At first, I didn't realize what it was. My stomach hurt at the top of my belly and I had no appetite (I could only eat toast for dinner). And, I didn't put two and two together because it came on 5 hours after my last meal and before my delicious toast dinner - both nights in a row.
Last night I had it so bad that I ended up eating some TUMS at 12:00 in the morning. If you don't know me well, it takes a lot for me to actually take medicine and even more to get out of bed! I'm glad I did though because not long after, I was snoring like a dog. Or Josh.
This morning I also had my monthly check up with Dr. Chhutani. My blood pressure is good and I've gained 2 more pounds for a total of 6 pounds more than my pre-pregnancy weight. Again she said that it was okay and not to worry about gaining more. I really am trying to put on weight because I'm a little concerned that she's going to be a teeny tiny baby, but then again Josh and I aren't the biggest people you ever met, so we knew we would probably have a little baby.
At 25 weeks, babies typically weigh 1.5 lbs and are about 13 inches long. Our little Piper has been measured in the 44th percentile for size. Her weight is on target, but she's short. Go figure. I guess she'll have to settle with being a gold medal winning gymast instead of a lumbering WNBA forward. Or she can be the brillant inventor of the flying car we've all been waiting for. I'll be happy with either.
