25 Weeks Survey

How far along? 25 weeks down, 15 to go! (wow- that's kinda scary!)

Total weight gain/loss: lots- 20 lbs so far:/

Maternity clothes? Still in 'em. Don't see this changing. Ever.

Stretch marks? Yes, Brian lovingly pointed some out I hadn't noticed yet.

Sleep: Yes please!

Best moment this week: Sid getting antsy about the cat sleeping on my tummy. Not sure if he was trying to play or trying to kick Lucky off of my stomach.

Movement: Still mostly active when I'm going to bed. He's a night owl!

Food cravings: Edy's Strawberry fruit bars, Sonic Strawberry cream slush, strawberry jam, strawberries in general- but oddly, strawberry milk makes me want to gag.

Gender: Still a boy ( man, I gotta find a survey that mixes it up a bit!)

Labor Signs: Some BH, but they've gone away since I've been drinking over a 100oz of water a day.

Belly Button in or out? In and holding.

What I miss: Moving with ease.

What I am looking forward to: Getting the nursery ready.

Weekly Wisdom: Drink as much water as humanly possible. Then have one more glass.

Milestones: Nothing new this week, but getting closer to the 3rd trimester.

25 Weeks

Head to heels, your baby now measures about 13 1/2 inches. His weight — a pound and a half — isn't much more than an average rutabaga, but he's beginning to exchange his long, lean look for some baby fat. As he does, his wrinkled skin will begin to smooth out and he'll start to look more and more like a newborn. He's also growing more hair — and if you could see it, you'd now be able to discern its color and texture.
