Bumpdate ~ Week 25

I'm a little behind in writing Week 25's post. We took our picture, but I just have not had time to sit down and write. Monday nights are my only night at home. Tuesday night we have our church small group, Wednesday night I have class, and Thursday night is my photography class. So I am jam-packed!! I finally had some time to write tonight, so here it is...Week 25!

• Week 25
• Baby is the size of a : cauliflower
• Weight :  1.46  lb. / Length :  13.62  in. (from crown to heel)(average size)
• Little man can hear our voices now and distinguish between them. He may even move to the sound of our voices or music! (We'll have to try that and see.) His lungs are developing and he is taking small breaths of amniotic fluid. Baby's veins are still visible through his skin, but this will change soon as his skin becomes less opaque. Over 50% of baby's energy will be used to develop his growing brain. Baby's eye's are completely developed and his brain is able to register various stimuli such as sound and light.

Gender: BOY!

Weight Gain: Not sure. Somewhere between 19-20 pounds. According to the Dr. I'm right on track. Baby is growing straight out, so I'm pretty happy!

How I Feel: Still feeling good, but I think I am getting into that uncomfortable stage. I don't mind it though. Every time I feel our sweet baby move, I can't help but smile.

• Stretch marks: None.
• Belly button: Still in...surprisingly.
• Other: Nothing that I can think of!

How Daddy's Feeling: Excited!! We get to start the nursery soon and he has been busy planning away! Our little man has been pretty active at night, so Daddy loves to lay in bed at night with his hand on my tummy and feel his son kick and move around. It's the sweetest thing.

Clothing: The same. Not going to lie...I kind of miss the variety of my normal wardrobe, but I've found some adorable maternity clothes and some great deals!

Cravings: Salsa and avocados...still!

Food Aversions: Sweets. They just don't appeal to me! However, chocolate has been on my mind lately.

Movement: Holy cow...this kid. His best times for moving are during the morning when I wake up and at night when I'm going to bed. Those are my favorite times of the day. I wake up and lay in bed and feel him moving around. It's become Mommy and Baby time. At night, our little family lays in bed and is just happy and content. I even felt an arm (or leg) rub across my hand one night. It wasn't a kick, it was definitely a body part. So cool!!

Sleep: Sleeping great!

Best Moment This Week: Feeling specific movements and knowing about where baby is laying.

Worst Moment This Week: Not really anything.

Looking Forward to: Starting the nursery!! So so excited.

What I Miss: Being able to bend over and put my shoes on without feeling like my lungs are squished.

Pregnancy Thoughts this Week:

•  Honestly, I have just been in awe at being pregnant this week. I hope every woman gets to experience this. It's absolutely amazing.

Diet: Still clean eating ~ 80/20. I can't tell you how good I feel when I am putting good nutritious food into my body. I feel more awake, have more energy, and just feel good! Good food, good feeling.

Exercise: Still lifting 4-5 days a week and getting 1-2 cardio days in on top of that. I keep a regular gym schedule of 5-6 days a week. It's funny watching the guys at the gym. They're all used to seeing me there, and now that they know I'm pregnant they are so sweet! It kind of makes me laugh, but it's so sweet. They take all the plates off for me after their done using something. Bless their hearts.
