25 Weeks

Happy Thursday everyone!!

Once again my favorite day of the week!!

This past week was quite eventful on Friday morning we headed to our OB appointment.

Everything looked good with baby. He yawned in his ultrasound.

Heartbeat was 133 & is measuring two weeks a head at 26 weeks.

(Hoping this means he may make a tiny bit of an earlier appearance, May 15th anyone!?!)

My blood pressure however, was not to awesome. 

I occasionally get a high read every now in then without being pregnant.

One time it was 133/90

Another 140/90

Its been normal around 120/80 about 5 times. 

Last Tuesday it was 140/90, Friday was 148/76 and today was 140/74.

So its all over the place, no real consistency. 

So I am worried about pre-eclampsia and or gestational hypertension. 

I have cut my salt intake down significantly. 

I don't really due anything stressful or intense. 

Thankfully so far I have very limited swelling, and no protein in my urine. 

Lets hope it stays that way!!

Then we headed home and registered for all of our baby shower gifts & bought all of our nursery furniture!!

The nursery reveal won't be up until a couple weeks when we finish everything! 

We still have a few pictures to hang on the wall, the changing table and the toy box to be delivered :)

Weight gain: 12.5 lbs. I guess only a .5 weight gain which makes ZERO sense to me!

Baby Weights: 2 whole lbs, or the size of a rutabaga & is about 1 foot in height!

Food aversions: None

Morning sickness: None

Appetite : Back to normal and wanting to eat everything!!

Cravings: Sadly still all salty which I can not eat (see above), but also cereal

Clothes: Can still wear all my non Maternity Shirts, but am wearing some maternity shirts, no pants button, but can still wear them with a belly band or the hair tie trick. Pants are now getting snug, and probably will only last a few more weeks. Have a few maternity pants, mostly work clothes.

Headaches: Minor headache one day, but other than that none really.

Sleeping: Sleep is back to normal, less waking up in the middle of the night having to pee!

Stretchmarks: None yet!  

  Bellybutton: We have hit outtie, and can now see the belly button through the shirt!

   Wedding Rings: On

Backaches: Very occasional.

Heart Burn: A little here and there, but doesn't last long. 

Energy and Motivation: Normal

  Movements: All the time :) He has his patterns, & is super strong!!

Gender: Boy!

Name: We have one picked & will be announcing when we show off the nursery!!

Next appointment: March 1st at 28 weeks 1 day

 Looking Forward To: Finishing our nursery & hitting our 3rd trimester in two more weeks!!
