25 Weeks Pregnant - Baby #2!

How far along?: 25 weeks pregnant

Total weight gain/measurements: 155.2 lbs (+15.4 lbs), belly 41 inches around

Maternity clothes: It's funny, I've purchased a couple printed maternity shirts, but most of the shirts I already have are long, stretchy and/or have that bunched stitching on the side and work PERFECTLY as maternity shirts. Several of my favorite shirts are hibernating though - they do not work at ALL right now!
My maternity jeans, slacks and black yoga pants are the only pants I wear now. (Yes, I often wear yoga pants out. They look decent, you can't see my undies and they're damn comfortable. xD)

Stretch marks? No new ones.

Sleep: Eh - so-so. I definitely won't complain though, since it's a lot better than it will be here in a few months! Hahaha! And thankfully no acid reflux yet. *knocks on wood* 

Best moment this week: My mom arriving :) 
Miss anything? Nope

Movement: LOTS of movement! This girl is a total wiggle worm. Although I've got an anterior placenta and can't see a ton of movement right in the middle of my belly button, I can always feel the movement and see my belly button sink and rise! It's very entertaining to watch. 

Food cravings: Cereal, pasta and salad

Anything making you queasy or sick? Nope!

Gender: Girl 

Labor signs: None

Symptoms: Fatigue, occasional back/tailbone pain (it's not been quite as bad this week!)

Belly button in or out? Top has popped out! At times it looks like I don't have a belly button, just like with Vincent!

Happy or moody most of the time: Happy! I have been pretty easily irritable though! (Sorry again to anyone I may have snapped at this past week)

Looking forward to: THEEERRRNKSGEEERVEEERNGGG :D

24 Weeks Pregnant - Baby #2!

How far along?: 24 weeks pregnant

Total weight gain/measurements: 152.4 lbs (+12.6 lbs), belly 41 inches around

Maternity clothes: Maternity clothes and clothing that works as maternity 

Stretch marks? No new ones.

Sleep: It really depends. Some nights are good, some are bad. It's getting more and more difficult to get comfortable and the bathroom trips are becoming more and more frequent! 

Best moment this week: This is going to sound completely ridiculous. BUT: going to Target by myself. Haha!! Mike hung out at the house while Vince napped on Saturday so he could play Fallout and I was able to run an errand alone! That is very rare. It was so nice to just walk into Target with my ear buds in and look at all the things. I probably spent over an hour just wandering up and down the aisles! lol Crazy to think something that used to give me such crippling anxiety is now so enjoyable!
Miss anything? Nope

Movement: So much movement! I'm beginning to see movement from the outside a lot more as well.

Food cravings: Pasta and cereal. I literally drooled on myself a few nights ago looking at pasta recipes on Pinterest - no lie xD

Anything making you queasy or sick? Nope!

Gender: Girl 

Labor signs: Nada.

Symptoms: Tailbone/back pain and fatigue. Braxton hicks haven't been quite as frequent this week!

Belly button in or out? Top is out or even with the rest of my belly, but the bottom half is still in!

Happy or moody most of the time: Happy :)

Looking forward to: My mom arriving tomorrow!

23 Weeks Pregnant - Baby #2!

How far along?: 23 weeks pregnant

Total weight gain/measurements: 151 lbs (+11.2 lbs), belly 40.5 inches around

Maternity clothes: Maternity clothes and clothing that works as maternity 

Stretch marks? No new ones.

Sleep: I've been sick this week, so again, sleep has not been great. But last night was actually a lot better!  

Best moment this week: Finishing up Samantha's bedroom decorations! We finished her quilt and bedding and I even made her a little fabric taggie toy! :) I'll eventually make a post with everything, but not just yet. ;)

Miss anything? Nope

Movement: Lots of movement! I love feeling her kick and squirm throughout the day now, even if I'm running around doing things! It feels like she is checking in with me "Hey Mom! What's up?" :D

Food cravings: Same as last week! I'm trying to make sure I don't go too overboard on the eating. But I can't make any promises about Thanksgiving. I don't think I've ever in my entire life looked forward to Thanksgiving more than I am this year! Hahaha

Anything making you queasy or sick? Nope!

Gender: Girl 

Labor signs: Nada.

Symptoms: Tailbone/back pain, braxton hicks and headaches, although they are related to the cold I've had the past couple of days. 

Belly button in or out? Top of my belly button is out, rest is in. I have a feeling it will completely even out with the rest of my belly by the third trimester like it did with Vince! Yay for clone belly hehe :D

Happy or moody most of the time: Happy!

Looking forward to: My mom arriving! She should hopefully be here within the next week :)

Sleep: It's not been too great! Like last week, it's been a lot harder for me to fall asleep, because I have a very hard time getting comfortable. But I do get sleep eventually, so I definitely won't complain! lol

Best moment this week: Mike getting to feel baby girl move for the first time! Going to the Halloween party was also a blast.
