25 Weeks

25 Weeks Down, 15 To Go!!! Here's what's happening in Week 25....


How far along? 25 Weeks 

Baby Size: Around 13 inches (weighing about 1.5-2 lbs.) Or the Size of A Cauliflower

Total weight gain: around 18-19ish lbs. (they're starting to pack on quickly now!)

Maternity clothes? Yep! Still getting away with a few non-maternity tops. I think here soon I want to try to do a maternity style post. I'm having fun trying to create stylish, but comfy outfits! I'm thinking of doing a fall/winter maternity style post, as well as incorporating the balance of work/weekend styles too! 

Stretch marks? Not yet-- but I still have about 15 more weeks to stretch out, so there is still a chance they'll start to pop up!

Sleep: Some nights are better than others. I really need to try to drink much more water in the day & less at night, so I get up less frequently! Overall, I'm still sleeping pretty well thanks to my Snoogle!

Recap of last week: We enjoyed a couple of nights together for some "date" time. Tuesday we had the day off for election day, so that evening we went out to dinner & ran to TJ Maxx and Trader Joe's to run some errands-- well, because doing those things will get harder with a baby. We also had a movie night in & s'mores roasting night this weekend-- nice & relaxing! 

Miss Anything? Nothing really this week...

Movement: Yes :) I forgot to share a cute story from our latest appointment. When the nurse went to find his heartbeat, she was having difficulties because he was so squirmy. He finally started to kick the Doppler whenever she would run it along my belly. It was too cute & funny :) We finally got him to cooperate, and found his sweet little heartbeat-- which has dropped some since the earlier stages of pregnancy, to 148bpm (so maybe this heartbeat wives' tale will end up being true later on in the pregnancy?)

Food cravings: I'm pretty even on my sweet/salty cravings lately. I am so ready to eat Thanksgiving food (which I enjoyed a bit on Wednesday with our church). There's nothing else quite as comforting as mashed potatoes & pumpkin pie! Italian and Mexican cuisine have sounded the best lately too!

Anything making you queasy or sick: Nope!

Gender: BOY!

Labor Signs: No.

Symptoms: Growing Belly, Baby Movement, Some Indigestion, Growing Pains. 

Belly Button in or out? In.

Wedding rings on or off? On.

Mood: Mostly happy :)

Looking forward to: Having friends in town this weekend & maternity pics! 

Thanks for stopping by for the latest Bumpdate! Have a great week, everyone! :)
