Week 25

How far along? 25 Weeks

Total weight gain/loss: 17 lbs. + 

Maternity clothes? yes and it's getting harder to fit into my regular sweaters and top

Sleep: Still pretty good

Miss Anything? Leberwurst, Red Wine, Sushi

Movement: movements are continuously getting stronger. Tommy was even able to see my belly move now when the baby kicks :)

Food cravings: cheese, cookies, chocolate

Anything making you queasy or sick: nope

Symptoms: not really other than my growing belly

Mood: Happy, little more emotional than usually

Energy: feeling great, although I can feel I get tired a lot faster and it's getting harder to move around with my growing belly. We went on a snowshoe hike the other day, since we got hit with a last big snow storm of the season and 2 ft of fresh snow. The 45 min loop we usually take, turned into an almost 2 hour trek due to the high amount of snow. Half way through I could really feel my energy level drop and got really tired. I even started feeling some mild cramps :( I laid down right away when we got home and the cramps immediately went away, but I felt really exhausted for the rest of the day. I guess it was just too much and I over exerted myself. Have to make sure I don't do too much. It's just hard to gauge, since I feel really good and then all of the sudden hit a wall and get super exhausted without warning. 

Looking forward to: Setting up the Baby's room. We started thinking about art work and pictures we want to put up on the walls. So incredible that we will have a new family member moving into our house soon ;) I wonder how Haley and Liam will feel about that. 

Favorite Moment: Romantic Night! Tommy decided we needed some time to ourselves, so he put a playlist with love songs together, lit some candles and opened up a bottle of non-alcoholic sparkling cider while we cuddled up in bed. We have to take advantage of our alone time while we still can :)
