25 Weeks!!!!!

April 19th-April 25th
How Far Along: 25 weeks!  Only 1.5 weeks until the third trimester!!!

Size of baby:  Your baby rivals the average rutabaga in weight -- about 1 1/2 pounds. (Length: 13 1/2 inches, head to heel.)

My baby this week: Head to heels, your baby now measures about 13 1/2 inches. Her weight — a pound and a half — isn't much more than an average rutabaga, but she's beginning to exchange her long, lean look for some baby fat. As she does, her wrinkled skin will begin to smooth out and she'll start to look more and more like a newborn. She's also growing more hair — and if you could see it, you'd now be able to discern its color and texture.

Sleep: Sleep has been okay. My Snoogle is a life saver and I definitely would not get enough sleep without it! I still get up at least twice to pee, but that is to be expected. 

Best Moment of the Week:  SEEING my baby kick! So cool seeing my baby kick when I lifted up my shirt. 

Movement: Yes-he moves every day and throughout the day! 

Food cravings: No consistant cravings, although I am eating ice cream perhaps too much...

Gender: BOY!!!!!!

What I Miss: Salmon sushi!!!!!!!!!!!

What I'm Looking Forward To: The third trimester! 

Milestones: The baby growing so much that I can see him moving-both with and without my shirt on! 

Emotions: Feeling frustrated that I still have so long to go. 

Symptoms: Nausea, vomiting, exhaustion, acne, braxton hicks, heart burn.
