Please excuse the dirty mirror, no makeup, and the sweatpants #momlife 😋
How far along? 25 weeks
Total weight gain: ~8 lbs... I don't remember my starting weight at the scale at home, so next week's appt will give me more of an idea.
Maternity clothes? Yep! There's no hiding this bump :)
Stretch marks? No
Sleep: Sleep has been good! Sleeping on my sides with a pillow between my legs and then some on my back too. I flip flop a lot throughout the night, but I still sleep well and thankfully so does Nate.
Best moment this week: My birthday and telling our families baby boy's name!
Miss Anything? Not right now!
Movement: He's moving...he's much more quiet than I remember Jacoby or Maddox being. We'll see how that ends up correlating with his personality haha!
Food cravings: Nothing in particular but soups just don't sound good. I've made a few for Nate + the boys and then I end up just not eating it, because it doesn't sound good.
Anything making you queasy or sick: No, thankfully!
Labor Signs: No. But I WILL say that I feel a lot more lower abdominal pain that I had with the other 2 pregnancies. Not sure if it's just because of how much I am up/down/lifting etc. with the 2 boys, or what. I take it easy on the days where I feel more uncomfortable..
Symptoms: Just this belly getting in the ways some times ;) Other than that, I'm feeling pretty good. A little tired here and therej!
Gender: BOY
Belly Button in or out? In
Wedding rings on or off? On
Happy or Moody most of the time: HAPPY! Nate & I saw The Greatest Showman on Saturday and it was SO GOOD. SO SO GOOD. We both want to watch it again, I can't stop listening to the music, etc. Also...my birthday was on Sunday and I felt so loved and special by everyone.
ALSO. We have a name and that makes me SO HAPPY --> see below if you want to know what it is :)
Looking forward to: We have an appointment next week and I'm excited. When you go 4 weeks between appointments, a lot changes in between them. I just wanna hear his little heartbeat again!
As far as his name goes...
I've shared before but we really STRUGGLED finding a name. With Jacoby + Maddox, they both came to us pretty easily and we easily agreed.
After finding out this one was another boy, we had a list of lots of names we "liked" but nothing that stood out to us or that we just fell in love with. (To be completely honest, we are super picky and I'm aware of that!) We also found ourselves having a harder time because we obviously wanted the name to sound good with Jacoby + Maddox, but not too much like one or the other. We were probably overthinking it, but naming a baby is a big deal and we knew once we heard it, we would know.
I was in the rabbit hole of Pinterest links and stumbled across the name...and I fell in love. I casually mentioned it to Nate because I was afraid he would tell me no (like he had what felt like 100 times...haha). He said "oh, I like that!"
That night I went to bed and couldn't stop thinking about the name and it just seemed to fit this little boy. I told Nate the next morning that I couldn't stop thinking about it. Nate is super logical and thoroughly thinks through everything, so I knew he'd think on it before deciding his thoughts.
He texted me later that day and told me "I think I'm ready to settle on it".....my text back said THAT'S THE BEST NEWS I'VE HEARD ALL DAY!
I feel like he never makes decisions that quick, so I was caught off guard but HAPPY!
So we started calling him the name and it just seemed to click. We told Jacoby and he pronounces it well and is so cute when he calls the baby by his name! Maddox is still confused I think and just says "baby" when looking at my tummy ;)
Over the weekend we decided on a middle name (family name) and then we told Nate's family and my family this past Sunday when we saw them for my birthday. With both families, we played hang man and my family had a full man hanging....hahahhaha!
ANYWAYS. We don't keep much a secret around here, so for anyone wondering his name...
We are so in love with you Kendry!
xox,
Naomi
