25 Weeks

Only 15 Weeks Left!

25 Week Tummy Bump

I have a confession to make.

My recent past times have included long spouts of poking my tummy and laughing as baby pokes back. I can't watch a movie anymore without laughing (no matter how sad it is...i.e. Fireproof) because I get tickled every time baby moves and wiggles inside of me. 

She is getting to be so big now! I can feel what I think might be her head up by my rib cage while she simultaneously kicks me near my pubic bone. I love it so much! I will be sad when she is born and I can no longer feel her playing inside my tummy! 

We went to the doctor's office today for a routine check-up and the doctor wants me to take a routine diabetes test in three weeks just to check if I have gestational diabetes. He says that it occurs in about 4% of pregnant women and gave me some yucky-looking orange colored sugar water to drink before I come in for my next check-up.

Jett and I also scheduled a 3-D ultrasound on the 27th of August because we really really want to see our little girl's face and sweet little body! I am so happy we did that! It is a tad pricey (Around 80 dollars) but we figured it was a once in a lifetime opportunity and very well worth it. 

I am feeling really good right now! I get tired really fast and end up having to take a nap once a day, but I have a lot of energy while I'm awake. I can't stand milk anymore which used to be my go-to pregnancy food. 

Right now I think that Jimmy John's # 12 turkey sandwich w/out mayo is my new go-to prego meal favorite. I literally go there at least once a week and fuel up on that yummy sandwich! I have never had anything there that I dislike and one sandwich is big enough for two meals! I feel like a spokesperson...they should pay me to write this! 

Meals like that are perfect for me because my appetite has reduced so much. I get full very quickly now and stay full for a long time. A full glass of orange juice with pulp will keep me going for about two-three hours and a small bowl of oatmeal can last for five! 

I haven't been going to the gym recently as I should be doing just for the fact that I lack motivation. I think I should find me a good gym buddy to go with because I cannot refuse when a friend or sister needs gym-time company. I prefer working out with a buddy because time flies so much faster and their motivation enables you to workout harder than you would alone. 

I have set a few goals to accomplish before baby is born.

1st: I would like to design and sew her a stuffed pink bunny that she can cuddle with. It has to have soft fur and plush stuffing. This little bunny must also have the cutest eyes that you ever did see and the durability to last through her first five years. Any suggestions? 

Also, I really want to make her a few headbands to wear with bright colors, flowers, and bows! I need to invest in a hot glue gun and buttons to bring out a perfect finish. 

Tutus, glitter, sparkles, pink, purple, and blue!

Ballet shoes, baby dolls, ponytails, bows, buttons, dresses...

I can almost taste it!
