How far along: 25 weeks pregnant! Due June 28th!
Total weight gain: Up 11 lb.
Maternity clothes: Most bottoms now are maternity or a size or two up. I could get away with the rubber band trick,but I just want comfort now:) Tops are still pretty good.
Stretch marks: I think I got one:( I know, I know, its only one- and its small- but I am sure it will get bigger.I am still using my FAVORITE stretch mark oil {here} and the chest cream {here}. BUT HOLD ON! A reader left a comment about the oil, which made me spend some time on Amazon looking around, and turns out they sell a BIG bottle of the oil for a ridiculous deal. The normal bottle is 4oz and runs $45, the big bottle is 16oz. and is only $68! What?!!!!!!!!!! From now on I am getting the big daddy {here}!
Sleep: Great! Can’t believe that I am not even waking up to go pee in the night. Naps happen about 2x a week, even though I could take one every day if I had time!
Best moment of this week: We had a blast this weekend celebrating Melissa and spending Sunday in Gilbert as a family.
Miss anything: Drinks..still. Don’t you think the taste of alcohol should sound repulsive when you know you can’t have any?! Also the gross acid reflux and bad leg cramps are in full swing now. Im not waking up to pee, but I am shooting out of bed every now and then with those stupid cramps.
Movement: Super often, but my favorite part is that he ALWAYS kicks when Bray is on my lap leaning back while we read books.
Food cravings: Sweets this week
Anything making you queasy or sick: Nothing! Hooray!!!!
Have you started to show yet: Without a doubt.
Gender: Another little boy, and we are so freaking excited!
Labor signs: Just the Braxton hicks.
Belly button in or out: Its all out
Wedding rings on or off: On:)
Happy or moody most of the time: Happy as can be!
Looking forward to: Another bridal shower this weekend for a sweet friend! This is the craziest season Jeremy and I have ever experienced together, with all fun things- but its crazy!
U may know this already- to stave off the leg cramps- water- ur body needs more water…. I used to get awful Charlie Horse leg camps all the time- & bad while I was preggo-until a paramedic friend told me water. It helped immensely! 🙂
I know that is typical, but I cant fathom that being it for me considering I seriously drink a gallon a day! But I am trying to increase it even more it see if that helps! Thanks friend:)
I used to get those awful leg cramps with my first. Someone told me to try eating more bananas. With my second pregnancy I ate a banana late in the day everyday and didn’t have one leg cramp. Hope that helps :).
I normally eat a banana first thing in the morning, but I will try holding off till later in the day to see if it helps! Thanks for the tip!
