25 Weeks with Baby #2

I'm back with another baby update this week. I don't feel like much has changed since m last update 5 weeks ago but I'm already enjoying comparing my answers so I'm glad I decided to do this.



How Far Along? 25 weeks


Size of Baby: About 1.32 lbs


Weight Gain: So I went back and checked on this to see what I weighed at my appointment prior to getting pregnant and I'm up 2 lbs from that. I was holding steady around 138 but I'd lost around 3 lbs (weighed the least in January) and have gained those back quickly over the last month or so. I'm sure I'll start seeing the numbers go up quite a bit in these last 3 months.


Maternity Clothes: All the time! Looking forward to the warm weather sticking around so I can start pulling out dresses that I can wear before and after baby.


Stretch marks: Still none!


Symptoms: Still a fairly weak appetite but nothing major.


Cravings: Nothing out of the ordinary.


Gender: BOY! 


Nursery: We ordered furniture and it should arrive around the beginning of April. Other than that we still haven't done/decided on anything.


Movement: I'm pretty sure I feel most of his movements at this point because I feel him all the time. It seems that around 4 pm and 9 pm he's most active.


Sleep: Still about the same. I was sick for about 3 weeks and had a few really rough nights where I couldn't sleep at all. Beckett's been sick for the last month (literally) and hasn't been sleeping good so we're all feeling the effects of that.


Anything making you queasy or sick:  The thought of meat and some smells.


Best Moment This Week: When the baby starts moving when we're in bed and Joey puts his had on my belly to feel him, sometimes Beckett with do it too and just look at me and grin.


Looking Forward To: Getting the Glucose screen over with this month (week 28) and then starting bi-weekly appointments (so crazy to think we've already reached that point!).



Other:


  • We still don't have a name nailed down. I had the idea to give one of the names a test run (refer to him as this name instead of "Baby #2" all the time) hoping it would stick and we could make it official (well, as official as possible until there's a signed birth certificate, HA!) but that's not going so well. Maybe we'll have to give the other names a test run too?

  • The crib sheet that I mentioned we'd bought (first item for the baby) came in from Pottery Barn and we hated it so it was returned immediately. I was able to find some Aden + Anais muslin sheets, swaddles and changing pad cover that I really love so I'll probably order at least the sheet myself so I can color match other items/paint for the room to it.

  • I've been compiling a registry on Amazon. We didn't think we needed much but after really taking time to think about it, we actually do need a few new things. We feel like we're pretty set on clothes since Beckett was born in April and had lots of summer clothes but we really need to go through and see what all we have in newborn sizes.

  • We still haven't decided on what room the baby is going to be in. I'm kind of pushing to keep Beckett in his room for now (one of the original thoughts was to move him and give him more of a toddler room) because it's one less thing we have to do before the baby comes. I LOVE his room (the color, the detail, the decor) but I'd like to switch up the placement of furniture or something to freshen it up. We're very limited because of the size of the space and the placement of the closet and window though. Since we're thinking of getting a nicer/larger glider this time around, I think having a slightly larger room for the new baby will be beneficial and will help take up some of the unoccupied space in the room. It also give us a blank canvas and allows B to stay in a familiar setting. We don't want to disrupt his comforts when it's not completely necessary but if we do away with the play room (not necessary now since we sold our guest bed and have another open room) then he'll need more space for storing his toys.

  • Even though we have no clue what we're doing for the nursery, I am SO excited for the furniture to come in! I'm certain that we would have ordered it for Beckett had we seen it at BuyBuy Baby when we got his furniture. I love, love, love it!





 

For fun here is week 20 vs week 25 (with my cute little side kick)!

Lincoln - 1 Year

It's hard to believe that our precious baby boy is 1. He still seems like such a baby to us, so much smaller than B was at this age (unless our memories have completely failed us). The day he was born was perfection. It will always be one of my most favorite days ever.  We had very few visitors, at our request (of course big brother had to be there!) and were able to enjoy the full day together since the scheduled c section was early in the morning. It was the sweetest day and I'll never forget how special his birthday was or how happy I felt to have another sweet baby boy to love. The first year went a little differently than B's first year. We didn't co-sleep after 1 month, we only made it to 10 months breastfeeding because of the 3rd pregnancy/miscarriage (which is still a major accomplishment but B went 15 months so of course I had guilt over that), we had a TIME trying to get him to sleep at night. Weight: 21.4 lbs, Length: 29.5" [caption id="attachment_4...

Baby #2 - Sharing the news

After trying for baby #2 for several months, we were thrilled to find out in October that we'd be welcoming a new baby in 2016! Since we knew exactly how far along I was this time (we had no clue with Beckett, I was about 7 weeks along and had no clue until my doctor had me take a test at his office before prescribing me fertility drugs) we knew we'd wait a few weeks before we shared the news. We decided that since I'd be 11 weeks on Thanksgiving we'd share the news with our families at our dinners. We had the first one on Wednesday evening and it was such a relief to finally start sharing the news. After dinner we went over to my mom's house to share the news with them since our dinner with them wouldn't be until the next evening. I'd made a cute craft with Beckett to make it a little more special for them. [caption id="attachment_512" align="alignnone" width="2787"] The boxes lifted up and under them it said (1) I'm going...

Lincoln Asher - 11 Months

I just can't say enough how sweet this baby is! However, he sure does give us a run for our money sometimes. He is into EVERYTHING these days. Our stacked stone fireplace = his favorite spot to mess around (inside the fireplace!) by getting the rocks out. You should see the grin on his face when he gets a rock and knows he's not supposed to have it. He will hike his little leg up like he's going to try to crawl on it and when we tell him no he will grin and start shaking his head no. He is rotten to the core. Sometimes I don't think I can handle another one after him. He wears us OUT!! haha Weight: 22lbs He's a professional crawler now. I love hearing his little hands smacking across the floor. He loves to eat. He will eat and eat and eat with no end in sight. He'll tear everything off the table in a restaurant in order to get to the bread. :-D He loves rolls, biscuits, bananas, and Popsicles, in addition to his baby food and formula. He's not a fan of...
