Week 25: Baby's First Christmas

How was everyone?s Christmas?!

We had a wonderful time celebrating with family. I?m so thankful to be with them for Christmas this year. Hunter had a pretty great Christmas too! He was fed some delicious eats and scored some awesome gifts. He?s a spoiled little guy already!

25weeks

How far along? 25 weeks

Baby?s size? The size of a cauliflower! He measures about 13.6 to 14.8 inches long and weighs about 1.5 to 2.5 pounds.

Total weight gain/loss: Not sure? Haven?t weighed myself this week.

Stretch marks? Nope.

Sleep: This past weekend wasn?t the best in the sleeping department, but I think it was because of the bed I was sleeping on if anything. The last few nights have been much better though!

Best moment this week: Our first baby shower! I can?t wait to tell you all about it!

Miss Anything? Lox and bagels (raw salmon, cream cheese, capers, & onion on a bagel) on Christmas morning. Love those things?

Movement: Oh yes! Lots of movement. It?s been so fun to see the reactions of several of my family members when they feel him move for the first time.

Food cravings: I?ve noticed that my love for salt continues, as well as carb-y foods (i.e. bread, pretzels, crackers, etc).

Anything making you queasy or sick: Nope! Yay!

Gender: BOY!

Labor Signs: None

Symptoms: My hunger has been out of control this past week! I swear my belly grew quite a bit too, so I?m thinking Baby Hunter went through a little growth spurt.

Belly Button in or out? It?s pretty much an outie these days! You can see it poking through some of my tighter fitting tops.

Wedding rings on or off? On, but I have noticed a little bit of swelling in my hands and feet this past week. We?ll see how much longer the rings stay on!

Happy or moody most of the time: Happy! It helps that I?m with all my family. Can?t beat that!

Looking forward to: Our second baby shower on Saturday!

I have lots of family to hang out with, so I?m going to keep things pretty simple today and leave you with that. I hope you all are enjoying your Christmas week!
