25 Weeks

When I was pregnant with Anslee 9 months was eternity.

It liked to have never happened. 

I really thought the pregnancy part would never end.

It was torment waiting to meet her.

Now that we are on round 4 - I can't stay pregnant long enough.

Not that I don't want to meet precious Wynn,

but I really want to meet her when things are done - 

and say....

She has a place to live. Call me crazy.

This pregnancy is FLYING by. I mean we are non-stop,
and it seems like there will never be enough time to prepare.

So I am 25 weeks along, and overall - this pregnancy has been

like the other 3. Pretty textbook - for me.

She measures small, just like the others.

I never had first trimester morning sickness.

My back aches. I am a pregnant insomniac.

Heartburn every now and again.

No swelling (yet) hoping for none at all.

A little anemic. Nothing to take super great concern too.

All the usual.

One difference: I had a random bout of "morning sickness"

between 20-21 weeks. Yuck. That was horrible to experience.

Very inconvenient to have 3 kids - need to puke at little to no notice - 

and never want to eat anything ever. 

Oh - and I basically started showing before I knew I was even pregnant this time.

If that counts as a difference.

I started to feel flutters probably around 18 weeks.

Now, I feel more substantial movement, though she is not super active.

Just active enough to remind me that there is real life inside me.

I have NOT been able to work out as much as I would like too.

I can't go for runs in the jogging stroller because I have 3 kids and double stroller - 

I CAN go to the gym just twice a week while the big girls are in school and I just have L.

Then, a lot of times once I finally get the opportunity to - I am beat tired.

I do go to a step class twice a week, and try to walk on our treadmill 

as often as I can wake up at 5:30 am to do so.

 I am blessed with a healthy baby girl and a body that is still able.

And because everyone needs a bump selfie - 

here you go. 25 weeks with my Wynn!
