How far along? 25 weeks, 2 days

Total weight gain/loss: +8 (I was right about that 1lb per week thing. darn. I was hoping it would be less!)

Maternity clothes? I can still wear 2 of my regular jeans without having to unbutton them, but most of my shirts are starting to look too short because of the tummy. Definitely going to sprinkle in more maternity clothing this week

Stretch marks? nope

Sleep: I usually fall asleep between 11:30 and midnight, and unless I work the next day, I get up around 9am. I wake up 3 or 4 times in the night, but am still managing to get between 7 and 8 hours of sleep. When I work the next day, I get about 6 hours.

Best moment this week: Yesterday I had my glucose test, and absolutely nothing happened. Tim and I sat there for the hour waiting for me to faint, puke, shake uncontrollably or all of the above; I felt fine.  It was a good moment because I’d been dreading the darn test since I found out I was pregnant!

Movement: A few days ago I decided to test out a trick;  I pushed on one side and he’d kick the other. We did this for about five minutes before he got annoyed.

Food cravings: cereal! Tim and I were at Safeway and I couldn’t pick just ONE cereal (though, neither could he!). I have Lucky Charms, Fruit Loops and Corn Pops. He’s got Ohs! and Cinnamon Toast Crunch.

Gender: boy

Labor Signs: n/a

Belly Button in or out? still in, but the end is definitely more visible

What I miss: I miss sleeping at night on my tummy, and whatever other side I felt like without worrying that I might be hurting the baby. 

What I am looking forward to: a lazy afternoon today!

Weekly Wisdom: exercise is key! Take the dog for a walk, use the steps in your house to do some step aerobics, buy some 3lb weights to use while you watch tv! I try to do something every single day to keep fit. Will make it that much easier to lose the baby weight after.

Milestones: Stabler had a cold and it was very sad!  It was the first time he’d ever been sick, so we were worried. I don’t know how he even caught it, he’s indoors all the time!  In baby-world, Marco weighs 1 1/2 lbs and is about 13 1/2 inches long.
