Week 25

March 10-16, 2014

How far along: 25 weeks  

Total weight gain:  I am hoping just a pound from last week.  I notice I eat more when we go out to eat, which is something we do once or twice a week.  I feel healthy and since starting Lent I have been doing yoga and that is making me feel healthier.

Maternity clothes: Yes and yes.  I am loving being able to wear maternity jeans to switch up from legging (even though they are super comfortable).  Even my regular bedtime and college shirts are getting small.

Stretch marks: No, and lathering up in coconut oil and belly butter.

Sleep:  I wake up throughout the night to roll over but luckily no regular bathroom breaks. 

Best moments this week: This weekend we celebrated St. Patrick’s day and I loved being pregnant and celebrating with our friends.  I love looking at the pictures we took and seeing my little (but fast growing ) baby belly.

Miss anything: During the St. Patrick’s party everyone was having mimosas and boy did they look great!  I enjoyed my orange juice and water but loved watching everyone drink their mimosas.

Food cravings:  Nothing this week but I am enjoying a banana with my breakfast every morning.

Anything making you queasy: Nothing making me queasy but I have not been a fan of eating most of our leftovers (they just do not sound as good as they did when we made them for dinner).

Gender: Baby Boy!

Labor signs: Braxton Hicks contractions (which I have been feeling more during the day).

Belly button in or out: Belly button is fully out and stretching.  I am surprised when I touch it an realize how soft my belly button feels.

Wedding rings on or off: Wedding rings on.

Happy or moody: Very happy except when I do not get enough sleep at night (which seems to be at least one night a week).

Looking forward to: In less than a month is my Orange County baby shower, and I am so excited to see my family and friends.
