How far along:
25 weeks and a few days! How many of you noticed I totally skipped over 24 weeks? I have been trying to do updates every 3 weeks, but...woops.
Total weight gain:
I have gained about 8 pounds since last time! My goodness! My body finally decided to start making up for losing a bunch and a slow start. So that puts me at about 5 gained total.
Size and growth of the baby:
About the size of a rutabaga! A little over a foot long and 1 and a half pounds!
Sex:
BOY!
Yes. Give me all things comfy.
Sleep:
We have been sleeping in our guest bed, and I have been sleeping ok, but that bed is so much more firm than ours and my pregnant body is starting to notice. My back and neck have been hurting for several days. We finally made the transition to our new room last night...and it was heavenly. So comfy!
Best moment(s) of the week:
Best moment(s) of the week:
Our room is finished! It feels so good to make some progression in the chaos.
Up next: new nursery!
Up next: new nursery!
Movement:
Yes, definite movement :)
I have a hard time figuring out how he is positioned, because he literally moves all over my entire stomach.
He had the hiccups for the first time (or at least the first time I could feel them) the other day :)

Food cravings/aversions:
My appetite has been pretty good, which has been nice!
Also...Matt found this new candy apple flavored pop. YUM!
Jena - you need to try it! It tastes very similar to Mexico Manzana!
Morning sickness:

Morning sickness:
Just depends on what I eat, but its pretty much fine.
Symptoms:
Symptoms:
My doctor is still concerned about the heart palpitations, so he referred me to a cardiologist. They took some blood and ran a lot of tests. I have to wear a heart monitor for 2 weeks :(
Other than that I have been having normal aches and pains. My back is starting to feel the effects of pregnancy.

Labor signs :
A lot of contractions...also concerning to my doctor, but he thinks it might be related to what is also causing my heart to race.
Belly button in or out:
I can't believe it, but that sucker is OUT already!
What I miss:
I have felt really good the last few weeks. I am so thankful!
I miss being able to roll over in bed...or do anything with my ab muscles.
I am at the point in pregnancy now where your abs are pretty much useless and you have to use your arms to assist in any movement.
I'm also at the point where putting on socks and shoes is getting hard. Ugh!
What I'm looking forward to:

What I'm looking forward to:
I know its a way off still, but I am looking forward to our next ultrasound.
I almost asked the tech who was taking an ultrasound of my heart if I could get a peek at the baby...but decided not to.
Also looking forward to this fall weather and fun fall activities!
