How far along? 25.5 weeks
Total weight gain/loss: +2 pounds
Maternity clothes? Yep
Stretch marks? they are beginning...
Sleep: Sleep is difficult these days. I've just accepted that I won't get a good night's sleep until she sleeps through the night.
Best moment this week: Her reactions to fireworks - every time they "boom"-ed, she would jump or twist! I think she might be scared of loud noises.
Have you told family and friends: Yep
Movement: She's been quite active this last week
Food cravings: Nothing in particular. But I always want something sweet. Or Doritos.
Anything making you queasy or sick: Sickness is gone for the most part! Besides the whole kidney hydronephrosis crap....
Have you started to show yet: Yes. DEFINITELY yes.
Gender prediction: It's a girl!
Labor Signs: Not since our last hospital visit.
Belly Button in or out? In
Wedding rings on or off? Off. I wear my fake one (that's two sizes bigger) pretty much exclusively now.
Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy
Milestones: Head to heels, your baby now measures about 13 1/2 inches. Her weight — 1 1/2 pounds — 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 anewborn. She's also growing more hair — and if you could see it, you'd now be able to discern its color and texture.
