25 Weeks

How far along: 25 Weeks 6 Days- I had a valid excuse for posting late this week. My phone died and I was waiting for my new one to come in so I could get a good belly pic for the week. We also hit the milestone of less than 100 days left until birth so we are officially on the downhill slide.


Total Weight Gain/Loss: Still down

Maternity Clothes: Yes

Stretch Marks: No worse maybe even fading just a bit.

Sleep: Pretty good

Movement: Gracie sleeps a little bit longer and I think she has been sleeping when I do because when she is up she stays that way for a while now.

Food Cravings/Aversions: Still stuck on lemonade and sweets in general. I still hate spaghetti-o’s and all canned Italian food with that nasty orange sauce that stains your tupperware. Ewww

Gender: Girl

Belly Button In or Out: Still in

What I Miss: Feeling in my legs. Seriously sciatica can bite me

What I am Looking Forward To: We picked paint colors yesterday so we are right around the corner from getting the painting done. I’m also ready to get rid of this gall bladder. I had another attack on Sunday night which was really bad and also disappointing that I only made it 6 weeks since the last one so it’s definitely getting worse.

Weekly Wisdom: Stay away from the Taco Bell chalupa unless to want to be on the floor in pain.

Best Moment This Week: Totally not baby related but I got my new phone in today so I’m on technology cloud 9.

Let your spouse put an ear to your belly -- he might be able to pick up baby's heartbeat (no stethoscope required). Inside the womb, the formation of tiny capillaries is giving baby a healthy pink glow. Baby's also soaking up your antibodies, getting the immune system ready for life outside the womb. Eyes are forming, and baby will soon perfect the blink -- perfect for batting those freshly grown lashes.
