25 and counting.

   Things are just rolling along over here. Harrison is enrolled in THREE year old preschool next year. It's just nuts. Baby Girl is doing her thing; growing, moving and starting to give me heartburn. Spring is (hopefully) around the corner. Here is our current update:

22wks - Catching some rays with Baby Girl.

How far Along: 25 wks 4 days

Total weight gain/loss: 11 lbs gained total! (Still no idea how this has happened... )

Maternity clothes? Yes - everything all the time except for bed. Thank goodness for XL shirts.

Stretch marks? New ones - no. Old ones - still there...

Sleep: Since Baby Girl is on the move, I find she likes to dance when I like to go to sleep. Sleep is hit or miss. 

Best moment of the week: Learning I didn't gain 25lbs last month. 

Have you told family and friends: Yep!

Miss anything: Sleeping. Putting on shoes/socks easily. 

Movement: Yes, right on my bladder usually. Thank you sweet child.

25.5wks - Please excuse my wet hair.
I'm trying to hide it with the phone. 

Food cravings: Water. Ice cream for dessert. String cheese. Yogurt. Cinnamon raisin bagel chips. 

Anything make you queasy or sick: If I don't eat enough or fast enough, I will start to feel gross. 

Have you started to show yet: Yes. Feeling like a house. 

Gender: After 3 different doctor appts, still a girl.

Labor signs: No.

Belly button in or out: In.

Wedding rings on or off: Off - luckily I have another ring that fits. 

Happy or Moody most of the time: A little of both. Really tired for sure.
Looking forward to: Warmer spring weather. I can't wait for open windows and lots of lazy naps!

At our last appt, the doctor gave us the hospital packet. For a second, I freaked out a bit. When did we get so far along that I'm ready for the hospital packet?! Of course we don't do our paper work until 34wks or so but still. I actually forgot last Tuesday was 25wks. When I did the math and realized only 15 (or less) wks to go, another anxiety attack. Everything seems so much closer now. I probably should start reading those books again. I don't remember everything. 

The goal in the next month is to get Baby Girl's bedding under control (curse you Pottery Barn for sucking me in) and her furniture. Of course Harrison will need to move rooms too. I'm interested to see how that will go. 

Enough freak-outs for today,
