25 Weeks

How far along? 25 weeks.

Total weight gain: 9 pounds.

Maternity clothes? Still nothing new. The other day it was SO cold here and I had a bunch of errands to run so I decided I would layer leggings under (non-maternity) jeans to try and stay warm-ish. Initially I went with the ol' hair tie through the button hole trick, but by the time I finished getting ready they were practically falling off! So all of that back story is just to share my small victory of buttoning my pre-preggo jeans :)

Stretch marks? Nope!

Sleep: Not terrible, but also not great. I've been so congested over night that it wakes me up a lot - super attractive Breathe Rite strips and the nursery humidifier to the rescue! ;)

Nausea: None.

Best moment this week: On Sunday night I was prepping dinner when all of a sudden I felt what I thought was a really big baby kick, but the feeling didn't go away.. When I reached down I could feel some part of baby girl just sticking straight out of my belly! So weird, but SO cool :)

Miss Anything? Weirdly enough, being able to crack my back. I would love to be able to sit in a chair and twist all the way from side to side and just crack the heck out of it!

Movement: See above :) Tons of movement, plus she seems to like to hang out on my right side just below my belly button.

Food cravings: Sweet breakfast foods. Donuts, pancakes, waffles, french toast... Which is really unlike me considering I don't usually prefer breakfast foods OR sweets.

Anything making you queasy or sick: No, but I've had a ton of anxiety the last couple days. I've just been worrying so much about baby girl - whether she's growing the way she's supposed to, whether I'm doing a good enough job preparing for her arrival.. I guess it just comes with the new mom territory. I'm already counting down the days until our 33 week ultrasound so we can see our sweet girl again!

Labor Signs: None.

Symptoms: Same as last week. Congestion, sore hips and feet, and my personal favorite - sciatic pain! :)
Belly Button in or out? In, but not for long!
Wedding ring on or off? On.

Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy! :)

Looking forward to: Honestly? Making a huge batch of pancakes this weekend! ;)
