<\/a><\/p>\nWhat Fruit are you? <\/strong>A rutabaga. A what? Exactly. She should be about 13.5\u201d long and 1.5 lbs. She\u2019s starting to put on some baby fat and growing more hair. I\u2019m actually so curious about her hair. Will it be curly and crazy like mine? Or straight like David\u2019s? Or a combo like Hailey\u2019s?!<\/p>\n Due date: <\/strong>May 9, 2014<\/p>\n How far along: <\/strong>25 weeks<\/p>\n Gender:<\/strong> A little lady!<\/p>\n Total weight gain\/loss: <\/strong>Up 16 pounds and feeling it.<\/p>\n Exercise: <\/strong>I realize I haven\u2019t been too specific about what I\u2019ve actually been doing. I workout 3-4 times a week with a combo of exercises, but the sessions are short. It\u2019s rare that they are longer than 35 minutes, which is great for me. Here are the workouts I\u2019ve completed in the past two weeks:<\/p>\n – 2 miles speed walk. Not to sound like a total clich\u00e9, but carrying Hailey around and playing with her throughout the days certainly adds more activity to my days that I didn\u2019t have last go \u2018round.<\/p>\n Stretch marks: <\/strong>None yet. DO yo\u2019 thang, coconut oil!<\/p>\n Swelling: <\/strong>No swelling.<\/p>\n Maternity clothes: <\/strong>All maternity, all the time. I might as well delete this question from now on, right?<\/p>\n Belly button: <\/strong>In for now. But the top is starting to poke out. It\u2019s weird. I can\u2019t explain it.<\/p>\n Sleep: <\/strong>Sleep is solid, which I appreciate. I\u2019m snoozing from 10-6:30 and taking an hour nap probably 2 times a week.<\/p>\n Food cravings: <\/strong>Still MEAT! I housed a shredded BBQ chicken sandwich in my car after catching a scent of the vendor selling them. I\u2019m considering getting my iron levels checked because it\u2019s so intense. (For more of what I\u2019m eating, follow me on instagram<\/a>)<\/p>\n Symptoms: <\/strong>I\u2019m feeling this pregnancy now and seem to feel the third trimester creeping closer. Some back pain has kicked in the past few days and has been intense at times. Yesterday I work supportive shoes and my new Gabriella support belt most of the day. Between that, chugging water and forcing myself to kick my feet up for 1.5 hours during nap time, I felt much better. Looks like I just need to start listening to my body more.<\/p>\n I also have moments where I see the sparkles in front of my eyes. Low blood pressure I believe? A few minutes of sitting down seems to cure it.<\/p>\n Oh, and hunger. I\u2019m still quite hungry quite often!<\/p>\n Movement: <\/strong>Yes! I love being able to feel and see her so easily from the outside now.<\/p>\n What I miss: <\/strong>Nothing too much at the moment.<\/p>\n What I\u2019m loving: <\/strong>The movement of course!<\/p>\n What I\u2019m looking forward to: <\/strong>Naming this sweet baby. I\u2019m ready to give her a name! Not sure if we will share it or not, but I\u2019m ready to start calling her by one.<\/p>\n Hailey\u2019s take: <\/strong>I\u2019ve been trying to talk about her baby sister more often and talking to her about what a great big sister and helper she is going to be. I\u2019m not 100% sure if she gets it, but she points to my belly and says \u201cbaby seester\u201d, then will sometimes give it a kiss. She pointed to a painting I have of a woman holding a baby and she said \u201cmommy and baby seester\u201d \u2026 so maybe she is grasping the idea?<\/p>\n Words of wisdom:<\/strong> Time to start taking breaks when I need them. The back insists on it!<\/p>\n For fun<\/strong>: 24 weeks with Hailey<\/a> and 25 weeks with Hailey<\/a><\/p>\n Now let\u2019s talk about\u2026 strollers<\/span>.<\/p>\n We have one stroller (the city mini), which we have loved! Being that Hailey will be 2.5 when baby girl arrives, I\u2019m wondering if I need a double stroller. I don\u2019t realistically see myself running with both of them, so I\u2019m not sure I\u2019d need a jogging stroller, but it might be nice to have one for long walks or a big trip out (like to a zoo).<\/p>\n What do you think\u2026 is a double stroller good to have?<\/strong><\/p>\n If I get one, should I get the one where they are one in front of the other or side by side?<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The the third trimester is creeping closer, which blows my mind!
