25 weeks!

Here is a bumpdate from this morning, sans my photographer since he had already left for work. 

How far along?: 25 weeks

Weight gained?: 12 pounds

Showing yet?: Yep! 

Clothes?: All maternity pants, mostly maternity tops

Cravings?: Sweets. I think because I had my GTT today, I told myself to cut back, so I craved them. Of course! 

Adversions?: Nothing...

Sleep?:  Much better since Hubs and I switched sides of the bed. It's getting harder to get in bed with all my pillows, though! 

Gender?:  GIRL!!!

Movement?: Yes! Love when I'm laying down to sleep or get up in the AM and she gets moving, since Hubs can feel her moving about! 

Symptoms?: Stuffy nose, tired/sore legs, and being tired. I asked the Dr. about this weird leg pain, and he said that your body is straining itself in every way possible, and your legs have to carry it all around. Going to start propping my legs up at night to help relieve the pain. 

Wedding Rings on or off?: On! 

Belly Button in or out?: In

Happy Tuesday!! Hubs and I got a lot done this weekend, along with a lot of help from my parents. Saturday morning, the ladies in my family got Mani/Pedi's. It was so nice to have a leg/foot massage, especially since I've been having some leg pain lately (more on that lately). 

We went out for lunch and poked around some local boutiques and a children's consignment shop. I got our Baby Girl some really cute, barely worn outfits for much cheaper than at the regular store! 

My dad came over to help Hubs sand, prime and paint the dresser for the nursery. Meanwhile, my mom cleaned our bathroom, bedroom and hardwoods. We're so blessed to have extremely helpful parents! I haven't had much energy during the week to do smaller housekeeping items when I get home from work, so this was a huge help. 

On Sunday, Hubs had our contractor neighbor come over to discuss refinishing our basement. We've always wanted to refinish it, but were putting it off. Apparently now is the right time to finish it, 6 months pregnant and all! 

I was off on Monday and my mom came over so we could start cleaning out the basement. We boxed up all of our junk so that my dad and Hubs could take it to the garage. 

This morning I had my Glucose Tolerance Test, followed by my 4-week prenatal visit. 

I will say that the juice isn't as bad as many people make it out to be. Fingers crossed I don't need to do the 3-hour test...

Baby girl had a healthy heart beat and after my next appointment in February, we start our bi-weekly appointments. So crazy!!
