25 Weeks

Today I am 25 weeks with Lottie.  If it weren't for the constant sinus illnesses I've had since September I would be feeling great! I have a little more energy and appetite lately.  I do have some back pain/side pain at the end of the day after being on my feet all day.  Lottie has grown to the size of a cauliflower...over 13 inches long and about 2 pounds. 

 

 

Maternity clothes? I can only wear non-maternity pants if I put a belly band on to keep them up.  The unbutton/fold down trick does not work. 

Stretch marks? ha. Just Essie's leftovers!

Sleep: Pretty good as long as I can breathe through my nose.  I get up for bathroom breaks a few times but I'm able to fall asleep pretty quickly.  I am having to use the ole pregnancy pillow. 

Best moment this week: Essie getting to feel her sister's kicks/hiccups.

Movement: Yep...some days are quieter but she moves often.  She even had hiccups for a bit this week. 

Food cravings: Cake. Good ole' white cake.  Sour stuff (lemonade cookies, etc.)

Gender: Girl!

What I miss: having "normal" sinuses...my immune system!!!

What I am looking forward to: finally starting her room...it's a HUGE mess and will be a massive undertaking. 

Biggest complaint: sinuses (headaches, drainage, dizziness), hormones, lack of energy

Milestones: Essie feeling her move!
