This is getting real....we're down to double digits! I'm 25 weeks (almost 26) and we are officially buying our second home! It's been a huge negotiating process this whole week, which pretty much just stressed me out and made me just want to move into a cardboard box. I'll put more about the house on here later...too tired from this week to go into details now. :)
Stretch marks: Just some old ones as before. The way this belly has been growing lately though, I wouldn't be surprised if some show up on my mid section soon.
Sleep: Last night I slept great, and maybe only woke up once. Every other night is another story. The heavier my belly feels, the harder it is to lay on my side. My back has started hurting and many nights I wake up just wanting to sleep on my back...which pre-pregnancy, I never, ever had an urge to sleep on my back. Too bad it isn't good for me or baby.
Best moment of this week: Having a 2nd level ultrasound on Monday with a specialist to get her heart checked out further. The sonographer poked and proded on my belly for a full 30 minutes, and when Everleigh wasn't laying in the position she wanted, she just poked and pushed my belly around until Everleigh moved into a better position. There were a couple of times I wanted to tell her to just stop and chill out for a second because she was really hurting me, but I told myself it's for my daughter and to suck it up. BEST part was when the doctor (Dr. Christmas) came in afterwards to tell us he saw NOTHING wrong with her and she definitely didn't have a calcium spot on her heart. Cue lights shining down from Heaven.
Miss anything: Having a feeling of abs and being able to breath regularly. Going up the stairs is starting to make me breath heavier and I often find myself adjusting how I'm sitting/laying/standing, just to try and get comfortable.
Movement: Just tonight, she started to straight up kick my ribs. There was no doubt in my mind that there was contact between her foot/hand and my right rib. Several times. It didn't hurt, really, but I know if she keeps doing this, I'll have a few cracked ribs. I read on one of my baby apps that these next 2 weeks are the most active weeks for baby girl.
Food cravings: Jimmy Johns. I heat up the turkey and it's yum. Anything carbs. Chocolate. I also had cravings for Outback (particularly the salad & their ranch dressing) and we finally got to go tonight! :)
Anything making you queasy or sick: Now that I take Prilosec every day, I've had no complaints. The bigger the meal, I eat, though, the more uncomfortable I am immediately after.
Labor signs: None, thank God. I read a lot of women start getting Braxton Hicks around this time. I've noticed nothing with the exception of sometimes my belly feels really, really hard. Not sure what that is all about.
Belly button in or out: Still innie/flat.
Happy or moody most of the time: Happy but emotional. Between having the specialist appointment on Monday and house buying, I've had a few times the tears just start rolling. Pretty untypical for me.
Looking forward to: Moving into our BRAND NEW house and FINALLY setting up the nursery! I have a vision, people, and I need to feel ready in case she decides to come early.
