25 weeks - Growth spurt

Here we are, moving right along. 25 weeks already. I'm not sure how much bigger I LOOK this week, but I FEEL like I had a major growth spurt. All of the sudden, when I sit down, I can feel my belly resting on my lap. And my body has decidedly less pep that it did a week ago. All of the sudden, bending and crouching are super-exhausting, my back has started to get sore by the end of the day, my legs feel consistently tired from carrying around the extra baby weight, and going up a flight of stairs too quickly leaves me unbelievably winded. Hot and humid days make my legs and fingers all puffy, and I can tell when I've been on my feet for too long. After a couple weeks of terrible sleeping, I have, thankfully, started to rest better at night. But my back is always sore in the morning. I am doing the daily heartburn vs. Tums battle, but thus far, I haven't been as miserably heartburn-y at night like I was with Sam. Meanwhile, Owlet has been doing a lot of stretching recently...

23 and 24 weeks - Sweet and steady

Have I mentioned that Sam is currently in love with the idea of this new baby? :) He is very very sweet. I can tell that Owlet is growing, because the kicks and flails are getting stronger. As for me, I'm feeling like my belly and weight have been holding steady, or at least we are taking a break from exponential belly growth right now. For as quickly as the belly showed up at the beginning of this pregnancy, maybe we've evened out a little bit. 23 weeks (and one day...and one interloper!) - September 3, 2016 24 weeks - September 9, 2016
