25 Weeks

Only 15 weeks left until baby girl arrives!  I had my check-up at 24 weeks which went well.  Belly seemed to be the right size, BP was lowish, and baby's heartbeat was 140 beats per minute. 

How far along?: 25 weeks
Total weight gain:13lbs with boots at 24 week appointment.  I normally wear small flats, so I'm definitely blaming the extra weight gain on the big boots, haha.
How big is baby?: About 9 inches and 1.7lbs.  She also reached "minimum viability age" at 24 weeks!
Maternity clothes?: Yes!  Non-maternity shirts I can wear in public are getting very sparse.  I'm getting creative with tanks/cardigans/scarves to stretch this wardrobe for the next 3-4 months.
Stretch marks? Nope.
Sleep?: Pretty good.  I'm starting to wake up to turn over at night, especially if I'm on my back. 
Best moment this week?: Getting baby girl's room cleaned out.  We completely moved Gabrielle into her new room (the old toy room).  Now we just need a dresser and closet so we can get her clothes moved too.  After Christmas we will paint baby's room and keep making progress!
Movement?:  More movement all the time.  Still mostly when I lay down and very low.  Nick doesn't feel the baby too much but randomly put his hand on my belly and felt a strong kick a couple of weeks ago.
Food cravings?: Chocolate sounds good!  This pregnancy maple syrup, chocolate syrup, etc which normally I don't care for much sound so good! 
Labor signs?: I'm just starting to get some Braxton Hicks contractions once in while during the past week.  They don't hurt at all, the belly just gets very hard. 
Belly button in or out? Innie, but start to get pushed out a bit.
What I miss: Now that I look obviously pregnant, most every patient at work comments and asks "Oh is this your first?".  When I reply, "No, it's my third" and they have a look of horror on their face.....I may lose it.  I'm going to start lying soon.
What I'm looking forward to: Painting baby girl's room!  I'm doing gray, gold, and light pink in her room and I think it will be so pretty!  I'm reusing lots of Gabrielle's baby stuff in the new room and we already have an unopened can of gray paint we can use (then just do a light pink accent wall).
