25 Week Bump Update!


How far along?  25 weeks...15 weeks to go!!
 
How big is baby?  Getting closer to 2 lbs and the size of an eggplant
 
Total weight gain/loss?  Lost 1/2 lb in the last 2 weeks...so total gain is 6 lbs
My stomach (uterus) is huge but luckily I have not gained too much anywhere else...YET! 
 
Maternity Clothes?  That's all I can wear these days!
 
Stretch Marks?  Yes...on my sides and boobs.  Boo.
 
Sleep?  Not so great the past few days.  I feel like I wake up to switch positions about 20x a night. 
 
Miss anything?  Not really
 
Movement?  All the time =)   Funny thing though...I think Pizza puts Connor to sleep for a loooong time.  I have eaten pizza twice in the past 8 weeks and each time, after I eat, I will barely feel him move for almost 24 hours.  After the first time it freaked me out, then it happened again after we ate pizza on Friday night.  I did not feel him again until late Saturday.  Pizza is the only thing that affects him this way though.  Anyone else ever had something like that happen??  
 
Food Cravings?  So random....cuban food and grilled plantains!  There was a restaurant I used to go to in Florida when I lived there that had the best cuban food ever... I came across some pictures of me in that restaurant yesterday and ever since then I have wanted it so bad! 
 
Anything making you queasy or sick?  Red meat and mint gum
 
Have you started to show yet?  Oh yeah...big time.    
 
Gender?  Baby Boy!  Connor Christopher :) 
 
Labor Signs?  Braxton Hicks every once in awhile but no actual labor signs 
 
Belly Button in or out?  In, but it is getting shallow
 
Happy or Moody most of the time?  Happy, happy!!  :) 
 
Symptoms?  My tailbone pain is a lot better these days...I have had 2 chiropractor appointments and it is helping A LOT. Still having the pubic bone pain but it is bearable.  And just in the past week my heartburn prescription is not working so well.  I take it, but am still getting heartburn late in the day so I take a Zantac and that helps.  
 
Best moment of the week?  Getting the nursery furniture delivered and all set up!  It looks so good and I can't wait to share pictures soon!    
 
Looking forward to?  My first baby shower in a little less than 2 weeks! :)

Have you considered drinking Evamor? It really helps with my acid reflux!
