25 Weeks!!!

Where in the world is this year going??? I cannot believe it is almost July!!!  When I first found out I was pregnant the weeks went by so slow.  I think this had alot to do with all the morning sickness I had to put up with.  At that time, I never thought that I would feel "normal" again! Now that I am feeling better, the weeks seem to FLY by!

We have Olivia's room almost complete and I am starting to work on her closet! I hope to have everything done here soon so I can sit back and relax and enjoy the rest of the time as a little family of three before she arrives. I have a to-do list and while it feels good to check things off, I find myself adding things to the list just as much as I check them off! HA!

This week Baby Olivia is growing like a weed! She still has a pretty lean figure but her body is filling out and soon have some baby fat on her. Her brain is also growing quickly and her taste buds are continuing to develop.

Here are my 25 week pregnancy highlights!

Pregnancy Highlights!

How far along?  25 weeks 6 days

Size of Baby? This week Baby Olivia is about the size of an ear of corn!

Weight Gain/Loss?   According to my home scales I have gained about a pound and 1/2 a pound or so.

Maternity Clothes?  Yes of course!

Best Moment this week?  Finding out that I passed my Gestational Diabetes Test!! I just knew that since I had Gestational Diabetes with my pregnancy with Brayden that I would have it again with Olivia but I passed with flying colors! It was not even close this time! Thank goodness!

Gender? IT'S A GIRL! Olivia Kate!

Movement? She moves around all the time. I could sit and watch my belly move all day long! I cannot wait till she is here but I know I will once again miss all these little kicks!

Food Craving?  Still loving salads and Watermelon!

What I miss?  Feeling like myself.  I love being pregnant but I will have to say that this pregnancy has been much harder than my first. 

Sleep?   Sleeping really well. I fall asleep pretty easy each night and some mornings I wake up and I do not think that I moved all night long.  I pray that I continue to sleep well throughout the rest of the pregnancy. 

What I am looking forward to?  Finishing up her room/closet and getting everything ready or her arrival.  I am definitely a planner and I have to have everything in place ready to go! I want to make sure that we have everything ready for her and that I have a little time to relax before she arrives!

Symptoms? Back, Hip, and Tail Bone pain.  Migraines, and leg pain.  This pregnancy I have developed a painful vein that is causing me some issues and scaring me to death. It is a small vein right below my skin on my upper thigh and you cannot feel it through the skin but I am still worried sick over it. I am sure it is from the pressure of her pushing down. She is still sitting so low so that is probably the cause of this painful vein!  I just hope that everything will be ok with this vein and that it will go away after she is born.

Here are my 25 week photos!

Have a great weekend!!
