How far along? 25 Weeks
Total weight gain/loss: About the same
How Big is Baby?: An eggplant...
Maternity clothes? Loving them. I can still fit in a bunch of regular shirts and my regular sweatpants too.
Stretch marks? Nope.
Sleep: Back and forth.
Best moment this week: Seeing Cookie kick!
Movement: Cookie has been kicking hard enough to see for a while, but always picks the most inconvenient times when I'm unable to look and finally started kicking when I was watching the other night.
Food cravings: Still fruity sweets. I can't buy fruit snacks.
Gender: 15 more weeks. Some days I feel boy, some days girl.
Labor Signs: No way.
Belly Button in or out? Super shallow. The thought of it popping out freaks me out.
What I am looking forward to: Seeing the boys and my parents tomorrow.
Weekly Wisdom: Sleep. Sleep. Sleep.
Milestones: That oh-so-handy sense of equilibrium is kicking in, and baby's learning to distinguish right side up from upside down.

24 Weeks and 4 Days
I can't deny there is a baby in there anymore. I finally took a belly picture and have no idea where it came from.
I'm carrying all in the front, one of the only Old Wives Tales that signal I'm having a boy. Everything else points to girl.

24 Weeks!
How far along? 24 Weeks
Total weight gain/loss: About the same
How Big is Baby?: A papaya.
Maternity clothes? Every day. Love them!
Stretch marks? Nope.
Sleep: Solved. I will sleep well with the aid of painkillers and muscle relaxers. The expanding ribs isn't going so well.
Best moment this week: The nursery being finished, J moving the attic stairs, etc. And today...VIABILITY DAY!
Movement: all the time. And it's getting so high, it's almost 2 in above my belly button now.
Food cravings: Still fruity sweets.
Gender: 16 weeks...whoa.
Labor Signs: No way and let's keep it that way.
Belly Button in or out? Still in, but I can't believe how shallow it is...
What I am looking forward to: Finishing the nursery and setting all the furniture up. I can't wait to see how it looks.
Weekly Wisdom: Sleep. Sleep. Sleep.
Milestones: Baby's skin is becoming more opaque as the fat starts to pack on. And, thanks to the formation of small capillaries, her newly thick skin is taking on a fresh pink glow.

23 Weeks
How far along? 23 Weeks
Total weight gain/loss: About the same
How Big is Baby?: A small baby doll, about 8 in long
Maternity clothes? I think I am done. I have my baby shower shirt. I need leggings for this though. I went on a small shopping binge at motherhood and got some layering tanks and a few more sale shirts. I also got a pile of shirts from Sharon.
Stretch marks? Nope.
Sleep: Back and forth.
Best moment this week: Visiting Sharon and the boys!
Movement: Crazy! it's really noticeable now, I can't wait for J to feel it.
Food cravings: Sweets especially fruity ones.
Gender: 17 more weeks. This sounds really close!
Labor Signs: No way.
Belly Button in or out? In but getting very shallow.
What I am looking forward to: J feeling the baby kick.
Weekly Wisdom: Sleep. Sleep. Sleep.
Milestones: Weighing in at a pound, and at eight inches long, your baby is starting to really look like a baby! You can compare her size to a box of sugar or a bag of coffee beans. Her skin is filling out as the first layers of fat are deposited and her muscles grow. During the next month, her weight may almost double.

22 Weeks
How far along? 22 Weeks
Total weight gain/loss: About 12 lbs
How Big is Baby?: A papaya.
Maternity clothes? I have 2 pairs of pants from Old Navy and I'm loving them! I also got some sweaters and a blouse. Now I just need some layering shirts and I'll be set till the weather turns.
Stretch marks? Nope.
Sleep: Back and forth.
Best moment this week: Feeling the kicks get harder.
Movement: They're getting harder!
Food cravings: Few.
Gender: 18 weeks! This number is officially less than how far along we are. I fit most of the OWT for having a girl, but we all know this is a bunch of hooey.
Labor Signs: No way.
Belly Button in or out? In.
What I am looking forward to: Seeing the boys on Weds!
Weekly Wisdom: Sleep. Sleep. Sleep.
Milestones: Watch what you say -- baby is now able to hear outside noise from down in the womb. Studies show that baby finds gentle music and your own voice most soothing. Nipples are starting to sprout, and that little face is fully formed. And, baby's starting to settle into sleep cycles, snoozing about 12 to 14 hours a day. It shouldn't be hard to figure out when
