25 week update! PICS

Holy cow! I can't believe I'm 25 weeks pregnant today! This pregnancy seems to have gone by super fast and I doubt highly that it's going to slow down any.

The new semester started yesterday, so all of my professors have now been notified of my predicament and all seem willing to work with me by letting me take the final early or in some other way. I'm due the week before finals. If only babies always came on their due date I'd be okay, but the unpredictablity of the whole childbirth experience is definitely adding an additional challenge to the end of this semester! But it's a big relief that all my teachers seem very understanding/sympathetic. :)

My baby boy seems to be doing pretty great in my uterus. He still moves all the time, which I love (for the most part). Some of his wiggles are starting to nauseate me and some of them hurt, but I wouldn't trade any of this in for the world! My belly is definitely growing away now! I'm loving the pregnant look that I didn't have with my first pregnancy. I have also seen a gain for 4 consecutive weeks! After losing 35 pounds in the first 21 weeks, I have now gained 4.4, 1, 0.4 and 0.8 pounds respectively. I'm confident that this is ALL attributable to baby, water, breasts, etc. and will quickly be gone after he's born.

Hope you all are doing well! Much love and baby dust! :)

Here's my baby bump as of today (25 weeks):


And at 5 weeks just for comparison...

Aww, you have a cute baby belly and that wonderful pregnancy glow!

Thanks! I'm loving the "glow" and the bump! I didn't get either with my first pregnancy! :)

 you look great!!! i love seeing your pics! :)

Thanks, Meli! I'm loving your pics, too! :) Can you believe we're already approaching the third trimester?

 i know!! its crazy!! the 2nd half goes so much fast than the first!

I love your baby bump! You look great :-)

Thank you :)))

 So cute!! You look so pretty and I love the bump :0 ) Can't wait for mine too. 
I feel like my pregnancy is taking FOREVER though, I'm only 11 weeks and 4 days. 

Thanks! The first trimester went so slowly for me, too, but after that it's all kind of passed by in a blur! :)
