25 Weeks


Sweet Gabriella, meet mom's ribs.  They are the bones above you that are aparently cramping your space.  It may come as a surprise to you, but they ARE in fact attached and I DO in fact have to keep them.  Please be gentle.  
I love you (and your kicks), Mommy

How far along:  25 weeks
Gender:  Girl
Movement:  Oh so much movement!  
Weight Gain: 4 pounds
Maternity Clothes:  Full on maternity clothes now!  This belly is getting big!
Stretch Marks:  No
Sleeping Habits:  Sleeping is getting harder and I am wanting it more!
Miss Anything:  Bending over without getting out of breath!
Appetite:  Normal.  Still small meals and snacks throughout the day. 
Cravings:  Non fat, decaf, iced white mocha, whip first, then shake!
Symptoms:  Extra tired and unfortunately very moody. (poor Daddy!)
Belly Button:  Flat - and weird looking hah!
Mood:  Depends on the hour, but I'm enjoying all the kicks, punches and stretching!  
Favorite Moments:  Our 3/4D ultrasound.  Just look at that sweet face!  She has my nose and chin we think, but definitely her dad's very busy personality.  She had her umbilical cord nicely piled on her chest, clinging tightly to it and even trying to suck on it.  Technology these days amazes me!
