25 Weeks

*How far along?: 25 weeks
*How big is your baby?: an eggplant...9 inches long & about 1 1/2lbs. "Let your spouse put an ear to your belly- he might be able to pick up the 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 of the womb. Eyes are forming and baby will soon perfect the blink- perfect for batting those freshly grown lashes."

*Total weight gain?: We will find out in a few weeks...I have been trying to stay off the scale...I am guessing 15-18 pounds....

*Sex: Girl!! Sally!!
*Maternity clothes: almost everything. I can still wear a few normal shirts and dresses.
*Stretch marks: None yet! I have been lathering up....seems to be doing the trick!
*Sleep: I am sleeping great. I have been really tired the past few nights. I am still getting up almost every two hours to pee.

*Best moment this week: Getting a bag of baby girl clothes from a co-worker and walking 8 miles....I can still do it! We also got the chair in and Joe painted the changing table.

*Movement: She has been moving a lot lately. Joe finally felt her this week...that was super cool!
*Food cravings: pizza, salad, Halloween candy!!
*Labor signs: nope
*Belly button in or out: in
*What I miss: not much right now...trying to enjoy this whole process!
*What I'm looking forward to: Spending time with Joe this week!!
