How far along? 27 weeks and 0 days
Baby’s Size: 14 1/2 inches
Baby’s Weight: 2 pounds
Development: Baby's sleep schedule is becoming regular and he sleeps for longer periods of time. He is able to open and close his eyes. Baby's lungs and immune system are developing, and he would have an 85% chance of surviving if he was born today.
Weight gain/loss: No change this week. I'm up 19 pounds so far.
Best moment this week? My husband "played" with our son this week. He had his hand on my belly and said "Nicholas" fairly loudly (we're pretty sure this will be the baby's name). The baby responded by kicking me HARD right under my husband's hand. I started laughing hysterically, then my husband and the baby did the same thing 4 or 5 more times! It was pretty amazing.
Symptoms: Stuffy nose & congestion (I'm recovering from the worst head cold ever), terrible low back pain, leg cramps in my calves when I wake up, daily baby kicks, frequent urination, swollen boobs, darkening nipples, some cramping
Food cravings/aversions: I'm craving nothing but cereal, chocolate, fruit, and peanut butter. I'm so turned off by vegetables and the thought of chicken right now is revolting.
What I'm looking forward to: My baby shower is next weekend!
Milestones: I'm officially in the 3rd trimester!

25 Weeks
How far along? 25 weeks and 0 days
Baby’s Size: 13 1/2 inches
Baby’s Weight: 1 1/2 pounds
Development: Baby's hands are fully developed and his sense of touch is developing, so he explores my uterus by groping around. Baby's nostrils have cleared out and he is breathing through his nose. His skin is starting to turn pink.
Weight gain/loss: The scale says I'm down 1 1/2 pounds from last week. I'm really happy about that, since I am still reeling from the week I gained 6 pounds. I'm up 17.5 pounds so far.
Maternity clothes? I'm now able to fill out the maternity tops with the side ruching. My husband loves the way my bump looks in them!
Best moment this week? I scored a box of 180 diapers on Amazon for $1.84! (using Amazon mom discount, subscription discount, two 20% off coupons, and a $10 off coupon)
Symptoms: Stuffy nose & congestion, nosebleeds, back pain, daily baby kicks, frequent urination, swollen boobs
Food cravings: Fruit and chocolate
What I'm looking forward to: Maternity leave...still 2 1/2 months away. Blah.
Milestones: This week a parent of one of my students asked if she could touch my belly. I caved and said yes...This is the first time an adult other than my husband touched my belly.

24 Weeks
How far along? 24 weeks and 0 days
Baby’s Size: 12 inches
Baby’s Weight: 1 1/3 pounds
Development: Baby is busy putting on weight and developing his lungs. He has a great sense of hearing and balance, so he can sense my movement as well as tell if he is upside-down or right-side-up. I sometimes worry if he gets stressed by my stress level and grouchy tone I have had in my classroom lately.
Weight gain/loss: I gained 1 pound this week. Up 19 pounds overall.
Maternity clothes? They are starting to fit pretty well now. And I bought the most comfortable yoga pants at Kohl's. I will be living in those when I'm on maternity leave.
Best moment this week? My husband put his head ear up to my belly and the baby kicked him in the head HARD!
Symptoms: Stuffy nose & congestion, nosebleeds, entire back pain, daily baby kicks, frequent urination
Food cravings/aversions: I'm loving fruit lately, but hating vegetables. Even as I type this, I'm starting to crave an orange.
What I'm looking forward to: Maternity leave...but it's almost 3 months away...*sigh*
Milestones: I've reached "Viability Day," which means my baby basically has a 50/50 chance of survival if something happened and he needed to be delivered today. His chance of survival goes up to 90% if he makes it to 27 weeks! Grow, baby, grow!
