25 Weeks

25 Weeks
How Far Along: 25 weeks

Total Weight Gain:  8 lbs 

Gender:  GIRL!!! So excited for this....now to get the colors picked out and the room painted.

Movement: It has slowed down a bit this week but I am fighting off a little cold baby #1 kindly passed on.

Food Craving: nothing too major, just something sweet after I eat: normally chocolate.

Favorite  moments:  trying to decide on a name. Narrowed down to three.

Sleep:  Baby #1 is sleeping soundly now that she can breath out of her nose, which makes for better sleep for me and husband, but still not the greatest.

What I am looking forward to: picking a color for her nursery and painting.

Symptoms: What is this category even for?

24 Weeks


23.5 Weeks with the Handsome Hubby


How Far Along: 24 weeks

Total Weight Gain:  7 lbs 

Gender:  GIRL!!! Payton will have a sister! They really are the best!

Movement: She is constantly moving. There is a party going on all the time, no matter what time of day. I think she is burning off all the food I have been eating.

Food Craving: Still salty things and chocolate.

Favorite  moments:  Scott being able to feel her move for the first time.

Sleep:  Starting to get uncomfortable, but for the most part doing ok.

What I am looking forward to: Getting her room ready and choosing a name.

Symptoms: Feeling good so far. I am having more acid re-flux from time to time, and my RA is still acting up. I have had my knee drained twice, but nothing too serious.

Baby #2

15 Weeks and Baby #1
How Far Along: 15 weeks

Total Weight Gain:  3lbs 

Gender:  ??????? Finding out on September 16 at 8am!

Movement: I have been feeling movement since week 11. It has been a lot earlier with this one now that I know what to expect. They haven't been very strong movements but just enough to know he/she is in there!

Food Craving: McDonald's French Fries and their hashbrowns, and sweet stuff/chocolate after meals.

Favorite  moments:  Telling Scott and Family we are expecting #2.

Sleep:  Peeing once every night around 2 or 3am and then not sleeping well until the alarm goes off.

What I am looking forward to: Finding out the gender, planning the nursery colors, giving a name to this little blessing of ours.

Symptoms: Since the beginning I have not been nauseous, there are times I have had my moments but nothing like baby #1. I can no longer button my pants and have pulled out the belly band. I did have a minor flare of my RA which makes this time a lot different than the first time. I am guessing Boy....but who knows...
