25 weeks--crazy cauliflower

Along: 25w2d
Size of baby: Sweet Pea is the size of a cauliflower. That's a really yucky vegetable, so we bought this one just for show.
Total Weight Gain/Loss: Well, this was a big month... I knew I'd gained weight because I could feel it in my belly. I'd popped for sure in the last month. At the doctor on Tuesday, the scale showed +8.6 this month! It was surprising, but not shocking, and I figured the weight had to come sometime. I'm  at +14 total now.
Maternity Clothes: Some of my pants that have a half-panel are starting to be uncomfortable. It adds heat to have a full panel on pants, but it's more comfy on my belly. And there's no way I can wear small t-shirts anymore. Mediums are good, but larges are better. :)
Gender: It's a girl! Cara Beth Connell
Movement: All. The. Time. And I love it. I feel her thumping and moving, and I see her bumping out my belly at most points during the day. As she gets bigger, I know her movements will get more uncomfortable, but I just love it.
Sleep: Doing good this week, and looking so forward to a summer schedule. 7.5 days of school with kids left, then I can hibernate and take naps when I need to!
What I miss: Not too much this week!
Cravings: Still much of the same--Raisin Bran cereal, milk, frozen pasta lunches, cheese
Symptoms: Like last week--feeling pregnant... I get full after eating really quickly ("no room at the inn"), uncomfortable if I sit or lay down too long, sore back at school, etc. I'm beginning to feel very thankful that I won't be teaching in the last weeks of my pregnancy.
Best moment of the week: Having 1.5 days off of school--went to the dr. one afternoon, then chaperoned a trip to the Ft. Worth Zoo another day. It was HOT to be outside for 4 hours, ride a yellow dog bus with no A/C and walk around. I got ice cream and Icees to help keep cool. We still had a fun time.
Looking forward to: One last full week of school! Watching a movie of a book we just finished, preparing to give a final, packing up my classroom for summer. Going to Waco High Prom tonight and looking forward to our 4th anniversary very soon. Lots of excitement!
