25 weeks

This post is in honor of Alyse, who requested another baby bump pic because she wants to recognize me when she comes up to MN for a baby shower in April. So, say hello to the baby at 25 weeks!












Here are some 25-week stats:

• I'm still feeling good. I'm hungry and need to eat about every hour or two (at least a snack).
  
• I've gained 12 pounds so far.
• I've been feeling movement for about 5 weeks now, and Eric was first able to feel some kicks when we were in Mexico, so about 3 weeks ago. Baby is most active in the early morning or night when I'm lounging on the couch or lying in bed.
• Side effects of pregnancy noticed so far: I pee a lot. I had to buy some new bras (I'll just leave it at that.) I get foot cramps at least once a day. Almost every night, I wake up at ~3am needing to walk off a foot cramp, and then I go to the bathroom too (might as well since I'm up). 
• I've had DQ twice this week. 
• I have the glucose test next week to determine if I have gestational diabetes. Let's hope not! 
• According to Alyse (my sister who's a nurse), baby would be viable if born today. He'd have to stay in a NICU for a while though, so let's hope he stays in there a bit longer.

That's about it for now. Thanks for checking in with us!
