25 Weeks



Here I am at 25 weeks. 

It's been a while since I posted, but there hasn't been too much to say (which is a good thing!).  :)  Everything seems to be progressing normally with Baby Wallbank! 
  • How far along?  25 weeks 
  • Baby size:  Rutabaga (what?!).  In case you were wondering - like I was - how big a rutabaga is, it is 13 and a half inches long and about a pound and a half.
  • Maternity clothes?  Yes!  Just got a box of goodies in the mail this week that I am excited to try on.  It is oozing with spring colors...I am so ready for warm weather!
  • Stretch marks?  None - yay!
  • Sleep:  I've been tossing and turning quite a bit.  Between that and having to go the bathroom several times in the night, it doesn't make for the best night's sleep.  I am pretty tired most days.  I guess the baby wants to try to give me a little taste of what's to come... :)
  • Best moment this week:  I got my hair done and finally decided to go ahead with regular all over color.  I have been doing glazes to keep things safe for baby, but I am only a few weeks away from my 3rd trimester and have read it is totally safe, so I went for it.  I am so glad I did.  I was rocking an ombre color - without meaning to!!  Now we are back to good old all over dark brown.
  • Miss anything?  Not really!  
  • Movement:  Lots and LOTS of movement.  So cool. :)
  • Food cravings:  Chicken quesadillas and anything salty.  
  • Anything making you queasy or sick:  No.
  • Gender:  Boy!
  • Labor signs:  No, but Andrea let me feel her stomach while she was having a contraction the other day.  So crazy!
  • Symptoms:  Back is sore and I'm getting hungrier by the day. :)
  • Belly button in or out?  It's pretty much flat.  I hope it doesn't pop out!  Yikes!
  • Wedding rings on or off?  On.
  • Happy or moody most of the time?  Happy!
  • Looking forward to:  Our "Babymoon" trip in ONE WEEK!  Jamaica here we come!!!
  • Diabetes update:  I can't believe how much insulin I need!  I feel like I am changing my pump every other day.  Things are still going really well with my blood sugars, although my thyroid continues to be a problem.  I think it is definitely contributing to my constant sleepiness!  I go see my endocrinologist next week, so we'll see what he says.
Hope everyone has a GREAT weekend!!
