Pregnancy: 25 Week Update

I had my 25 week OB appointment today. Everything is going really well. The doctor says baby girl has a really strong heart beat.

Joey really wanted to climb up on the table with me at the Doctor's office.

How far along: 25 weeks

Total weight gain: 18 lbs

Most recent belly shot: 23 Weeks

Movement: Lots of it, especially in my lower rib cage. She loves to kick when I sit in the living room while Uncle Matt practices the piano.

Food cravings: None, except for the other night when I had a serious hankering for a chocolate chip chewy bar (for some reason it had to be Quaker brand, too). I made David drive me to wal-mart, and I ripped open the box right after we checked out. I ate three of those little suckers on the way home, one of which was in my stomach before we even made it back out to the car! I haven't touched them since either, because they don't sound good to me anymore.

One of my favorite things: Joey may not understand what is going on, but I love when he gives my belly hugs and kisses and either calls her by name or calls her "little sissy".

Over-all I'm feeling really great right now in this pregnancy. I'm eating healthy and exercising moderately, and I'm hungry ALL THE TIME. I haven't really felt and "pregnancy" aches and pains yet but I am sure they'll come in the third trimester. I still get really morning sick at nights, to the point where it's started to wake me up after I fall asleep, but it doesn't really bother me that much for some reason.

I'm so excited to meet this little girl!
