During month six, the average fetus measures about 13.6 inches to 14.8 inches and weighs about 1.5 to 2.5 pounds. She’s enjoying her new sense of equilibrium — she now knows which way is up and which is down. She’s growing more fat and more hair too!
How Far Along: 25
Due Date: March 13th, 2013
Boy or girl: GIRL!
Currently craving: Sour Punch Straws–sorta. I’m sick this week so I haven’t been “craving” much.
Currently Avoiding: Food in general. This sickness is not making me feel good at all.
Weight: Down a 1/2 lb, but I don’t know my weight or how much I’ve gained thus far.
Belly button status: IN!
Sleep grade: More please. Mason sleeps with me and lately more than ever he’s been ALL over me. And it seems like he can’t sleep un;ess he’s on top of me. But I can’t sleep with him on top of me!
Recent Crazy Dream: I had a dream someone was chasing me and I was hiding but it seemed like I was constantly just about to get caught. I feel like I remember going to a baseball stadium and someone’s Prom. It was random.
Evidence of pregnancy brain: Nothing right now. But it’s there.
Symptoms?: Out breathe like whoa. I can barely walk up the stairs but that may also have to do with my cold/sore throat.
Health: I didn’t get a cervical check this week as I had discussed last week but I did end up getting to hear baby girl on the doppler. Today I went in to get my weekly p17 shot and asked the nurse what I should take and she asked me to describe my symptoms (congested, sore throat, blood in the mucus I’m hacking up) and well when I said blood she got all wide eyed and went to speak with the doctor and they decided to just see me there. They prescribed me an antibiotic. Which I was happy to take. I started it tonight and I’m hoping beyond hope that I get better starting tomorrow.
Movement: All the time. Mainly at night when I’m still and sometimes I wake up to movement which I know a lot of people complain about it but I love it.
Any appointments?: I ended up having one today because I’m sick but my next cervical scan/ultrasound isn’t until next week!
Any baby related purchases? I think I ended up getting more clothes. I was going to make a collage like last time but then I got sick and lazy. I got some baby legs. And some storage baskets. I got them today and they’re going to fit so I have to order 5 more of each. Next purchase will be the mattress for the crib and her car seat!
Best thing to happen in the past week/ Worst:
Best: Baby Girl is doing well with this sickness I have.
Worst: I’m super sick and feel like shit and my patience with Mason is slim to none and I know it’s a combo of being sick and him being well two. But it’s getting rough on me :/
Picture to come later. In the mean time I updated 23 weeks and 24 weeks with a picture 🙂

Sonya Morris says
Feel better soon!

Aw, sorry you are sick. That and being pregnant is never fun.
Taryn says
Congrats on the baby girl! Try drinking some orange juice throughout the day if the baby girl allows it. You will find you won’t feel as out of breath. Your blood sugar may just be lower than usual sometimes. Mine did that a lot while pregnant. As for the name you got plenty of time, I’m sure you’ll find something you like. I was 6 months when we finally settled on Skylar Rayne for my daughter and even for a bit after we occasionally re-thought it. (But we do adore her name). If we had a boy though, that would have taken us until right before we left the hospital. LOL. I was named while my mom held me in the hospital so it’s not the worst case scenario. Good Luck!
