Bumpdate: 25 Weeks!

2 more weeks until Spring Break...2 more weeks...I can do this!

The countdown on my phone says we are less than 100 days away from our due date!  Seriously, how did that happen?  I am getting so so excited to meet this little baby.  My kids at school, especially the 4th graders, keep saying they want me to have the baby now.  I have to remind them that it's not done baking yet and that I'm not ready for it to come out yet either.

How far along: 25 Weeks
Gender: It's a baby!
Weight gain: About 15 pounds
Maternity clothes: Maternity pants and a mix of regular/maternity shirts.  Maternity shirts are still too big in the stomach, but my regular shirts are stretching to the max!
Stretch marks: A few on my hips, but none on my stomach.
Belly button in or out: In, but seriously stretched.
Sleep: Still sleeping really well.
Best moment this week: Feeling baby move a whole bunch.  It's so weird, but honestly the coolest thing ever.  I love watching my stomach move.  Also, we had free dress all week this week.  Wearing jeans to school has been AMAZING!
Worst moment this week: I don't think I really had one, besides just general stressful stuff.
Miss anything: Sleeping on my back.  I wake up on my back a few times a week, it's so hard not to sleep that way.
Movement: Yes!  Mostly at night, but this week baby has been moving more during the day.
Cravings: Today I needed to get a frosty and some fries from Wendy's. Yum!
Queasy or sick: Feeling good!
Looking forward to: The weekend
