How far along are you?: 25 weeks, 1 day
Total weight gain: 18 lbs.
How big is the baby?: 1.5 lbs. and 13.5 inches long.
Maternity clothes: I can finally wear my maternity sweaters!!! And Mel gave me some great stretchy skinny cords that I'll be wearing all the time!
Stretch marks?: I think I just discovered my first one, on my lower belly. Ugh.
Sleep: I desperately need to get a body pillow or wedge or something...I'm terribly unsupported.
Best moment this week: Harlie was able to finally feel the baby move. She's constantly coming up to my belly and talking to Ashlynne and giving her hugs. I love it.
Movement: Yes, big time! I think she may have flipped positions because I'm feeling her so much more now and higher up, whereas before all the little punches were way down low in my abdomen.
Food cravings: I need to get a reign on my eating habits big time....more veggies, less crap!!! I ate 6 pieces of garlic bread on Saturday and 1,300,765 crackers with 10 tons of super chunk peanut butter today.
Food aversions: None really.
Labor signs: None
Belly button in or out: Still in but my belly is finally tightening up!!! Yay! Nothing's worse than a growing squishy belly.
What I miss: My sanity. My emotions are through the roof. But I've realized that talking about them helps...so next time you see me, ask me how I'm doing. ;-)
What I'm looking forward to: Maternity leave...I'm getting excited to have a few months to just focus on my family.

What a beautiful photo of your belly, E! I'm proud of you for taking the photo...wished I would have been more creative with my belly pics.
