What a week! Grace had an earache, Major had puppy surgery (more on that later), and thank the sweet baby J, I had my friend Kara swoop in for the weekend and give me something to be excited about after that crazy few days. We got a jump on another house project (Grace's big girl room!) and even had a toddler free afternoon to run around Savannah and get a nice, adult, fancy dinner that was easily the best food this prego has had the pleasure of eating since we've moved here. I'll have to throw together a weekend recap...even though I basically just gave you one. Pregnancy wise, I'm feeling fine, but noticing that I'm getting bigger quickly and am more tired at the end of the day. Hopefully this is just because of everything going on and that will take the back burner for another few weeks.

Survey says...
How far along?: 25 weeks
Total weight gain/loss: UGH. I hate the scale. On Monday morning it had said I'd only gained a pound this week, on Tuesday, when I do my weekly weigh in, it said I'd gained 3. I know it's a lot of water weight, but seriously not cool scale, not cool. I'm just gonna take a bye week and say up 2 for a total of +15.5, but I'll chug water and get back to you next week.
Maternity clothes?: Yes sir. Whenever possible. Some layering of maternity under a regular button up, but all bottoms for sure.
Sleep: Alright. Nothing special. I'm waking up feeling less rested than usual. I made D promise I could have a morning to sleep past 8 when he gets home. I can't remember the last morning I've slept past 7 even. Wahhh.
Best moment of the week: Having Kara in town! I had so much fun with her here and Grace loved "Tara" too. ;)
Movement: Still my mover and shaker. Less crazy lately, but I've been running around a lot, so probably just less noticeable.
Food Cravings: Chocolate, daily decaf(s) with tons of creamer.
Gender: Girl
Belly Button: Starting to pop out up top.
Stretchmarks?: Not seeing any yet.
What I miss: I'm ready to really step up my workout routine. D is really getting after it while deployed and I know I'm going to want to get back into shape asap. Maybe I should put down the chocolate now and give myself a head start...(or not). Haha, yeah, not happening.
What I am looking forward to: Going home for Christmas.
Weekly Wisdom: Stay on top of things while you have the energy. I'm the queen of leaving things till the end of the day, but after G goes to bed the last thing I've wanted to do these past few days is dishes or clean up.
Milestones: This isn't a great one, but towards the end of this week I definitely have felt myself slowing down. Still a couple of weeks until I'm in the 3rd trimester, which I both love and hate. Love because it means we are getting closer, hate because I know that all of this great energy I've had is going to go away and I'll be exhausted and huge.
Grace's space: G is on board the baby sis train, and has been so sweet. She will hug my belly, put her hand on it to feel the baby kick, and we have practiced saying her little sister's name. I don't want to jinx anything, but she is going to be so great.
