How far along?: 25w1d
How big is baby?: 13 1/2 inches long, weighs about a pound and a half. Weight gain/loss?: -1. Will find out for sure on Thursday.
Stretch marks?: I should change this to say, besides the few that Brayden left, none.
Maternity clothes?: All maternity pants, still mixing and matching tops.
Sleep?: I could use some more. The restless leg thing isn't getting much better. I cut out all caffeine, I am drinking TONS of water, and yesterday I went for a prenatal massage on just my legs. There is no guarantee that it will cure it, but it could help. I also booked a full 90 minute prenatal massage for next week- I am excited about it! If this doesn't cure it, there is a medication I could go on. I filled it just in case, but I haven't started taking it.
Food cravings?: cereal- specifically Lucky Charms or Captain Crunch. Neither of which I have in this house right now.
Gender?: We are having a girl!
Movement?: Yes! Brandon got to see it for himself when my whole stomach was moving the other day. She is busy in there!
Belly button?: Still flat on top. Still weird.
What are you looking forward to this week?: Doctor appointment and ultrasound on Thursday!
I feel 6 months pregnant, for sure. I feel like my belly has once again popped out of nowhere, and seeing her move really makes me know that the rest of this pregnancy will fly by. I am getting anxious to see what our baby girl will look like, how she will resemble Brayden, what their differences will be. I know I have a lot on my list before she gets here, too! I am really hoping that Brayden will be transitioned into his new bed, but I don't want to rush him either. He is going to change a lot in the next 3 months- I just have to keep reminding myself of that.
If you ask Brayden to give his sissy a kiss, he will lift up my shirt and kiss my belly. It is the cutest thing ever. He is going to be such a great big brother.
We still haven't settled on a name- not that it matters, because it will be a secret until she is here! But I am kind of sad about it. When we found out Brayden was a boy, he had a name. I think that now that I have clothes in the closet and that we have known for 11 weeks now that I just want it pinned down. I know in the grand scheme of things it isn't a big deal. But I am hoping we can agree on something soon! It is definitely harder the second time around, even though the gender is different!

That's so funny about the food cravings. At the grocery store this week, I bought Peanut butter Captain Crunch and Lucky Charms. :)
how cute are you! you probably don't feel very cute (I know I didn't when I was pregnant...but then again, I didn't look like this!).
congrats!
You look great! We didn't have a name picked out for Wyatt - we chose one after he was born. Sometimes I think i would have liked to have the name before, but it's kind of cool to pick the name on the birth day too! I'm sure you'll pick the perfect name!
Have you thought about trying prenatal yoga for the restless leg issues? 2 girls in my class were battling it & not sleeping well...but since they've been coming to yoga once a week consistently, they said that their symptoms have diminished by about half & they are actually able to sleep at night.
Anyway, you look fabulous & I love your belly :) 15 more weeks, Mama!! Time is FLYING by!
Looking good mama! Love that B is giving his sister kisses!
