25 weeks/ Kevin's Adventhttp://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Kxfuc9tg67o/TKaTdBbWBNI/AAAAAAAACI4/isKWTr77wEw/s320/securedownload-8.jpegures

It's hard being a working mom. I feel like I miss out on so much- especially when I'm just getting home in time to put him to bed. I try and use the weekends to fully enjoy our time together. I feel like I owe him it even more so now that soon- he won't be the only the child. He'll have to share us with his sister. I hope he's ready for it.

We went to Kaylee's first birthday party. Kevin loved the place so many fun things for toddlers to do. He had his first taste of pizza- I know right?? I feed him pizza??- well it wasn't a lot of pizza. :) The cooler weather has allowed us to play outside. We got to spend time at the park with Hunter and Ashton. I took him to my OBGYN appointment for the first time. He did really well. He got to hear his sister's heartbeat for the first time. He didn't seem too interested. :)

Here are some pictures from the week.

Playing blocks with Layla. He wanted her to have all the blocks.

He loved these slides. There were just his size.

He was taking a seat while Layla pretended to cook in the kitchen.

I think this is my favorite picture of the week.

The ladies in pink at Ashley's birthday. The preggos on either side of Crystal :)

Gilbert being the big kid. Lee is on Gilbert's back while Kevin is entertained by musical instruments.

Some more pictures of the cousins- Kevin and Esperanza.

yeah we didn't order this one because of all the white space in between them.
you want me to hug him? hmm ok I guess....but we'd both rather just be done with these pictures so we can play on the playground.

and now for the update on Savannah's progress. This picture was taken at 25 weeks 1 day.

Pregnancy: 25 weeks

Weight Gain: Well it’s not the best..but not too bad either. I’ve gained….eekk do I want this online?--25lbs so far. I gained way more with Baby Kevin so I’m doing better this time around.
Sleep: still can’t complain too much. Sleeping on my side solves most problems. It’s kinda cool now because I lie there for a while feeling her kick. Her kicks have gotten a lot stronger!

Gender: GIRL!!

Name: Savannah---middle name is still undecided. I think I’ve narrowed it down to a top 3 but haven’t settled on one name yet. J

Feeling: Excited!! And feels like time is flying by so much faster than it did with Baby Kevin. Best case scenario- she’ll be here late December around Christmas. Wow!! That’s so close! For now I’m just cherishing each little kick and movement because I know this maybe the last time I’m pregnant.

Cravings: haven’t had too many cravings this week. Although I did discover that I love Justin’s Chocolate Peanut Butter. It’s all-natural and super delicious.

Struggles/Limitations: It’s harder to tie my shoes. I have to find a chair or step to evaluate my foot so I can get the job done. Trying to avoid long periods of time on my feet.
Health (Savannah/Mine): Savannah’s stomach is measuring a little smaller than it should be. The doctors are going to monitor it closely. For now, they aren’t too concerned and everything else is looking right on track. I’m still doing good! BP of 122/80 and very low traces of protein, mild swelling (just started today), no headaches or weird chest pains. Just the normal growing pains.

Movement: Very, very active! She surprised me at work by kicking my arm as it laid across my belly bump. The last ultrasound took longer than normal because she wouldn’t stay still for the measurements.

Belly: I still forgot to ask for the actual measurement, but it’s definitely popping. It’s all maternity clothes from here on out. Hmm might need to do a little more shopping.

Current Medications: prenatal vitamins and a daily low dose aspirin (81 mg)

Next Appointment: Monday, October 18th. I will now see my regular OBGYN every 2 weeks and the specialist (MFM) every 3 weeks.
