25 Weeks 4 Days - and belly pic

How far along? 25 weeks and 4 days
Total weight gain/loss: Not sure at this point. I go back to the doctor this week and will find out then. I have been working out about 3-4 times a week though!
Maternity clothes? Yup! Just ordered a few new things from the Gap. Can't wait to get them!
Sleep: I really don't want to jinx it, but it's been pretty good lately. I still wake up 1-2 times a night, but can usually fall right back asleep. It's really nice!
Best moment this week: Last Monday was our very first birth class. It was pretty neat. It's at the hospital and is a 6 week course. We meet on Monday nights from 7-9. Last week we introduced ourselves (it's a HUGE class), the instructor then had us break up - the men and the women. We had to write down all the good and bad things about pregnancy. It was hilarious to hear the good and the bad from the men's point of view. We learned a few things and watched part of a video. The BEST part was the last 15 minutes or so of the class we all got on the floor and our significant others had to relax us. We had to simulate as if we were in pre-term labor. I sat in between his legs and he gave me an amazing massage. It was HEAVEN! I can't wait for that again tonight. hehe.
Food cravings: Still sweet stuff.
Gender: BOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Belly Button in or out? Still getting stretched out.
What I miss: A belly without stretch marks! I'm SOOOOOO sad! I'm getting a ton already and I still have 3 more months to go. I'm kinda freaking out, but I know it will all be worth it. What's a few stretch marks? I keep putting on this cream hoping for a miracle. I even went and spent $35 on the stuff below. It got great reviews, but there is no cream in the world that will make them not happen. I know it's hereditary. I hope maybe it will prevent maybe one?


Here I am at 25 Weeks 1 Day. I cut my head out because I looked like CRAP! My hair wasn't working and I had a funky look on my face. LOL! Here's the belly though!

He's been moving a lot more in the last few days. I guess he was either having a growth spurt for a few days or was just tired! We played a cute game last week. I pushed on my belly and he kicked back! We did this for almost 5 minutes. It was amazing! Speaking of him moving, he's moving right now! Gosh, that feeling never gets old.

24 Weeks 6 Days

How far along? 24 weeks and 6 days
Total weight gain/loss: I think something is wrong with me. No, seriously. I'm gaining weight by just looking at food. I'm going to talk to the doc about this at my next appointment. It's just so weird. I'm working out about 3-4 times a week. Granted, it's only 30 minutes on the elliptical, but I'm not eating terribly. I don't really get it.
Maternity clothes? Wearing a non-maternity dress today and it still fits great. It's an empire waist dress though. Found great maternity pantyhose! Love them!
Sleep: Still about the same. I wake up off and on, but it isn't too bad.
Best moment this week: Ummmmm...
Food cravings: Cinnamon roll! I FINALLY had one last night and it was HEAVEN!!!!!!!!!!!
Gender: BOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Belly Button in or out? Same as last week. It's stretching out, but that's about it.
What I miss: Feeling him move like crazy. He's been pretty quiet the last two days which I HATE! I love when he's a crazy man in there because it makes me feel SO much better. I'm not too worried about it anymore. I know he's going to have his lazy days and stress isn't good for him. He's okay. I felt him once or twice this morning, so I'm not too concerned. I did talk to my nurse who wants me to check on him after lunch. If he doesn't start moving them I think I'm going to go get checked. I'm such a paranoid first time mom! LOL! I'm trying SO hard not to freak out about every little thing. It's so hard though!

I can't believe the ticker says only 106 days left. Wow! Time is flying by! Can't wait to have him here in our arms!
