Olivia's Field Trip to the Children's Museum


 Last week Liv's class went to the Childrens Museum for a field trip!  She loved it of course.  Highlights were riding the bus to get there, playing in the water, running from exhibit to exhibit.  She was just a ball of energy (per usual).

I got to go...and Ryan even stopped in for a bit.  It's fun to see her interact with her friends.  She sure is a social little thing!!

baby at 26 weeks :
-Her eyes are forming, and his eyes will soon start to open.
-And her eyelashes are now grown, too.
-She's getting her immune system ready for life on the outside by soaking up your antibodies.

Morning Sickness: nope….
 
Gender: Not sure…but feeling like a girl this week.  Had an apt. on Monday, and the heart rate was 173…so fast!
 
Symptoms: a little tired this week….still congested.

Pregnancy #3: Week 25



DATE: March 8, 2013

How far along: 25 weeks

Total Weight Gained: 12.2 pounds…..really starting to gain/grow now!

How big is baby: The structures of your baby's spine are beginning to form while the blood vessels of the lungs develop as well. Also, his nostrils are beginning to open. Your baby now has fully formed fingerprints and his bones are continuing to harden. If your baby were delivered now it would have a chance of surviving due to some great advances in medicine. The premature baby could survive in an incubator for few months. Her taste buds are forming, and she may be developing a weakness for sweets. He/She is about 13 inches long and weighs a pound and a half.

Maternity Clothes:  Yes!  I still squeeze into regular pants now and then….but it is getting harder.

Sleep: Good…..but I am majorly congested, so that hasn’t been ideal.

Best Moment of the Week: Hmmmm…..it’s been a pretty good week overall…nothing earth shattering

Movement: yes…he/she is QUITE the mover…always flipping around.

Food Craving: oh just EVERYTHING…I am hungry…and just could eat and eat (this is NOT a good sign)!!

Food Aversions: none really

Morning Sickness: nope….

Gender: Not finding out…

Symptoms: nasal congestion…

What I miss: wearing my “skinny” clothes I guess

What I'm looking forward to: Dr. appt. on Monday.  Only time that going to the dr. is fun is when you are pregnant!!  Love hearing the heartbeat!
