Week Twenty-Five

To compare with last week’s photo, click here.

Apparently our baby girl has taken up kick-boxing! She’s so so so active all the time and we just love getting to feel her movements. She responds to our voices (she loves her Daddy’s voice) and to music (she loves all kinds!). My laptop is balanced on my lap right now and every few seconds she kicks and my laptop bounces!

Baby girl is approximately 1.5 pounds and 13.5 inches long (hard to believe!). I think she’s supposed to double in size by the end of the sixth month.

Tad and I were talking today about how I haven’t had a lot of food cravings. From the very beginning I had food aversions (I think I didn’t eat chicken for about 2 months), but my cravings have been minimal and not too weird… yet.

This week I haven’t slept great, but I used my body pillow last night (I had gotten out of the habit) and that helped a ton. I just have some trouble falling asleep at first even though I’m tired. I usually wake up twice each night to use the bathroom, but I can always fall back asleep quickly.

I’ve had several total strangers ask when I am due or how far along I am, so I officially look pregnant now! One lady said she thought I was carrying a boy (which I think is a compliment) and said she could tell it was my first baby. It’s fun wearing clothes that highlight my little bump!
