25 weeks

Well, didnt get the snow day we were hoping for, and needless to say, the kids were wanting it just as much as the teachers. They were CRAZY this week. It certainly didnt help that this week was Catholic Schools Week. We were only in school for 3.5 days, but like it has lately, it felt like an eternity. Blah.

I felt a ton of kicks this week and I just love that feeling. It will never get old. I went out shopping last weekend and found some super cute onsies on sale for #2. Of course I had to pick up a shirt for Karsen so he didnt feel left out! I have to wonder how it is possible, but he has gotten more and more fun as the days pass. He really enjoys standing on the dining room chairs so he can get a good vantage point of the whole room. We even have to drag the chair out into the kitchen so he can "help" get dinner ready. He babbles and talks more and more every day. We understand most of what he says, but still struggle with a few things. Below are some pics of the cutie!

He can see everything!

Such a daredevil!

LOVES the slide!

Made it to the top!...but never actually slid down...

Another slide, but just as fun!

Shopping with mom and dad at Lowe's.

Bubbles!

My cutie!

Bath time fun. A soap beard!

It is hard to believe that I am at 25 weeks this weekend! I had an appointment earlier this week and everything is going great! Good heartbeat, and measuring on time. At my next appointment in 4 weeks, I will do the glucose test. I failed the 1 hour test with Karsen, but passed the 3 hour test. I hope to pass the first test and be done this time, but we will see. 

How far along? 25 weeks. Size of a rutabaga...whatever that is!

Total weight gain: At my appointment on Tuesday I was still at 9 pounds gained. I was able to get out and walk a few times last weekend so hopefully that helped burn off some extra calories.

Maternity clothes: Maternity jeans and tops...and elastic pants!

Sleep: Sleep has been good. I have been EXHAUSTED by the time 7p hits, so when I go upstairs for bed at 9p, I have no issue falling asleep. 

Best moment this week: Hearing the heartbeat at the appointment Tuesday.

Miss anything? Still wine. Always wine.

Movement: Stronger kicks!

Food cravings: Still heavy on the sweets but not as much as in weeks past.

Symptoms: No real symptoms. Occasional stomach tightening with stress, otherwise feeling great!

Belly button in or out? In. 

Wedding rings on or off? On and comfortable.

Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy to be home with Karsen and Bruce...moody at school...

Looking forward to: Lent starts this week. I am looking forward to Ash Wednesday and another short week. We have conferences on Thursday afternoon but Friday is a day off! Woot!
