5th Doctor's Appointment - 25 Weeks

I had my fifth doctor's appointment today and everything is still going very well!  Her heartbeat was 156 and the doctor said that she is probably about 1 1/2 pounds (my Dad however believes that this just cannot be right).  My blood pressure was great and my weight gain is right on track.  The next time I go in I have to have the gestational diabetes sugar blood test.  I have to drink that gross sugar water before I go and then they will take my blood.  If I don't pass and my sugar is too high, then I have to go in for a 3 hour test.  I do NOT want to have to do this, so I am crossing my fingers that I pass it the first time!  I don't know when my next sonogram will be, but I can't want to see our little girl again!

Facts at 25 Weeks:
*She is the size of an eggplant!
*During month 6: The average fetus measures about 13.6 inches to 14.8 inches and weighs about 1.5 to 2.5 pounds
*She's enjoying her new sense of equilibrium -- she now knows which way is up and which is down.
*She's growing more fat and more hair too!

Facts about Me at 25 Weeks:
*Started having trouble sleeping - can't seem to get comfortable.....boo :(
*Heartburn randomly, nothing on a daily basis.....yet
*Feeling her move inside...sometimes multiple times a day
*Still no severe cravings
*Name 99% picked out but we are not telling anyone until she arrives

  1. Of course Dad would think the baby isnt growing right. He believes she should be born already.
