Now on to more exciting things... what's going on with Lima Bean?
How far along? 25 weeks... 15ish to go!
Total weight gain/loss? Gained 16 lbs.
Maternity clothes? Yes. Still wearing normal "bum" clothes (t-shirts, pj pants, and such) but everything else is maternity.
Stretch marks? Nope.
Sleep? Sleeping is officially getting a little more unusual. Boo! I still sleep on my stomach a bit, but I have to really twist my stomach to the side. I bought a side sleeper pillow yesterday with a handy dandy Bed, Bath, and Beyond coupon (the best coupons ever) because I noticed I needed a little more neck support. I'm hoping that will encourage more side sleeping.
Best moment last month? Showing off my maternity bathing suit? Haha :) No, really, I enjoyed floating in the ocean... I loved the feeling of weightlessness.
Movement? Big time. The movements are getting more intense. Apparently she likes to sit really low and that has made exercising slightly challenging. I have pretty strong pressure in my lower abdomen when walking/attempting a brief jog.
Food cravings? Fruits and juices are still my go to treat. (Lima just kicked so she must agree!) I also enjoy mustard, honey roasted peanuts, and fried okra (not together). At this very moment, chocolate pudding sounds tasty.
Gender? Still a baby girl!

Lima Bean's size: According to my book, Lima should be the size of an eggplant... about 9.5 inches and weighing in at a whopping 2 lbs.
Labor signs? Nope.
Belly button in/out? Out and rather pokey.... not to mention slightly off-centered. (I won't judge if I notice you staring at my belly button next time we meet!)
What I miss: I miss sleeping totally on my stomach and moving around with ease (aka - not being able to bounce up stairs or bend over without a slight grunt) :)
What I am looking forward to: Finding a doctor in Colorado Springs. Holding my precious little baby girl for the first time.

Most recent baby purchase: I purchased my cloth diaper set (Thank you, Gran!!!!). Now we're all set on diapers.
Milestones: I completed my first baby book - "On Becoming Babywise - Giving Your Infant the Gift of Nighttime Sleep."
So glad you're doing well! Baby Wise was the best thing we did! Samuel started sleeping through the night at 8 weeks and has been an exceptional sleeper his whole life...still goes to bed around 7:30 and wake sup around 7:30-8! It's wonderful!!! Praying for a wonderful 3rd trimester and safe travels to Colorado for yall! What an adventure in your sweet girls life...not fun to have so many different doctors, but what a fun story to tell her-all the places you lived and have been since she began her existence!!
