Size of baby: Our baby is about 14.8 inches long and weighs about 2.5 pounds (about the size of a Chinese cabbage... I have no idea what that is, but that's what babycenter.com said!). It's crazy that when T was born, she was only 5 inches longer than the size of our son right now!
Symptoms: I can't think of any "new" symptoms. I'm still feeling large and in charge. My belly is growing so much more "out" compared to my pregnancy with T. I carried her a lot higher and wider. If we wouldn't have found out the sex ahead of time, B and I would totally know that this one is a boy!
I'm still not sleeping very well. Once I fall asleep, I do fine. However, once a wake up, I'm up for good. It's takes me forever to get comfortable and go back to sleep.
Weight gain: 25 lbs. Normally, I wouldn't be too happy about this because I had a set amount of what I wanted to gain during this pregnancy. However, I have shifted my mindset away from numbers to focus on eating what's healthy and getting some exercise for our little boy. Plus, I've been benefiting, as well. I feel much better during this pregnancy because I've been exercising... go figure. ;)
Maternity clothes: I'm officially out of all of my non maternity jeans. :) I still wear non maternity, stretchy tank tops, but the rest is all maternity!
Movement: This guy is strong! There are many times where I feel him on both sides of my stomach... like he's trying to get out. He just doesn't like to be contained. :) I know that he's going to be a busy little guy once he's finally here. I have asked, many times, if T would like to feel her baby brother move in Mommy's tummy. Every time, she politely declines. It must not be as exciting for her as it is for her Mommy and Papa.
It's crazy to think that baby de Waard will be here in less than 3 months! We're so excited! I've been brushing up on my baby book reading, and it's slowly all coming back! He will be here before we know it.
