25 Weeks

Skipped last week...  I'm sure the baby won't mind though. :)

How far along?  25 weeks
Total weight gain/loss:  Prolly up around 20 pounds.  Especially after the ginormous Mexican meal I had a couple of hours ago.  Really really good beef chimichanga.  Mmm.  At least I won't be hungry when I go to bed! :D
Maternity clothes?  Last week I finally bought two pairs of maternity capris.  Now I wear those and dresses every day.  Very comfy.
Stretch marks?  I think extra ones on my butt.  But not totally sure, since I don't look at my bum every day and count all the stretch marks.
Sleep:  Fall asleep pretty quick, and sleep soundly until I have to go pee!
Best moment this week:  I was sitting in the bathroom, touched my stomach, and said, "Babe, you wanna give mama a little kick?"  And I felt one. :) I'm sure it was a fluke, but it made me positively giddy, I started giggling.
Movement:  Yes!  Every day.  What a blessing.
Food cravings:  Still meat. Been very carnivorous...  Meat, especially beef, and eggs.  And I could eat ice cream every day for every meal.
Gender:  Not sure / not telling. :)
Labor Signs:  OK, so I think I've definitely had Braxton Hicks.  It lasted on and off all day on Friday, so I was in bed a lot, trying to ease the pressure.  It is very uncomfortable, and a little unnerving.
Belly Button in or out? In.
What I miss:  Not having to pee so much at night!
What I am looking forward to:  I'm starting to miss my mom.  I'm thrilled she'll be here in less than three months.
Weekly Wisdom:  Panty liners are my best friend.  I bought two boxes as bulk pack at Sam's ages ago, and thought I'd never ever use it up.  Little did I know, I got pregnant, and now I use it all the time.
Milestones:  Viability last week.  Our baby now has a chance of surviving IF something happened.  (But let's keep the baby baking for several more weeks, yes??)
