25 weeks and down to double digits!

HOLY CRAPOLA! 99 days until my due date! I'm kinda freaking out!!

My mornings: It's so nice not having to wake up at 4 a.m.

My nights: I wish I could sleep better but oh well. Such is the life of a pregnant lady. 

How far along: 25 weeks. 99 days to go!

How big is baby: Baby He-Man is 13.5 inches and 1.5 pounds. I can't believe I am already in the poundage levels! He is the size of a rutabaga but I have no idea what a rutabaga is.

Weight:
Starting weight: 130
Total weight gain: 23
This week: 153

How I’m changing: My baby belly keeps growing and getting wider. It's filling out more and getting tighter and tighter. 

What I miss: Warm weather.

Symptoms: Headaches. Gas. Heartburn. Constant peeing.

Cravings: I'm into cold things lately. Ice cream, Popsicles, iced coffee, frozen yogurt, etc

Food Aversions: Nothing.

Highlights this week: DH finally got to feel the baby move!!! I was so excited. He only felt it once, but it was nice that he is finally able to feel him. Plus, the baby is moving and shaking in my belly. I drank some apple juice one night and thought I caused an earthquake in my uterus. It was crazy to watch my belly move like that. Next time I can get him to do it, I will record it. 

Maternity clothes: Yep. Love them.

Stretch marks: I think I am getting them on both my butt cheeks.

Sleep: I wish it was better, and really wish my hips didn't hurt so bad. 

Movement: Holy cow. I can feel him all the time now. It's awesome. 

Gender: We're Team He-Man!!

Labor signs: I think I am getting a few Braxton Hicks, but nothing bad yet.

Belly button: I will still be an innie for a while, but I can tell that it's changing.

What I am looking forward to: I am looking forward to the final stretch and all the things that need to get done. But I am also scared that I won't get everything completed. Rationally, I know that's not true.

Milestones: I was really excited that DH got to feel him kick. He's all over the place now with kicking and moving so I am loving this stage. It's awesome to just sit and enjoy the private time with my little guy. 

I know I don't show my face here much, so enjoy this photo. :)
