25 weeks

Another week, another 3 lbs it feels like! I actually have no idea how much weight I'm up to now. I haven't been on a scale since my last doc appt 3 weeks ago. I'm not as obsessed about my weight as it might sound, I guess I'm more in shock of how fast I've blown up these past few weeks. I just read my husband's blog below, it was very sweet...thank you honey. However, if I may critique it, Ray forgot to mention how a couple of days ago he was able to feel the baby move. I guess he forgot how excited he was about that. Peanut and I will forgive him.

This week was the first week that I started to feel uncomfortable. I haven't been sleeping well for a little while, but lately I've been waking up wide awake in the middle of the night and can't get comfortable again to fall back asleep. I'm also getting restless at work. Yesterday I had the worst back pain I can remember and I just felt very disgusting. The baby must've been positioned somehow where it was obstructing my breathing. I felt like I couldn't take a good breath for a few hours yesterday. Today was a better day, but if I'm uncomfortable now, how will I be when I'm 8 months along??? However, I wouldn't trade these experiences for anything right now, no matter how bad it gets.

Update from the BabyDaddy

Well, we are almost into the third trimester. Amazing how time flies. We have been doing a lot of preparations for the baby. We ordered furniture, started the registry, bought multiple cribs. So many things that I hadn't thought off. I am so happy that Sarah is staying on top of all of this stuff. Who knew that you needed a glider for nursing?!?!

Sarah has been doing very well. I think that she has her good and bad days, but I have tried to be there for everything for her. She has gotten that so called "glow" in the last few months. She looks truly beautiful.

Every check up has gone by with the doctors telling us that everything seemed normal, which is great. The ultrasound was amazing. I didn't expect the detail, down to being able to see the chambers of the heart Seeing my baby's heart is amazing. I won't even see that after he/she is born, which by the way, I still think is a girl.

Next, I will be looking forward to painting the nursery, which will start next weekend. Also, considering that all of you guys have been reading this, I wanted to say thank you to Dawn, Karen, and Angie. I think that it has been great that Sarah has had family and friends going through the same thing to compare notes with, so she doesn't overreact to things.

That's all for now.....Oh, except, like Greg said, I am still waiting for people to ask me how I am doing!??! At least Greg asked. Thanks Greg.
