How far along? 25 Weeks
Size of baby? About 13 inches and 1 1/2 lbs
Total weight gain: I'm not entirely positive-I think about 10-12
Stretch marks? None from this pregnancy
Sleep: I sleep great. I occasionally have to get up to go to the bathroom but have no issues going back to sleep
Best moment this past week: I enjoyed yesterday morning-Riley ended up in our bed right as Tony left for work and I wanted a few more minutes of sleep. She cuddled right up next to me and reached behind her and put her hand on my face. She's so sweet!
Miss Anything? Right now I'm missing not being sick-my body just isn't fighting off colds like it normally does
Movement: I feel her most when I'm laying in bed at night. Tony came in a few nights ago after I fell asleep and asked how long she'd been so active-apparently she was kicking up a storm!
Food cravings: Sweets-I've been trying to not have too many
Gender: Baby girl!
Labor Signs: None
Symptoms: Yesterday morning I woke up and had a little bit of spotting. That was it all day, no cramping or anything and I didn't do anything to provoke it so I'm not too worried. Last week I also went walking with a friend and I think I pushed it just a little too much(I added in some squats and lunges) and I started cramping a little. I really need to get it through my mind that I need to just relax and not push it. I've really been trying to do a lot more yoga instead
Belly Button in or out? In. I can see the bottom of it(I normally can't)
Wedding rings on or off? On.
Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy but very very tired
Looking forward to: Seeing Riley with this little girl! She LOVES her babies and is so sweet with them. Yesterday she had one in the baby stroller, carrying two in her arms trying to push the stroller. When she realized she was having a hard time carrying two she handed me one and said "shh baby sleeping". She's going to be so sweet with her little sister I think
NOT Looking forward to: Glucose test in 2 weeks
Things have been going pretty good minus this stupid cold I have. My birthday was on Thursday and Tony's dad cleared out our backyard for us! I am so excited :) We still need to bring in some fill dirt but this is SO much better than it was. Tony and I just went to dinner on Thursday, nothing too fancy. We're also going to see Insurgent at some point for my birthday.
Riley is going full force on this teething thing. She has never done it half hearted. By 14 months she already had 16 teeth(a full set for baby teeth is 20). The last couple weeks she's been super fussy and honestly a bit of a nightmare, especially with sleeping. I noticed one night while brushing her teeth that she had a molar on the bottom sticking halfway out and it looked like the other bottom one was going to poke out soon. I felt bad because I have no clue how long she'd been working on that one or that is why she was so fussy-she was in pain!. Well it wasn't getting a whole lot better and two nights ago we were playing in the shower and she'd opened her mouth really wide and I saw a molar on the top sticking halfway through! The other top gums were pretty swollen too. So it looks like she's going to have a full set of teeth here pretty soon. Over achiever ;)
With this baby I am going to try delivering her naturally. I love my epidural with Riley but had a hard time that I was stuck in a bed when I first got there and it didn't wear off for 11 hours after I had her. At our hospital they have a natural side to the labor and delivery unit that allows the moms to use the tub. That is a huge motivating factor for me! I've been trying to educate myself as much as possible by reading and exercising. I've talked to one of my girlfriends a lot about it and reading about the Bradley method primarily. I've also looked into Spinning Babies and am impressed with them. I've been trying to do yoga nightly to help open my pelvis and prepare my body. I have also been working on squatting-that one I'm still far from where I'd like to be. I'm not opposed to an epidural but if I feel like I can make it through without I would really like to

23 Weeks
How far along? 22 weeks 6 days, so basically 23 weeks
Size of baby? The size of a papaya-11 inches, 1 lb
Total weight gain: According to my scale 5-6 lbs but according to the dr's today 11 lbs. I don't like the dr's scale. I'm going to average and say 8.5 lbs ha
Stretch marks? None from this pregnancy
Sleep: Excellent, minus getting woken up so much from Riley the last little bit
Best moment this past week: Last night Riley was really cute. She gives baby sister kisses every night and last night when she did it she kept her lips right there and said "aw baby"-it was adorable!
Miss Anything? Not really anything.
Movement: I feel her a lot. She has been more active which is fun and Tony has been able to feel her more.
Food cravings: Strawberries! I have seriously had SO many the past week
Gender: Baby girl :)
Labor Signs: Nope. When I was doing cardio I'd start getting cramps so I am doing yoga instead of cardio. My dr said today to stick to strength and yoga
Symptoms: None
Belly Button in or out? In
Wedding rings on or off? On.
Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy. I did have a moment on Saturday when Tony left for his second baseball game of the day that I just started crying ha
Looking forward to: Seeing Riley with her baby sister :)
NOT Looking forward to: My glucose test next month
The last few weeks have been pretty good. I seem to be past the morning sickness and haven't had to take my pills anymore which I've been happy about. I'm still trying to work out every day, some days it gets too late after grocery shopping and dinner or my body just wants me to take it easy. I've been trying to do more yoga and squats to get my body ready for July.
Riley has been so funny recently. Tiring but funny. I found out Saturday that she has a molar that's half way in, which may explain why she's had such a rough time sleeping recently. She was taking over an hour to go to sleep and she'd freak out anytime Tony and I would try to leave the side of the bed. She'd just lay in bed wide awake. I finally got to the point that I couldn't do it anymore and became the mean mom that just let her cry as much as she wanted until she fell asleep. A couple nights that meant she'd fall asleep in front of the door and Tony would put her in her bed before we went to sleep. She did good this weekend, then Sunday night hit and she woke up at 3:30 and wouldn't go to sleep. I ended up in the guest bed with her because I needed my sleep and it took her another who knows how long for her to fall asleep, and it definitely wasn't restful for either of us. Last night she was SO worn out after spending the afternoon at the pool with Aunt Toni that she wouldn't even move to get her water that was 3 feet away. I thought she'd go to sleep SO easy and it took my letting her cry and Tony laying with her for awhile to get her to sleep. Then he got up with her twice last night and ended up in the other room with her. It's getting ridiculous. I can't keep doing it
I sure do love watching Riley learn and grow. She picks up on so much and her vocabulary really is expanding! It's so cute seeing her figure something out and be so proud of herself. She has taken to growling at things when she's unhappy. The funniest two have been Tony put the chips away and she said "rrr Tony" and then the next morning she asked me where daddy was and I told her at baseball "rrr baseball" haha. She's also calling Tony by his name instead of Daddy. It is so cute that I can't help laughing but I know Tony wants her to call him Daddy. I love their relationship :)
