25 Weeks
**Bump picture to follow**
How far along? 25 weeks (and 2 days)
Total weight gain: *Fingers in ears* La la la. No change since last week so that’s positive
Maternity clothes? You bet! They’re just so much more comfortable at this point. I’m not even wearing my old pajama pants anymore. I’m wearing Josh’s and they’re so long and stretchy that I pull them all the way up over my bump. It’s oddly comfortable and comforting.
Stretch marks? No new ones. Still none on my tummy. The pre-existing ones on my sides have become more noticeable I think but I’m used to hose.
Sleep: Just okay. The heat combined with the heartburn combined with the constant getting up to go to the bathroom are killer.
Best moment this week: Josh has been feeling the baby move almost every day and I love being able to share that with him! Nothing major happened this week…which is fine with me. Quite a few people have randomly brought up baby conversation with me though. It’s odd/exciting!
Miss Anything? Nothing.
Movement: Off and on all day long! Still my favorite part. He’s definitely getting higher. I think we can expect some rib kicks soon.
Food cravings: Salad and sub sandwiches.
Anything making you queasy or sick: Eggs off and on again this week darnit. I thought we were past that.
Gender: Bouncing baby BOY!
Labor Signs: None!
Symptoms: Peeing in the middle of the night, growing body, heartburn, little baby constantly wiggling in my belly :) Oh, also constipation is back. Lovely.
Belly Button in or out? In and getting a little shallower every week. It’s really strange for me because my belly button has always been SO deep. I want it to pop out!
Wedding rings on or off? We’re still holding out with them on but feeling snug, especially on the really hot days.
Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy! Now that it’s July, October is feeling really close.
Looking forward to: Still 3rd tri for baby (so stinking close) and moving (hopefully next weekend)!
Also, I think I had my first Braxton Hicks contraction yesterday. I'm not sure though! Can anyone explain to me what they feel like???

Braxton Hicks feel like you're flexing your muscle...it's just that your uterus is the muscle. It's a similar sensation to flexing your arm or your thigh except it's involuntary, doesn't hurt, just tightens and if you poke it, it's rock hard. I find them mildly uncomfortable, some people can't even feel them unless they physically touch their stomachs and feel that it's hard.
