25 Weeks

(May 25th)
Wow, how can I already be 25 weeks along?  This pregnancy has flown by. 

This pregnancy has been quite a bit different than mine with Asher.  Although in the beginning I was queasy and generally didn't feel well, I wasn't as sick as I was with Asher.  I never threw up and could handle all foods better.

How far along: 25 Weeks  
Sleep: I have been sleeping pretty well.  In general I think I am more comfortable this time around than I was last time.  I am not too achey or itchy which I remember feeling much worse last pregnancy.  I wonder if after your first your body is just more used to it?
Movement: I finally started feeling this baby girl right around 21 weeks.  It is amazing and one of my favorite parts of being pregnant.  She is very active already and my favorite thing is when I lay down at night and she starts moving all around.  Marcus has been able to feel her and just yesterday Asher felt a little kick as well.  
Food cravings: I feel pretty normal as far as food, but Thai food (especially fresh spring rolls) and gummies have been my main cravings.  
Anything making you queasy or sick: Nope.  I feel lucky to feel so good! 
Exercise:  I was able to ski this winter throughout the beginning of my pregnancy and went for the last time at 16 or 17 weeks.  I've been going to a cardio barre class that I really enjoy even though my stomach is starting to get in the way.  I recently had to stop running because I feel contractions and like I have to go to the bathroom the whole time, which is pretty uncomfortable so I've just switched to walking.  
I love being pregnant this time and having Asher so involved.  He is so excited for his baby sister.  He kisses my tummy, pats it, and gets really, really close and says, "I love you baby sister."  It is so sweet.  I think he is going to be a really great big brother.  He also loves singing her songs and giving her loves.  We talk about what to name her practically every day and his favorites change.  
Asher wanted to show off his little tummy too!
