25 Week BumpWatch!

How far along? 25 weeks, 2 days!

Weight gain/loss: Hovering around 20 lbs.  I hope it stays there for a few more weeks.

Feeling: My back has really started to bother me.  Only on the lower left side - my usual spot. 

Sleep: It's becoming more and more challenging because of the back pain.  The only position that feels comfortable is sleeping on my back.  But, I'm not supposed to do that, so I allow myself to rest on my back for short intervals so I can get some sleep.

Food cravings: Nothing in particular lately.  I'm still snacking on my usual Lucky Charms, chips, and various ice cream/popsicles.

Movement? All the time!  In fact, baby just had the hiccups last night for the first time (or first time that I felt).  It was pretty exciting!  Scott has felt some outside movement too, which is always fun.

What I miss? Beer.  Beer.  Beer.

Best moment this week: Deciding on a name last Thursday evening!  You can see it above in the picture!  And booking the newborn photographer too.  Crossing things off the list!

What I'm looking forward to: Being done with school/work!  Only 5 more work days for me and I'm done until I come back from maternity leave in late November/early December.

Next Appointment: Tomorrow morning for my 3 hour fasting glucose screening since I failed the 1 hour.  I did that with Sean too, so I'm not worried.  Everything will be just fine. 

Milestones: Baby Evan is the size of a cauliflower.  If we were able to see it, his hair now has a distinct color and texture that he'll have at birth.  How exciting!  A little redhead?!  Yeah, right.
