Week 25! This week we celebrated Halloween and all the candy that came along with it! As you can tell I am a little behind on my posting bump updates.
The baby is the size of a cauliflower. I was always think it’s odd how they measure through food because I’ve had some small and large cauliflowers! Either way, baby is about 13.5 inches and 1.46lbs.

Symptoms
I’m hungry!
So, Halloween was this week. We have a ton of extra candy around the house. It’s been so tempting and of course I have been eating it.
I am a little nervous on next week’s weigh in and am hoping to get back into workouts to keep me somewhat on track with me weight after all that candy.
Head Cold/Sinus Infection
My cold lasted almost a whole week. Half last week and half this week. It was terrible. Everything was in my lungs and I couldn’t breathe.
By the end of the week, I was 100%, so I am hoping it stays that way for the remainder of my pregnancy!
Tired
My head cold or sinus infection kept me up several times again this week. I had to sleep with my head propped on a second pillow to help with the congestion pain. That made my neck hurt and I woke up with that pain as well.
Thankfully now at the end of the week I feel much better and am starting to get better sleep compared to then!
Cravings and Aversions
Cravings
The chocolate craving is real again this pregnancy. I am trying to cut back, but I just want EVERYTHING chocolate.
Chocolate: Oreos, Halloween candy, granola bars with chocolate chips, brownies.
What I eat to curb cravings
Grapes: We keep a bowl of grapes in the fridge washed and de-stemmed, so they are easier to grab. Kudos to Aldi’s for having them all sale each week lately!
