3 Years & 25 Weeks

Our very spoiled, very smart, very sweet "first child" turned 3 on July 13!  I can't believe how fast 3 years went by.  I hope it doesn't happen that fast with Layla!

Happy Birthday Sugar Magnolia Lee!

I had my 24 week appointment last week.  Everything checked off fine - her heartrate was 135 and I measured perfectly!  I found out we will be going every 2 weeks until about 32 weeks and then I will be going weekly.  We will have a sonogram at least every 4 weeks.  The next one will be in a week.

25 weeks

Pregnancy Highlights

How Far Along:  25.5 weeks. The 2nd trimester rocks!  I feel so good!

Size of Baby:  1.5 pounds and 13 1/2 inches according to Baby Center.

Total Weight Gain/Loss:  10 pounds.  

Maternity Clothes:  I have made the switch especially for work clothes.  I feel like non-maternity shirts or short dresses look funny because my belly makes them shorter in the front.  Maxi dresses still work though!

Gender:   It's a Girl - Layla Grace Lee!

Movement:  She is a little mover and shaker and I love it.  It is amazing!  Robert finally felt her this week!    He was very excited about that.

Sleep:  Sleep is still good.  I get random leg cramps and some back aches.  

Cravings/Aversions:  Nothing sounds good to me except honey buns, really!  I am always starving in the mornings and then don't eat much at night.  

Emotions:  Not really.  I have been very busy with work and all my "community activities" as Robert would call them.  I think I am mentally drained.

What I miss:  Taking Nyquil?!  I've had a cold this week and would have loved to take some meds to help me out.

Symptoms: Just the random leg cramps and lower back pain.  I have been stretching really well - after the gym, before bed, and sometimes in the morning - and that helps.

What I'm looking forward to:  Meeting our sweet girl in 14.5 more weeks!
