Baby Update at 25 Weeks

Everything’s swelling – tummy, boobs, hands and feet.

And it’s all going to get worse :(

I’ve got a couple small stretch marks on my boobs now and the belly button is still shrinking. Had a few headaches this week. Sleep is getting harder because of a) my carpal tunnel syndrome, and b) trying to get comfortable with the belly.

My appetite hasn’t changed, but my stomach space has shrunken.

We went to Satay India and had a delicious banquet meal but I could only nibble. I was hoping to take some leftovers home, but noone noticed the tiny note they had somewhere on the menu about not being able to take home banquet leftovers. So I was denied, and it felt so wasteful. What else would they do with the leftovers if you can’t take them home? I wish I could’ve eaten my usual amount! Oh, and another thing – they didn’t even serve the poppadoms that was supposed to be part of the banquet. Noone noticed that either. I don’t think we were paying much attention to details that night!

The sweet tooth is still there. I just can’t resist chocolate, bikkies, pastries and so on. It doesn’t help that the last week has seen a few morning teas at work!

Only 14 weeks to go!! And only 9 weeks of work :D

I noticed that they hadn’t bought out the poppadoms when everyone had finished eating. Didn’t think there was much point bringing it up at that stage.
Satay India is usually so good, but they kinda pissed me off on this visit!

We should’ve asked for them anyway, so we could take a bite out of each and then not be able to take them home!

I would’ve liked some actually – if just for a nibble.

Yeah, stupid policy huh.

I’ll sign up for the swelling boobs, LOL.
It stinks that you can’t eat as much as you’d like. Especially when the food is good.
9 weeks and you’re home free!!!

Yeah, swelling boobs isn’t so bad except bras don’t fit comfortably for long and everyone knows how extortional the price of underwear can be!

Hey,
I’m sorry I still have your pregnancy pillow – this baby is being stubborn and won’t come out, but if all else fails, I’ll be induced next week so will make sure you get it asap after that…

Hope you aren’t in too much discomfort, and yay for 9 weeks left at work…

Hey no worries – I’m not desperate for the pillow yet.

It’s more that when I find a comfortable spot, the baby starts squirming and it doesn’t feel comfortable anymore!

Wow, you’ll be a mum in a week!!
