22-25 weeks



How far along? 25 weeks
Total weight gain/loss: about 20 lbs
Maternity clothes? Still mix and match, but I did just buy a bunch of new maternity shirts. I usually wear lularoe leggings or maternity jeans (or my hubbys boxers around the house) and a maternity shirt
Stretch marks? My stomach is blowing up this time with stretch marks. Sucks. I did so good the first time around. Im not sure if living in dry Alaska contributes to that.
Sleep: Less pressure and peeing at night, but more hip pain and poor circulation.
Best moment this week: Reaching half way and viability!
Worse moment this week: Blood pressure issues. I've had a couple blood pressure readings above 140/90 and it is really starting to concern me. The other day I started seeing spots and colors in front of my eyes, and my OB sent me to labor and delivery. They said my blood work came back good, the baby looked good, and my blood pressure slowly went down while I was there. So I was sent home. I hope this isn't a reoccurring thing.
Have you told family and friends: We announced his name ^^
Miss Anything? WINE hahaha and being able to take any medicine I need when sick.
Movement: He is definitely a mover! Way more than his sister.
Food cravings: Cereal has been a favorite this time.
Anything making you queasy or sick: Literally everything is giving me miserable heartburn
Gender: Little man 💙💙
Symptoms: Swelling, hip pain, itchy stomach, out of breath all the time, baby is still breach.Labor Signs: Nothing significant. Braxton hicks are happening all the time.
Belly Button in or out? In, I don't think I'm a popper.
Wedding rings on or off? on and off. I'm uncomfortable wearing them most days
Happy or Moody most of the time: still pretty moody to be honest
Looking forward to: Finishing nursery, packing hospital bag, hospital tour...all of it. I can't wait for him to be here!
New this time: This pregnancy could not seriously be more different than my first. They really are right when they say every pregnancy is different. Im having some high blood pressure issues, which I never had with Aurora. I'm getting high 140s over high 90s. Lots and lots of swelling already. My hips pop loudly all the time, I feel like I need to see a chiropractor. I just feel completely defeated this time whereas when I was pregnant with Aurora I was still in the gym until 39 weeks. A positive difference is my skin is almost flawless this pregnancy compared to break outs all the time with my girl.
