Baby girl is about 14 inches long and weighs about 1 2/3 pounds. Her ears are so much more sensitive to the point where she can hear both my voice as well as Chris and Kohlton's voice.
How far along? 26 weeks
Size of baby girl? about the size of a head of lettuce.
Total Weight Gain: about 17 pounds (sadly 8 pounds since November 19)
Maternity Clothes? Yes everything I wear is now maternity.
Stretch Marks? Still no new ones. I'm making sure that I'm putting on lotion all the time.
Sleep? So much harder this last week. I can't get comfortable and once I do I have to get up to go to the bathroom or Kohlton wakes up or Baby starts moving.
Best Moment this week? We put up our Christmas tree and have been enjoying watching lots of Christmas movies. Also Kohlton got to feel her. We were sitting on the couch watching cartoons and she kicked him. I said did you feel her and he looked at me with a huge smile on his face and said YA :)
Miss Anything? Cookie dough again... the only reason for this is because Chris ate one right in front of me. I also really miss sleeping.
Movement? All the Time!!! Most of the time when I'm trying to sleep.. lol... She has also had some very powerful gabs that really hurt!
Cravings? Well with Kohlton's pregnancy I had gestational diabetes so I was craving everything that I know I'm not going to be able to have. So over the last week I've been eating a lot of bread, apples, bananas, ice cream, and chocolate.
Sick? Nope not at all :)
Labor signs? Nope!
Symptoms? I'm having lots of back pain, also having leg cramps in the middle of the night, and I'm not sleeping at all.. I've had to take a nap most days and can't keep my eyes open past 9 pm.
Belly Button In or Out? Out.
Wedding Ring on or off? I've taken it off. Its starting to get a little tight so I've put it on a necklace to wear.
Happy or Moody? I've been both.
Looking forward to? Christmas. We don't have plans to go anywhere so we are going to stay at home and spend time together as a family.
This last week Summary!
This last week Chris took half a weeks vacation just to hang out with Kohlton and me. It was really nice to have him home so we got lots of things done. We moved things around to fit some of baby girl's things in, which has me really excited to start organizing. I also had my one hour glucose test on Tuesday December 17 and didn't pass, which is what I was expecting since I had gestational diabetes with Kohlton's pregnancy. So I have my 3 hour test on Friday December 20. I'm not excited for it at all but I need to look on the bright side that its 3 hours of peace and quiet with no Kohlton yelling "mom" at me. lol I'm sure I'll miss him like crazy but I plan to hopefully get a lot done during those three hours you know in between getting my blood drawn.

21-25 Weeks
Wow! I can't believe its been about a month since I updated out blog. Its been a super crazy busy month and I'm going to summarize everything.
As for baby girl she is about 13 1/2 inches long and weighs about a pound and a half, about the size of a rutabaga or head of cauliflower. She is starting to look more like a newborn due to her skin smoothing out and she is starting to add on some baby fat.
How far along? 25 weeks
Size of the baby? Rutabaga or head of cauliflower
Total Weight gain: I've been gaining about a pound a week. So I'm guessing around 15 pounds so far.
Maternity clothes? Absolutely!!!
Stretch marks? No new ones but the old ones are starting to appear more so its hello Cocoa Butter :)
Sleep? Its much harder to get comfortable. I've had to start putting a pillow under my belly so that my ribs aren't killing me by morning.
Best moment these last few weeks? Chris got to feel our baby girl as well as the rest of my family.
Miss anything? Sleeping on my stomach and back (which I never thought I would say). I've also missed getting a full nights sleep. There are lots of potty breaks in middle of the night.
Movement? When is she not moving is the question. She is a sweetheart tho and doesn't move during the night when I'm sleeping.
Cravings? The last few day its been fruit such as apples, bananas, and clementines. I'm trying to eat everything I won't be able to eat if I have gestational diabetes again.
Sick? Some, mostly when I'm traveling tho.
Labor signs? Nope
Symptoms? I learned that I can't eat mushrooms because they give me horrible cramps, which is very sad because I love mushrooms.
Belly button in or out.? Its out. You can see it through most of my clothes.
Wedding Ring on or off? Mostly on!
Happy or Moody? Both over the past few weeks.
Looking forward to? Our last Christmas as a family of three. We are staying at home to enjoy each others company. We plan to start making our own family traditions :)
Summary of the past month:
Well I had an appointment on the 19th of November and everything looked great. Her heart was beating right along at about 150 beats per minute. I gained about 4 pounds in a little over a months time so I'm doing great. I hot my next appointment set up for December 17 which is when I get to take that wonderful glucose test. Yay! NOT!! I'm so worried I'm going to fail like I did with Kohlton but at the same time I know this is better for baby girl.
Kohlton and I took a trip to Pella to spend time with my family for the holidays. We were there for 11 days and they were jammed packed with family time, seeing friends, and holiday things. The first Thursday, Kohlton went and spent sometime with our friends Emma and Ella for the day, while I went to see my sister sing in Ames. It was a long exhausting day but I had a great time and I know Kohlton had a great time playing with Emma and Ella :) Friday we spent trying to recover from our two very busy days. Saturday we hung out at my parents house then had a Thanksgiving that night. Kohlton had a great time running around with his cousins.
Sunday we went to church and then I spent a few hours at night going out to eat with my girl friends. It was so great to see them all. Monday Kohlton and I spent the morning with my friend Kristin and her children. Then Monday night we had a house warming party for my friend:) Tuesday we went to see my grandparents and then went to the chiropractor for Kohlton. He had been up most nights so I thought hey he hasn't been adjusted since August I'll take him in. It was then that night that I found he was pushing though his two year old molars. He had one through and another one in the process of breaking the skin.
Wednesday my friend, Heather, and her girls came over to play in the morning and then Uncle Danny and Aunt Carley came home Wednesday night when we went to church. Thursday we spent time at home. Kohlton got to help Grandpa and Uncle Danny work on putting grandpa's barn up. It was super cute. He even got to drive the tractor around.
We had our Thanksgiving dinner at night followed by the Farming Game. Bright and Early Friday morning we went black Friday shopping. I've worked in retail so I always avoided Black Friday but this was the first year I got to go with family so I went. I was exhausted by the end but still had a great time. I got a few Christmas presents for Kohlton and some much needed pillows for our apartment. Saturday we had our Christmas on the Nunnikhoven side at night since Grandpa and Grandma leave for Arizona. We had a ton of fun. Our last day there was Sunday, we went to church, packed our car and came home. but right before we left Grandpa and Grandma gave Kohlton a Christmas present because they thought he needed it before the new year began.
Kohlton and I were so excited to see Chris. Kohlton was pretty much attached to him for a few days after. lol
So I think that wraps up our month. I plan to keep this updated from now on since I'm not going anywhere for awhile now :)
