Due date:  9.11.14

How far along:  25 Weeks!

Next appointment:  4 Weeks from now which is the beginning of the 3rd trimester!

Gender:  Baby Boy who now has a name...

Exercise: We just finished doing a ton of walking while on vacation. 

Stretch marks: A few, very little so far.

Swelling: Feet last week while walking 10+ miles a day...

Maternity clothes:  yes and a few specialty ones:

Belly button:  Still in...

Sleep: pretty good, feeling more rested...

Food cravings:  nothing much, just thirsty related cravings, ice tea, coke, water, ice. 

Symptoms:  no symptoms really, just a growing belly.

Movement:  Baby moves, moves all day, he's super active, even the midwife said so... he goes and steps on her bladder, against her back, etc. I feel him too, its pretty cool.

What I She misses:  This weekend she realized how much she cant do, especially being able to walk for longer periods of time, being overall, less tired and just being able to do normal activities at the same pace as before. 

What I She's loving:  Pink Lemonade

What I She's looking forward to:  Baby's arrival! soon soon!!

Best moment this week: We enjoy feeling the little guy moving around so much. I also feel like because I talk to him so much that he can actually hear me and recognize my voice. It's been proven that babies can actually recognize familiar voices. My goal is for this little dude to know me by the time he comes out into the world. 

News: Milestones:  Words of wisdom: pregnancy is a journey that for us has been so different than others around us. So far we have experienced a harder pregnancy than some of our friends but as we have come to know, certainly, not the worst pregnancy. We are so blessed that overall we can say everything has gone well. Baby M is growing quickly and his movement is amazing. We are so excited and anxious to meet our little bubba. 

I love you !

Your mom and dad love each other so much! We have so much fun when we're together!
