25 Weeks: Back in Ohio

How far along? 25 Weeks
Vegetable equivalent (according to What to Expect iPhone app): Eggplant
Total weight gain/loss:  10  lbs. Steadily one pound per week at this point!
Maternity clothes?: There are still some normal clothes I'm in but that part of the closet is becoming less and less! I'm trying to look for some cute and non-work maternity dresses for my upcoming baby showers.
Stretch marks? Nope.
Sleep: This week I headed back home (Maumee, Ohio) and had some of the best nights of sleep I'd had in a long time. I'm finding a position on my side is the best, plus with some regular workouts this week, my body needed some extra sleep.

Best moment this week: It's always nice to come home and see my family, but it was especially nice seeing my dad after not seeing him in so long since he had been working in Dubai. Since the weather was so snowy and cold up here, we primarily just hung around the house, watched movies and caught up. Everyone is very excited for this little guy to be here!
It was also so wonderful to meet Holly's daughter, Adalynn. She was so tiny and sweet and it was incredible to think my little man would be here in just a few months.
Miss Anything? We went to one of my favorite restaurants here, Mancy's Bluewater Grille, and I found myself really wanting the oysters. Only a few more months!
Movement: All the time. His aunts-to-be got to feel him move.
Food cravings: Barry's bagels (but that's no different than pre-pregnancy cravings when I'm home)
Anything making you queasy or sick: Not this week.
Labor Signs: No
Belly Button in or out? In, but getting flat.
Wedding rings on or off? On all the time.
Happy or Moody most of the time: Slightly anxious, we had lots to do and knowing I'm nearing my third trimester in just a couple of weeks, it hit home! Thankfully my amazing husband spent the week painting the nursery so I'm looking forward to getting the nursery together this week.
Also, I had been slacking in the workout department, but I got in two very long elliptical workouts this week and it really made me feel more energetic and mobile than before. It's hard to workout when you're pregnant, but I always feel so much better after I do.
Weekly Wisdom: Holly gave me a lot of great advice when I saw her, considering her infant is only a week old she's learned some valuable lessons. One of those was make sure you get lots of spit up cloths, and cloth diapers work well for this!
Looking forward to: Putting together the nursery and relaxing with Clint next weekend. I feel like the time is flying so fast I want to spend some quality time together!
