We’re growing!!!
I’m a little stunned at how fast this pregnancy is going by! Last night I was laying in bed with multiple pillows (Have you ever tried to prop yourself up to sleep because of a cold and try to keep your back comfortable while still sleeping on the Dr. approved ‘side’ WHOA!) and I was saying to Lance– “I’m only 25 weeks!” And then I realized how only 15 weeks remain and so many of those will be taken up with the Holidays! WOW! It will be baby time before we know it!
So all that to say, I haven’t been great about keeping up with the stats– other things keep
taking my attention 🙂
25 Weeks Pregnant
Gender: It’s a GIRL! Abigail Grace.
Due Date: February 20th (but probably a bit before that since she will be scheduled– so maybe Valentines Day!)
Cravings: Ice Water; Orange Juice; an occasional sweet tea (With a lot of ice!) Fruits of any kind but especially red grapes, strawberries (too bad they’re NOT in season and hard to find!) and definitely PINEAPPLE! Other than that, whatever my body is craving/ needing that day–but I also find myself wanting a lot of vegetables. I’ve always loved them but now I feel like I could eat them at every meal! Eating is so much more enjoyable in this trimester than it was in the first, that’s for sure! Another somewhat strange craving I have is bagels. Some days I HAVE to have a good bagel. (Really missing Bruegers here in GA!)
Movement: Definitely! She moves most in the evenings when I’m finally quiet and settled down for the day
but last night, I thought for sure she had friends over for a dance party!
Funny Moments:
Every time Lucy catches a glimpse of my growing tummy, she says, “Do you have my baby sister in there?” Last week on Halloween she woke up with a terrible stomach bug and we were sleeping in the same bed, (at my mom’s house) and as I jumped out of bed to try to get her to the trash can, she vomited, cried, and then said, “I need a drink…. do you have my baby sister in your tummy?” It was pitiful but so sweet that she was still thinking about it at a time like that! She has made this pregnancy so much fun with her little anecdotes. I can’t wait to see what she really thinks of little Abby.
Finally a picture! It brings back sweet memories of our time together during your pregnancy with Lucy. I see you are still loving lots of good ice!! You look great and I'm so happy for you. So no Brueggers in GA? Will Panera do?
one of the best parts of my 2nd pregnancy was how excited Story got about her baby sister. It is so sweet to share that experience w/ your first born.
