25 Weeks

*How far along? 25 weeks 4 days
*How big is baby? The babies are as big as eggplants during this 6th month.
*Genders? Two boys!
*Total weight gain? I am up around 20 lbs from pre-pregnancy weight. Weight gain has been at a standstill lately.
*Maternity Clothes? All maternity clothes now!
*Stretch marks? None yet – keeping my fingers crossed!
*Sleep? Pretty good – just a few bathrooms breaks each night!
*Movement? Oh yeah – we definitely have our “active” times during the day; there are even times when I believe they are having an all-out punching & kicking fest inside there.
*Food cravings? No strong ”pregnancy” cravings. My appetite is starting to shrink again – I can’t eat as much at one time without feeling over-stuffed.
*Labor signs? None.
*Belly button in or out? It’s “popping” even more this week; I don’t have much of an “innie” left anymore.
*What I miss? Pants that fit. I’m kind of in-between maternity pant sizes right now where some are just too small but the next size is still a little too big.
*What I am looking forward to? Our ultrasound on Wednesday – can’t wait to see the boys again! I’m also very excited for my shower, being thrown by two my good friends, this next Sunday – can’t wait to see everyone.
*Best moment this week? A few different ones this week – my surprise shower at work (which was so nice of my co-workers to throw for me), my first family/friends shower on Saturday (we had a great turnout & received a ton of awesome gifts for the boys) and finding out that my uncle’s kidney-removal surgery went well (please keep my uncle in your prayers this week for a speedy recovery).
