25 weeks

I figured at this point, I'd feel so much more relaxed than I'm feeling right now!!! June cannot get here fast enough!!

This is my friend, Kristen. She is Kale's mom, Jake's good buddy. When we were pregnant with our boys, we were 12 weeks apart. Same thing this time! So crazy!

This is Shara. We worked together for a few years. She is Paisley's mom, Jake's favorite girl friend. Same thing! Our kiddos are 7 weeks apart and our fetuses are too! Ha!

How far along? 25 weeks

Total weight gain/loss: 9 pounds up from pre-pregnancy weight

Maternity clothes? Still have a preference for yoga... (I always will) but when I have to be presentable... yes, I'm in maternity clothes. It's hard to find them that fit right, though... so I still wear my stretchy jeans with a rubber band on the button. :)

Stretch marks? None

Sleep: It's a love/hate. I love it always, and sometimes it hates me. Still a napper when I can, especially after a rough night. I have been stuffy (nasal) for about 3 months, so that makes sleeping a bit of a challenge some nights. I also developed a weird pregnancy rash that itches like mad, that keeps me awake a lot too.

Best moment this week: a good nights' sleep last night lol

Movement: He's still a nut. I seriously thought Jake was active, but this kid is a NUT. Jake likes to put hot wheels cars on my belly and watch Cohen kick them. He gets hiccups a lot. He is starting to have more inactive periods and due to my past history, with all the failed pregnancies... it is starting to weigh on me more and more.

Food cravings: My cravings have pretty much calmed down. I still like green beans and broccoli a lot, and these apples called "envy" apples? They're really good.

Miss anything? Nah, I've wanted this for so long, that anything that might seem unenjoyable or undesirable is very welcomed.

Anything making you queasy or sick: Not really. Just still stuff at work sometimes, and snot.

Have you started to show yet: Every day it changes. If I'm in scrubs, mostly no. In normal clothes, it just depends on Cohen's position in my belly. He recently moved to the head down position most the time, and when he's like that, my belly is smaller.

Belly Button in or out? Still in. Never popped out with Jake, so not expecting it this time.

Wedding rings on or off? Still on. Never got tight with Jake, I'll be surprised if they do this time. They're pretty darn loose right now. 

Labor signs? Thankfully, no! I have noticed that I have a lot more Braxton Hicks with this pregnancy and I had a night where I was cramping a lot, but since I triage that kinda stuff for a living, I just did what I would tell any other 24 weeker that was cramping lol and it went away.

Happy or Moody most of the time: very moody still.

Milestones: making it to viability at 24 weeks.

Overall, I'm battling a lot of freaking out right now. I had gone through a time where I'd felt more comfortable about the pregnancy, but I'm starting to get more leery about things again. If I can be honest, I am so jealous of my pregnant friends that are able to carelessly decorate their baby's nursery, or buy clothes and accessories. I get anxious just thinking about those things! I feel so jaded and I get so angry sometimes that I am constantly worrying. I have a really good support system. They get to hear me freaking out a lot.
