25 & 26 week updates!


How far along?  25.5 weeks!

Total weight gain: Up 3lbs from pre-pregnancy

Maternity clothes?  Oh yeah. Although I’ve been living in old dance shorts and a tank top for a few days haha

Stretch Marks?  Haven’t noticed any new ones so far

Sleep:  Pretty decent. Still shifting throughout the night most nights but not bad.

Best moment this week:  Honestly? Just spending time with my hubby.

Worst moments this week:  Munchkin falling and hitting the same spot on his cheek/ edge of his eye twice within three days.

Miss Anything?  Hard Cider, Moscato, being able to drink at social events…. SUSHI

Movement:  Oh yeah. Lots of soft kicks in my pelvic area, normal kicks above my hip bones and super strong kicks just beneath the center of my ribs. She likes to kick my bladder when I need to pee but am too lazy to get up and also gives me gentle kicks in the ribs when I have bad posture haha

Food cravings:  Hot Cocoa. I’ve had about 5 or 6 cups this week. Also one day I must’ve spaced out and realized at the end of the day that I’d almost entirely survived on sweets. Not good.

Anything making you queasy or sick: The smell around the kitchen sink/ dishwasher and dirty diapers.

Gender:  Girl!

Labor signs:  Nope

Symptoms: Mainly this week it’s been a bit more common for me to get heartburn/ acid reflux, needing to pee – a LOT. And baby girl sometimes likes to nuzzle up into my ribcage in the mornings which gives me TERRIBLE mid back pain until I can get her to shift downwards. Otherwise she pretty much stays down below my belly button.

Belly Button in or out?  Usually it’s nearly flat, sometimes one tiny part of it is pushing outwards.

Wedding rings on or off?  On!

Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy!!

Looking forward to:  Next weekend’s fun events and getting some answers about what’s next for our family!

How far along?  26.5 weeks!

Total weight gain: 3 lbs last I checked. 

Maternity clothes?  Yes, and now my non-maternity shirts are starting to not quite cover my belly haha

Stretch Marks?  Haven’t noticed any new ones so far….

Sleep:  Could be better. Have been dealing with a bit of insomnia and combined with soreness, shifting, etc can make nights a bit rough.

Best moment this week:  My first successful attempt at baking bread EVER!

Worst moments this week:  Some issues with our bank account left us broke and because of that we couldn't get to Andrew's weekly music class :-/

Miss Anything?  Hard Cider, Moscato, being able to drink at social events…. SUSHI

Movement:  Lots of kicks and movement. Still pretty often in my pelvic area but getting more common for them to be on my sides.

Food cravings:  Hot cocoa, chocolate, fruit, tacos, anything with onions….it’s pretty odd haha 

Anything making you queasy or sick: Smells and acid reflux.

Gender:  Girl!

Labor signs:  Nope

Symptoms: Sore hips, stiff back until I crack it in the morning, heartburn, still a bit of acid reflux, overheated, strained eyes, stuffy nose, frequent trips to pee, etc haha

Belly Button in or out?  Almost always consistently flat with it poking out just the tiniest bit in the middle. Weirdest thing ever.

Wedding rings on or off?  On!

Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy!! 

Looking forward to:  The weekend!

24 weeks/ six months!





How far along?  24.5 weeks!

Total weight gain: Up 3lbs from pre-pregnancy

Maternity clothes?  Yup – living in maternity leggings, yoga pants and jeans/shorts. I have started rotating in maternity shirts, but still wear a mix.

Stretch Marks?  Haven’t noticed any new ones so far

Sleep:  Lately it’s been really good. I have had a bit of a cold so I am out like a light when my head hits the pillow but I wake up still tired.

Best moment this week:  Being told that baby is doing great and so am I!

Worst moments this week:  Getting a cold. I’ve been so achy, foggy and just rough overall.

Miss Anything?  Hard Cider, Moscato, being able to drink at social events…. SUSHI

Movement:  Lots and lots of soft kicks in my pelvis, occasionally I get a harder kick and sometimes they are on my sides and up near my ribs but most often they are down low.

Food cravings:  Still fruit and sweet things. It’s a freaking miracle that I’ve been avoiding sweets since getting sick – I know I feel about 60 times worse when I eat anything sugary when I’m sick so trying like heck to avoid it! I also try to not take any medicines while pregnant so I’m holding out hope that my cold continues to get better and I don’t break down and take something.

Anything making you queasy or sick: Just smells.

Gender:  Girl!

Labor signs:  Nope

Symptoms: Round Ligament pain in my pelvis, swollen ankles if we walk around all day (at the zoo, pumpkin patch, etc), stuffy nose (even before my cold), still a bit of fatigue and occasional heartburn.

Belly Button in or out?  It’s getting real, guys. Barely hangin’ in there.

Wedding rings on or off?  On!

Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy!!

Looking forward to:  Halloween!! We’re taking Andrew to an event at the Children’s museum with tons of fun activities and trick or treating. It’s going to be awesome!!

Our Weekend ♡

We had such a fun, full weekend!

Saturday we went to a USF football game and staff Tailgate which was fun. We didn't do a whole lot as we got there late but we did see some of the game- enough to see USF score two touchdowns and have an awesome play! Afterwards, we dropped Andrew off at Granny's and went home to relax and play video games and have glasses out on the tables and eat junk food and all that other stuff we try not to do when the little one is around haha






Sunday we went to the Straz Center because Jesse had purchased Broadway tour tickets through his work so we were able to see A Gentleman's Guide to Love and Murder. It was soooo good!!!




Then Monday we finally got to the pumpkin Patch. It ended up being pretty warm and munchkin is definitely going into those terrible threes but we still had a lot of fun, picked out a nice big pumpkin and are still snacking on the huge bag of kettle corn we purchased. Yum!










Hope you all had a wonderful weekend! TTFN ♡
