25 Weeks

I didn't really feel like writing this weeks post, but knew I would love looking back on each week. So I decided to write it anyway. I've been feeling pretty insecure about my weight and concerned as to how I have gained so much so fast, I have gained quite a few pounds over the last couple weeks and it hasn't been setting with me well. I understand I will gain weight no problem there but I just want to make sure I am being wise and healthy while nourishing myself and lil man. With that said I have picked up running mostly everyday as well as biking and barre3 and I can't forget around with the girls all day. So I am hoping getting back into a more athletic regimen more frequently it will help my desire to eat better. We picked up a ton of fresh fruit today from the farmers market so I am hoping to snack on that more than anything else.

This week was pretty uneventful and maybe even a little boring pregnancy wise. I have been getting a handful of pretty funny comments from time to time that I wanted to share. 

As we were walking out of church a man asked me if I was pregnant (which was kind of him because clearly I look like I am due any day) and I nodded my head yes while holding Lucy's hand with Alex carrying Ellie. He then asked if it was a boy or girl and Alex and I both said boy at the same time and he looked at Alex shook his hand and said you did it and walked away, we laughed for a while at that one. 

the crowd favorite apparently "Oh Wow you're going to have your hands full" 

Lucy "Hey momma, whens that baby comin out?"

love my girlies

How far along: 25 Weeks

  

Total weight gain: 15 pounds.   

 

 Maternity clothes: nothing yet!

Stretch marks: Just what I've had from the past. I've been using honest belly balm morning and night. 

 

Sleep: Hit and Miss, some nights are really great and others I am tossing and turning and WIDE awake thinking about everything under the sun. Oh and it's getting pretty interesting switching sides ;) 

 

Best moment of this week: spending some quality time with my hunk for our anniversary.    

  

Miss anything: a specific wine from a beautiful winery that I love, craving a date night there and September can't come soon enough. Also I miss being able to run the way I want and use to do. I've been running lately and it definitely doesn't feel awesome for many reasons than I have a baby in my belly. 

 

 Movement: ALL.THE.TIME. He is a rowdy little guy in there.

 

Food cravings: All of it. Yup I eat non stop all day long. It's a problem and I am trying to figure out how to add more protein to my diet so I can hopefully stay full longer.

 

 Anything making you queasy or sick: Nothing this week!    

  

Have you started to show yet: Absolutely!

Gender: BOY!

Labor signs: Braxton hicks have slowed down a bit thank goodness so not to much this week. 

Belly button in or out: IN

Wedding rings on or off: On

  

Happy or moody most of the time: happy and a tid bit anxious for the future.   

Looking forward to: finishing our pergola and having that project put behind us so we can focus on some others before little man arrives. 

We are finishing up a BIG project this weekend hopefully and will be moving on to little mans room and I CANNOT wait! We already have the crib in his room all put together and that makes me so happy. Sometimes I just go in there and look around at his stuff and get super excited to meet him.
