25 weeks - Eggplant

Weekly Pregnancy Journal



How far along: 25 w, 1 d. Holy crap - only 80 days until Mat leave!

Total weight gain: Meh.

Maternity clothes: Yup

Stretch marks: Nope

Sleep: Still hit and miss. I keep getting this cramp up near my ribs, which makes it very difficult to get comfortable on my side

Best moment this week: Um.... I don't know actually. It's been a pretty normal week.

Movement: Lots :) and WTEWYE says I might start feeling hiccups soon because baby's vocal chords are starting to work!

Cravings: Still fruit. And tomato mozzerella salad

Aversions: None

Gender: Everyone's still guessing girl.

Labour Signs: None

Belly Button in or out: In

What I miss: Wearing my rings all day without my fingers swelling up. It's been so humid out.

What I'm looking forward to: Getting our new Ford Escape and our house this week! And my new niece or nephew - we're just waiting!

Weekly Wisdom: Umm.... I don't think I have anything

Symptoms this week: Swelling - mostly in the hands, a little in the feet. And did I mention last week that the acne is back? 'Cuz it is. And I hate it. At least now I'm armed with a great cleanser and zit cream and don't have to suffer with teenager-esque acne quietly.

Milestones: I had to buy some fake wedding rings from Shoppers Drug Mart on Saturday. I hate the thought of not wearing my rings, so this'll have to do until the humidity goes the hell away. Ooh, and a work-milestone: my job has officially been posted and they're starting to recruit to fill the contract!


Let your spouse put an ear to your belly -- he might be able to pick up baby's heartbeat (no stethoscope required). Inside the womb, the formation of tiny capillaries is giving baby a healthy pink glow. Baby's also soaking up your antibodies, getting the immune system ready for life outside the womb. Eyes are forming, and baby will soon perfect the blink -- perfect for batting those freshly grown lashes.
