25 Weeks
Sorry I didn't post this until so late. It was certainly a crazy week. There was 1 day last week that Artie and I were home. On Tuesday, it was our three year anniversary, so we went out to dinner. It was a lot of fun just getting to spend time together and reminisce about the past three years. It was nice to have conversations that weren't about work or other things. :-) Then Wednesday night we had small group. On Thursday we went to a charity dinner for Global Hope. It's a really cool Christian nonprofit organization that helps kids around the world. We got to have a fancy dinner served to us and all that. Then on Friday, it was First Friday at Boulder Indoor Cycling. It was probably the most exciting one that I've been to. They did this move called "The Madison". It's where you literary grab hands with your partner on the track as he's coming up behind you and you fling him ahead of you. You lose all your momentum, but he gets sling shotted (yep, I made up a new word) in front, and then it's a race to see who can catch the other team. It was so exciting to watch. Saturday was a busy day with Artie and I getting some lights installed into our loft area (our anniversary gift to each other). Then Sunday we had Kaleb's 1 year birthday party. And of course the Giants were on tv, so Artie wanted to watch the whole game. So we stayed at Scott and Meggan's (thank you guys) until the game was over. Then this week began and wow, it's already flying by. Then Monday night we got to go see FACE with some of our friends at a dinner theater in Boulder. It was AWESOME!!! They are an acapella (sorry no clue how to spell this one) group that was on the tv show The Sing Off during their first season. We got to meet the guys in the group afterward, and I talked to some of them about possibly coming to my school. Hopefully I can get a grant for it. And well, tonight's Tuesday, and Artie had a late meeting, so I've finally got time to sit down at my computer and type this up. So needless to say, we've been busy. If you can even say busy is the right word.
Okay, onto the quiz.
2 5Week Quiz
How far along: 25 weeks and 6 days today
Weight gain: I weighed myself last week and I'm up about 19-20 pounds.
Maternity clothes: Totally maternity clothes!
Stretch marks: My belly has been much less itchy with the new lotion that I've been putting on it. Hopefully the stretch marks stay away!
Sleep: I've been sleeping fairly well. I didn't get much sleep last night, so hopefully I'll get the rest that I need tonight.
Best moment of the week: Being able to feel the baby move like crazy when we were at the concert. Not sure if it was the music (which was loud, but awesome), or if it was the chocolate desert with raspberries on top.
Movement: I got a little nervous because I felt like there was less movement. But then when I really relaxed, I realized how much the baby is still moving. I think I've just been so busy this past week that I didn't realize how much he/she really was moving around.
Food cravings: I still don't have anything major. I like meats a lot more than I used to, but I'm not craving them.
Labor signs: No!
Belly button in or out: It's still in.
What I miss: I miss zipping up my jacket easily. It's getting pretty rough, and with the cold weather we've been having, I have to have my winter jacket.
What I'm looking forward to: I'm excited to spend time with my brothers this Christmas. It's been a long time since it's been the three of us kids together on Christmas morning. Even though it'll be different without Mom and Dad, I'm excited to have that time.
Weekly wisdom: Remember all that you're blessed with!
Milestones: Head to heels, your baby now measures about 13 1/2 inches. Her weight — a pound and a half — isn't much more than an average rutabaga, but she's beginning to exchange her long, lean look for some baby fat. As she does, her wrinkled skin will begin to smooth out and she'll start to look more and more like a newborn. She's also growing more hair — and if you could see it, you'd now be able to discern its color and texture.
