This pregnancy is still flying by! It's so strange to think I'm headed into my seventh month soon. I'm so excited and also starting to get anxious. Having two kids seems so intimidating to me! I also feel very unprepared for him so far. When I was pregnant with Harper I basically started buying baby stuff right away and then I sat around the last few months annoyed that I had nothing left to do or prepare. This time around it honestly hasn't even really registered in my mind. I know its just because I have my hands full with Harper so it's really not priority number one to go buy a bunch of tiny socks when I still have three months to go.
In other news, we've officially lived in VA for six months. I don't think we really knew what to expect doing a cross country move as a family and uprooting our lives. But, even through all the crazy we truly love it here. It's definitely been an adjustment and probably still will be for a while but we're so glad to be here.
This pregnancy continues to be completely different from Harper's. I'm reaching the stage where I'm very much sore and uncomfortable but I am counting my blessings that it's really my only complaint. This pregnancy almost has me convinced I could have a bunch of babies ;) The only real symptom I've noticed the last few weeks is that I have pretty much zero stamina. Its really shameful, my energy levels and ability to do simple things is just not where it used to be. I flew to Wisconsin for a four day trip. I went by myself for my best friends wedding and to see my family and while it was so fun, I was completely exhausted. I slept pretty much on and off for the first two days after I got home. On the way back to my parents house from the wedding, I was driving and made it about halfway and legit pulled over and had to call my parents to come get me hahahah I was SO embarrassed but I seriously thought I could have fallen asleep at the wheel. I have never reached that level of tiredness to where I thought I would fall asleep driving. Luckily my parents are great and were more than willing to come save me.
We've got about 3 months left to go now, I'm very much looking forward to meeting this little guy and also to not being pregnant ;) I truly love having a newborn. The early days with them are just so special and sweet and I can't wait to experience that again and to get to meet him. I love that we are having a boy and I get to experience the differences from having a girl. I also can't wait to see Harper as big sister. She keeps telling us to, "get the baby out!"
Here's my 25 week bumpdate info:
How far along? 25 weeks
Baby's size? head of lettuce
Weight gain? 18 pounds
How is sleeping? Can't complain, I'm usually asleep by 10 every night
Food cravings? Cheese quesadillas and Kraft mac n cheese (probably why I've gained 18 pounds haha)
Also Costa Vida, which is a restaurant in Utah and I get SO sad that I can't have it
Baby purchases? I've stockpiled all his diapers and bought some clothes
Gender? Boy!
Name? I believe we have a name but we're not sharing it until he's born. We got way too many opinions with Harper and I just don't care to deal with that again haha
Stretch Marks? Not yet
Happy or Moody? For the most part Happy, I cry WAY easier than I normally would though so that's super annoying.
Worst moment of the week? Just getting annoyed that I can't keep up and do all the things I want to do/ normally could do
Best moment of the week? Hearing that my ultrasounds I had all came back normal! I got a little anxious when my Dr. had me come in for more photos of the baby's heart but everything came back great.
Looking forward to? Taking my Glucose test in the next week or so. I like getting that over with and hopefully I pass and things are fine there as well! Also I'm about to start seeing my doctor every 2 weeks which is crazy!
