25 Weeks

25 Weeks!

I've passed "Viability Day" and that third trimester is just getting closer and closer! It's a little crazy to think about how time has flown so quickly.

*How far along?: 25 weeks!
*How big is baby?: A chunky cauliflower.
*Total Weight Gain/Loss: +24. Last time I updated I was up 21 pounds and I wrote the update at 23 weeks. This means in two weeks I've gained 3 months. Joy of joys. I'm really filling out here, eh?
*Maternity Clothes: As often as I can. My regular sized leggings are like "UGH Stop trying to fit in us!!"
*Stretch Marks: None that I can see! I need to be a little more religious about applying my lotion.
*Gender: A BOY.
*Movement: Some days this week were INSANE with movement. Like, he took my breath away with all the karate chopping.
*Sleep?: I've been doing well here. Sleeping lots and even taking naps. =]
*Best moment this week? Having a three day weekend -- a legit one, not one because I called in sick.
*Food cravings?: I grilled hamburgers this week and I thought they were the best thing on the world.
*What I miss: BEACH DAYS. Yes, we went to the beach yesterday... but I don't have a bathing suit that I feel good in... so I just like sit at the beach. Like a weirdo. I don't know if I should just get a regular sized tankini just so I have *something* for the summer.
*Symptoms: Luckily nothing too weird. I do find myself getting out of breath easily and twice this weekend I needed to like sit down because I felt like my heart was going to beat out of my chest. I'm sure this is normal and I'm not dying. Right?
*What I'm Looking Forward To: Putting together the nursery furniture! One day, we will do this.
*Thoughts: Baby Bash Invites go out this week! I'm hoping a good number of people can make it. =]  I also spent an hour on the phone with my mom last night looking at Newborn Halloween Costumes. Really? Is this my life? I couldn't help myself. You get sucked into an ETSY time warp and all of a sudden it's 10 pm and you realized you didn't accomplish anything tonight.

My Journey Thus Far

Where I was...

 Where I've Been...
I'm about 104 days away from my due date if you want to be specific. I just thought 100 days left sounded better. And, you never know, little Cannon could be EARLY. That shirt is holding up well. My tummy definitely is starting to peek out and I'm getting rounder. Before I had a lumpy tum tum I thought! My belly button was holding its ground and not poking out. Now... it's joining the rest of my body.

{Gosh PicMonkey makes some nice collages! The first one was done with Picnik and it obviously is not great quality!}

So... now what? I feel like I need to make some pregnancy related goals to stay on track... not that I'm good with keeping any of my goals, but hey, it's for good measure. It would be fabulous to have the "nursery" set up by the baby shower so we aren't just throwing more boxes and bags into a room.

1. Nursery furniture put together before June 30th
2. VACATION -- In the works. Heading to Key West for a weekend in TWO WEEKS. That sounds like we are leaving for two weeks. I wish. In two weeks, we will be going to Key West for a weekend. There. Better.
3. Don't give up on blogging.
4. Organize paperwork -- i.e., insurance documents, figure out where the tot is going on our insurance, where is our marriage license and my passport btw?,  and for that matter, where are the dog registrations?!
5. Buy curtain rods for the nursery and our living room.

Sounds easy enough for the next upcoming weeks, eh?

Looking amazing, lady! I know it seems overwhelming, like you've gotta accomplish xyz before the baby comes, but don't stress out about it if it doesn't get done. You'll have some down time (maybe). ;)

You look fabulous! Love your photo collages. Doesn't it feel wonderful to reach full viability stage?! I craved hamburgers in the late stages of my pregnancy too! My husband was SO over them by the time I delivered!
