25 Weeks

How far along? 25 Weeks
Total weight gain: 19 lbs + (going to the doctor this week and dreading the scale...)
Maternity clothes? all maternity pants at this point and leggings continue to be my favorite.  Some shirts I'm just buying a size up from my normal (I can usually do that at Old Navy)...plus empire waists seem to still be in at the moment.  I'm also trying to stretch some of my winter sweaters (because who wants to buy maternity sweaters??) Even wore some maternity work out pants to Zumba this week (thanks Mom!)
Stretch marks? Yes, still just on my thighs, but you better believe I'm rubbing the lotion all over my belly at this point.  How will my skin continue to stretch for three more month??? CRAZY!
Sleep: sleeping pretty good - I think it's the cold weather and flannel sheets!
Best moment this week: Rob and I went to Target and were able to pick out a floor lamp, shelves, and a mirror (plus a new toy for Pecan...haha!) and it was really great getting the last few things that will help us decorate for the nursery.  We are just feeling so excited for baby boy to make his arrival!!  Also, we had the best day on Saturday - 2 mile morning hike at the Scioto Adubon Center, lunch at the Mohawk (in German Village, where Rob got the stew that he talks about all the time) and then to Pistachia Vera bakery for some macarons!! Then at night, we had our Employee Recognition Dinner for the Zoo - super fun!
Miss Anything? It's crazy and I never thought I would say this, but I miss exercising (real exercising with ab work) and running.  We had some warm weather this week and I saw lots of joggers out and about and it made me really jealous of a lot of things -- their stamina, fit bodies, and ability to run far.  I'm planning on getting back to running (easy to say now) but who knows how I will fit that in.  Zumba at the Zoo did start back this week and I did participate.  :)  Felt really great afterward!  Little man must like dance music because he was really active afterwards!
Movement: all the time - and more pronounced at this point.
Food cravings: still sweets (hello Valentine candy) and I'm about to run to the grocery store for more chocolate milk!!  
Anything making you queasy or sick: Just the smell of tuna fish or Pecan's wet cat food :(
Gender: Boy
Labor Signs: No
Symptoms: Still a funky rib pain that I'm planning to ask the doctor about.  The heartburn has subsided slightly.  I'm out of breath more frequently than I used to be.
Belly Button in or out? still in (thank goodness!!)
Wedding rings on or off? wedding ring on.
Happy or Moody most of the time: Truly happy most of the time :)  Still feeling like there is lots to do (but I always feel like that).
Looking Forward to: Have lunch with Lynn and baby Will on Monday.  Getting the nursery all put together and decorated :)  Seeing my parents this weekend....we are going to wash lots of baby clothes, craft, and eat my favorite Dayton foods!  Rob is going to stay in Columbus and work on his "honey do" list (he's real excited.... :)  But, he did agree that if he will be painting, sanding, caulking etc. it's probably best that I not be around.
