25 WEEKS
Baby Size: the baby is the size of a small eggplant (8.5 inches and 1.75 pounds)
Weight gain: down .3 pounds from last week, up about 3 pounds overall
Maternity clothes: yep
Stretch marks: nope
Sleep: pretty good
Best moment this week: Hearing that Baby Girl is "structurally normal" per the fetal MRI, and that she has a NORMAL microarray - meaning she, by definition, has good genes! ;) Praise the Lord!
Looking forward to: our 26 week appointment to see our girl on another ultrasound
What I miss: I'd LOVE a cocktail.
Movement: yes! Starting to even notice it throughout the night (but I'm a light sleeper)
Food cravings: Halloween candy...have eaten most of it in the house that was intended for Trick-or-Treaters...
Anything making you queasy or sick: nope
Gender: GIRL!
Labor Signs: nope
Symptoms: still very tired and worn out emotionally, especially after awaiting the results of MRI and microarray. Physically, my ribs are KILLING me in the middle of the night! Not sure if it's the position I'm sleeping in or if everything's getting squished to make room.
Belly Button in or out? In
Wedding rings on or off? On
Mood: cautiously getting excited
Nursery: we ordered the first nursery item this week: the dresser! PB Kids was having a special of no surcharge on furniture, so we snapped up a dresser that I love. It's not the original one I'd been eyeing, but I love this one even more!
26 WEEKS
How far along: 26 weeks
Baby Size: the baby is the size of an head of lettuce (9.2 inches and 2 whole pounds!) - but at our appointment this week, she was measuring over 2 pounds!

Maternity clothes: yes, and I just bought some more from Zulily and Old Navy. Seeking a great shower dress!
Stretch marks: nope, still using my oil every day!
Sleep: it varies. Been waking up a lot and the rib pain and heartburn isn't helping
Best moment this week: having such a promising appointment with our specialist, and hearing that there's no reason to think our sweet girl's condition is lethal! Praise God!
Looking forward to: registering this weekend! We've put it off with everything that's been going on, so now it's go time!
What I miss: would still love a cocktail...especially with work reaching it's annual peak of stress in the next 3 weeks
Movement: all the time and throughout the day. I cannot get enough of it! She's even getting strong enough for it to hurt a little at times!
Food cravings: someone hide the Halloween candy. Can't. Stop.
Anything making you queasy or sick: doing pretty good here!
Gender: GIRL!
Labor Signs: nope
Symptoms: rib pain, heartburn, round ligament pain at times, not sleeping great
Belly Button in or out? In
Wedding rings on or off? On
