Pregnancy Highlights- Week 25


How Far Along: 25 weeeks 4 days

Total Weight Gain/Loss: I'm not going to document this anymore. It really stresses me out. I know that my body is doing what it needs to do to successfully get Deacon to the size he is intended to be. I am experiencing swelling because I'm on my feet all day long so I know that some of it is water weight. I'm just going to enjoy the last 14 weeks of pregnancy without worrying about it and then work like heck to get it off when he's safely here! My doctor thinks that I have gained a perfect amount so I'm going with that.

Maternity Clothes: Yes! It was so nice to be able to wear some short sleeve shirts last week.


Best Moment this week: Derek coming home, feeling Deacon move around,falling asleep with Derek's hand on my belly...I hope Deacon knows how much we love him already!

Food Craving: Wendy's frosty- I haven't craved many sweets but Sunday I was dying for a frosty

What I miss: Sleeping through the night, nice long hot baths

Sleep: Sleep is a thing of the past. I get up 4-5 times to use the bathroom and have been waking up at 4:30 and going in to work early because I can't sleep anymore

What I am looking forward to: Derek feeling him kick-I'm still patiently waiting for this and it's killing me! I can't wait for him to feel it!

Symptoms: I have started swelling pretty bad this week. It happens at the end of the day at work but usually goes away when I get home and get my feet propped up. Praise God the tailbone is better for now!

My parents are coming over tonight to put up Deacon's chair rail and I can't wait.

I had a blast on Sunday going through my friend Michelle's sons clothes. He was born last July so the sizes line up perfectly. She definately has my style! She had several halloween costumes with tags on them that she got last year when trying to decide on his costume so Deacon has 2 halloween costumes ready and waiting for him. He will be a pirate for the halloween party and hayride at church and a cow for trick or treating in our neighborhood. Maddy has a rooster costume that she never wore because we were undecided on her costume the first year as well. So they will be a cow and rooster.....too cute!
