25 weeks

August 21, 2012

how far along: 25 weeks

Madelyn’s size: somewhere between 13.6-14.8 inches, 1.5-2.2 pounds... about the size of a a head of cauliflower    

weight gain: I regret to say, 2 pounds this week, 18 pounds total.  I cannot keep putting on 2 lbs. every week!  If I put on 1 lb. every week between now and Madelyn's due date, I will be 3 lbs. away from my MAX weight gain goal...that's not giving me a whole lot of leeway! 

maternity clothes: Yes


stretch marks: None


sleep: Sleeping well (except when I have to get up to pee)


best moment this week: David and I ordered Baby Signing Time so I can teach Madelyn to sign, and it arrived!  

Also, Nanna informed me that we would be receiving something this week, and today a giant box was on our front porch!  It contained Madelyn's glider which was collaboratively purchased from Nanna and Pawpaw, Aunt Jennifer and Marissa Grace, and Nana!  :)

food cravings: Nothing in particular

symptoms:  I'm feeling great this week, both emotionally and physically!  Even David commented on what good spirits I have been in, compared to before.  Hoping it lasts a while! :)


gender: Precious, baby girl!


belly button in or out: Still in-ish


movement: Yes


what I miss:  Nothing at the moment


what I'm looking forward to: Madelyn's shower, next month!!!

  2. Thank you, Erikka! I do think MOST of it is in my belly, but it's not ALL belly. My niece saw my thighs last week and said they were getting big, but "It's a compliment"...since I'm pregnant! LOL! I hope you have a wonderful weekend as well! :)
