothes:   Skirts are my best friend at work! I've noticed that although my jeans still fit, they're starting to slide down in the front because of the baby bump now. I'm having to pull them up and wear a good belt. It's like trying to keep a collar on a pug. Sleep: I noticed a small amount of back pain while we were on vacation and I super glad to get back to our own bed. First night back on the mattress and those sheets were heaven!  Movement? It's fun to be going about my day and suddenly feel him move. I'm suddenly reminded I an pregnant and that I'm growing a HUMAN BEING. God made out bodies just incredible. Best moment this week:  This nice member at work commented on how happy and perky I was when I was helping her that morning. I told her it was because I just got back from vacation so I was relaxed and rej

How far along 21 weeks (5 months) Baby is as big as a:  Pomegranate Total weight gain:   7 lbs Maternity clothes:   I tried on some capris the other day and was surprised (but shouldn't have been) that they didn't fit! I guess my body is changing slowly to me so I don't notice it as quickly. I'm definitely going to need some maternity shorts and capris to survive this summer. And some dresses! Sleep: Still going well! My TMJ is finally calming back down, that should be back to normal soon. I was a little bit more tired this week than last. Movement? Everyday! Still can't feel it on the outside yet but I definitely feel him daily. Best moment this week:  Finding some names that I actually like. People expect me to already have a name (like I should have had it picked out a long time ago) but we definitely have finally found some we like. Weird pregnancy moment: After the hot dog incident (see last week) I make sure that I'm kin
