25 Weeks

25 weeks already??? This pregnancy if flying by! OB appointment went well. Belly measures 25 weeks and heart beat sounds good. While Dr. Chou was listening for the heart beat with the doppler baby girl kicked it really hard. She doesn't seem to like it and was responding to the sound. At least I know she can hear and is a strong baby.

I've gained 3 lbs in 4 weeks so I'm pretty happy with that. I weigh 121 lbs which is a total of 12 lbs up from pre-pregnancy weight. I'm hoping not to gain 41 lbs again. Got the results from the glucose tolerance test and I passed that with my blood sugar measuring 134 after the drink. Hemoglobin is on the low side so I need to start eating red meat and leafy greens. I really don't want to take iron pills because I'm constipated enough as it is. Acid reflux has also set in and I have to take Zantac every night before bed.

I no longer fit in my regular clothes. I can wear dresses and thats about it. The weather has been horrifyingly hot! It's hard to be big, hot and chasing around a toddler. Fall can not come soon enough.

This weekend we need to start clearing out the guest room and get it ready for Oliver. I feel bad moving him and I really hope he adjusts to his new room. I'm going to wait a few more weeks to start on Molly's room. I don't want Oliver to feel confused as to why his room is different and now there is a white crib in his old room. Speaking of crib, we got Molly's crib today. It is still in the box so I'm not too sure how it looks yet. I'm getting excited about starting her nursery but still not excited about have a newborn and two kids under two. I'm scared.
