25 Weeks

Belly pic at 25 weeks.

How far Along: 25 weeks

Size of Baby: 13 1/2 inches, 1 1/2 lbs. (according to the website)

Maternity Clothes: I have gone backwards a little bit...out of desperation. I have found some clothes that I can "make work" in this time in my pregnancy, with such ambiguous weather. Can't wait for March so I can wear my cuter spring maternity clothes!!

Gender: It's a girl, we have a name...stay tuned! :)

Movement: For a long time I felt like her movements were sooo low, but now I am starting to feel a few kicks and punches about mid-belly which I rather prefer. Today at church a friend told me she saw the baby moving...how fun is that! :)

Food Cravings: Anything sweet. Currently snacking on Starburst jelly beans (try them, they are amazing). Had a Snickers ice cream bar the other day for the first time since highschool, and of course continue to crave any kind of ice cream product, but especially sherbet.

Food Aversions: Mexican food. It just never really sounds good to me.

What I Miss: the thought that I could go skiing if I wanted to...not that I necessarily would, but I would like the option. :)

Sleep: good, especially with a 45 minute nap every day when Addison lays down. It's perfect, a shortish nap for me, and then still a little time to get stuff done, I have quit feeling bad about taking a nap during this stage in life. :)

Symptoms: Braxton Hicks contractions, which are always interesting. I had them from early on with Addison, so this is normal for me.

Best Moment this Week: Spending the entire weekend with my little family, and imagining what it will be like with another little girl in our midst and what kind of big sister Addison will be.

I am so in love with this little girl already. I can not wait to meet her. :)
