this visit we got to hear the heartbeat and i didn't get my glucose test, but i guess i'll get it in two weeks. my appointments now will be every two weeks. i can't believe we're almost at the third trimester. haley danced to her little brother's heartbeat last night. they hooked me up to the monitor to double check everything. so it was so cute to see her dance. the doctor said things looked normal.
25 weeks. My baby rivals the average rutabaga in weight -- about 1 1/2 pounds. (Length: 13 1/2 inches, head to heel.)
i love the word rutabaga. this little guy is quite the wiggler and has hiccups just like haley. but he is still higher than haley.
feeling pretty good. sleep hasn't changed much, but not sure if it's because of the stress with the construction, but we still can't wait for this little guy to make his appearance.
can't believe that we'll be going to the OB soon every two weeks. maybe it will slow down when i start slowing down :)
haley is starting to point to my belly and saying baby so she definitely notices her mommy getting bigger, but she probably still won't fully understand til she sees him.
can't believe that in three more weeks i'll be in the third trimester. it's so different knowing what to expect. it's good and bad - can't fully explain it. part of you is like i can't believe i'm doing this again (and so soon) and part of you is so amazed that you are able to have another baby and it's such a miracle, but then you go back and forth - but the 40 wks definitely is worth a lifetime of giggles and moments that our kids give us. you can tell how emotional and all over the place (more than normal - that is) i am these days ;)
the baby is the length of an ear of corn. and has maybe gained 4 oz. but that doesn't really explain my weight gain. i think it's cinnamon donuts. :) or water gain. but i'm definitely noticeably pregnant and big sweatshirts really can't hide it.
this week we are off to florida for a mini vacation and to visit the in-laws. i'm going to be sitting in the lazy river with haley. can't wait. we went to florida when i was 6 mos pregnant with haley. our little baby moons.
Your baby weighs about as much as a large mango -- just over a pound. (Length: more than 11 inches.)
(22wks pregnant with haley)
i went back to 22 wks during my pregnancy with haley and found this photo. i'm pretty much the same size. just hope i don't triple in size like last time - i won't be able to keep up with haley. haley and i have been doing this momma and me salsa workout every day. it's fun because we get to dance together.
the baby is the length of a spaghetti squash (approx 11 inches).
nothing really new to report. he's still getting hiccups almost every day like haley and wiggles lots at night. he has been giving me some crazy cinnamon cravings. i didn't have real REAL cravings like this with haley. i just ate lots of fruit. but i really think about cinnamon donuts or cinnamon graham crackers all the time. it's kind of funny. it's not an odd craving like pickles and cinnamon toast or anything, but it has got to be from pregnancy.
we still have a long long ways to go. just enjoying my time with haley and running lots of errands because i know it will get a little more difficult with two babies.
right now the remote is on my belly and it's jiggling :) he is already fighting for the remote.
had another appointment today. all tests results came back good. yay. good to know we are both healthy. the next set of tests will be the glucose test. then after the next monthly visit i will go every two weeks. can't believe i'll be there already. pretty exciting.
healthy heartbeat and all seems good. yay.
