How far along: Second Trimester :: Weeks 21- 25
Size of baby: Grapefruit
Weight gain: 162 pounds // 22 pounds gained. So a thing happened- I gained 9 pounds in 4 weeks. I don't know how I feel about this. Actually, I'm a bit horrified. I did some research by looking at Brielana's old 6 month update and apparently I had gained 10 pounds with her; I've come to the realization 6 months is when my babies grow the fastest. And that's my story, I'm sticking to it.
Maternity clothes: I'm trying to prepare my wardrobe for summer which is tricky in and of itself as our summer's are unpredictable. I think I'll wait a couple of more weeks before investing in tank tops but I'm pretty much done with buying anymore maternity wear.
Gender: boy!
Movement: Predictable movements around 10-11a and all manners of night time shenanigans.
Sleep: Still good. I've found I can still sleep comfortably on my back (why is that bad to do again? haha.)
What I miss: Feeling comfortable in my own skin. I adore being pregnant but growing a human is tough physically and mentally.
Cravings: All the fruits. Veggies with Ranch.
Symptoms: My back has started to hurt and every few days Baby Boy decides to stretch out my insides making things very uncomfortable. Heartburn is becoming a daily nuisance. Oh and joy, I coughed and peed. Gotta remember to cross my legs ;)
Highlight of the Month: Liz sent me the biggest box of baby clothes and it seriously made my heart so happy. Thank you friend!

ReplyDeleteYou are truly the cutest. That bump is adorable. I know growing a little human is tough stuff, and makes some days tricky to feel 'normal,' but all that said, you are gorgeous.
