I must admit - I haven't been the best at documenting my pregnancy. From the beginning I meant to take the weekly belly shot and journal, but I think my tiredness has gotten the best of me because all I want to do when I get home from work is put on some sweats, pull my hair back and take a nap! Needless to say by the time hubs gets home I do NOT feel picture perfect. I figure journaling it all on here may be the best way to keep me accountable through these last few weeks!

| 24+ weeks |
How far along? 25 Weeks, 2 days
Total weight gain: Doctor yesterday showed a 13lb gain... Seeing that number on a scale is a little shocking still, but I'm totally ok with it as long as little miss is good! Haha and this question is ONLY appropriate during pregnancy :)
Maternity clothes? Uh oh...How did you know?! I just happened to buy the most uh-mazing pair of maternity jeans the other day - seriously, they are like a little piece of heaven wrapped in denim. They just happened to be a teeeeeensy little bit outside the price point I was hoping to spend. Oops...Worth it though, right?! Seriously, moms to be - AG jeans from Pea in the Pod are a must have!
Stretch marks? None. Good genes, I guess. Thanks, Mom.
Sleep: Sleep has never been a problem for me and I don't see it turning into one! I do wake up at least once a night to go to the bathroom, and with that normally comes a little restlessness. But I don't have too much trouble falling back to sleep quickly! Plus I'm still loving my daily after-work naps :)
Best moment this week: Getting to see her at the doctor yesterday! I was supposed to go last week, but my doc tore his achilles tendon (Eeeks!!), so we had to wait another week. Which felt like an ETERNITY! I love just getting to see her and see how she's grown! I go back in 3 weeks for my glucose test (fingers crossed).
Miss Anything? This week I am reallyyyy wanting a hot dog!! So random. There is a coney place right downstairs from my office and it always smells absolutely delish when I walk past it. I know an occassional hot dog isn't a big deal, but I'm really trying to stay away from nitrates as much as possible, and I would much rather have them in bacon or pepperoni form, so hot dogs just aren't making the cut. Soon enough :)
Movement: Yes! She is such a mover and a shaker :) One of my favorite things is just sitting still and watching my belly move. Such an amazing feeling.
Food cravings: Not really. I am finally able to stomach the thought of chicken, but I'm not really craving anything. Although I did see a huge jar of those pickles they sell at concession stands and stuff at the grocery store a couple days ago and thought I was gonna break open the jar right then and start devouring. You will be happy to know - I held back. I am also loving sweet stuff, which is so different from the start of my pregnancy. I could've cared LESS for sweets during the first trimester and most of the 2nd. The love for sweets came back just in time for girl scout cookie season :)
Symptoms: Growing belly count?
Anything making you queasy or sick: Nada.
Labor Signs: Nope!
Wedding rings on or off? On
Happy or Moody most of the time: So excited, I/we can be nothing but happy!!! I am slightly more emotional than usual (which Ricky can attest to...)
Looking forward to: 3rd trimester - starting doctor visits every 2 weeks - all signs that we are getting closer to meeting her!...Which also means I REALLY need to get on the nursery!!
