How Far Along: 25 weeks! 

Size of baby: Cauliflower! That sounds funny, since it this can vary in size, but I think we're talking a big head of cauliflower. 

Sleep: Eh, it was going well until last night when I woke up at 2am and couldn't go back to sleep until 5am. So hopefully this trend doesn't continue. 

Total Weight Gain: Maybe 19 pounds now? I haven't weighed myself much this week. But even though the doctor told me to cut back, I didn't really listen to her... oops. I am still loving my sweets! Baby I am going to give you a sweet tooth!

Symptoms: I feel pretty good. I get out of breath easily and I did feel a little bit of cramping on some days. But I guess that's all normal.  And man do I have to PEE more. All the time now. 

Movement: You're moving and moving. Keep it up baby girl! Move away! I think you are still low in my belly, because I only feel you moving below my bellybutton, but pretty soon you'll start to move up higher and you'll probably start to kick me in the ribs. But I don't mind. 

Maternity Clothes: No shopping this week. Auntie Grace bought me a nice dress and I took a picture and I felt like I looked much bigger in the photo then I thought I looked in person. I think that's going to start happening more and more.

Go-to eats: Dad has been making us some great meals! He made us steak the other night with asparagus and chicken and squash last night. He is becoming quite the chef. At work there are so many healthy options, but I'll be honest this week I went for sushi, pasta... could have been better. 

Best moment of the week: This past weekend was super relaxing. Friday Dad and I had our usual date night in LG. Saturday morning we picked out materials for our remodel (Mom, your MaMa came and we went to lunch) I took a nice long nap. Then went over to MaMas and GPs had dinner, went on a nice walk with them and watched some Breaking Bad. Woke up early on Sunday, went to Cameron's 4th bday party, napped again! And then Jenny came over for a swim so we got a bit of exercise and some vitamin D :) This week at work has been good, lots of meetings, but nothing too strenuous. 

Gender: Quinley.. that's our newest name. But it doesn't go well with Kikue, so I was thinking Quinley Grace. What do you think?  

Workout: Well after our doctors appt last week I did take you on some walks. Brian and I walked a couple nights last week, I went swimming, walked with my parents. So not bad.. but of course could always be better.

What I’m looking forward to: Getting started on the house! Also we might be heading up to Redding this weekend to see your BF Maxwell. But we'll see how Pam is feeling. Here is the kitchen we are looking into getting..

Milestones and stressors: Things are great this week! Every day is a big milestone for you baby girl because you are growing so well, but nothing new that has been stressful this week. Expect the remodel that is going to be wonderful, but stressful all at the same time.
