Total weight gain\/loss? <\/strong>I have no idea. I can’t honestly remember where I was when I started. Haven’t had the desire to climb aboard the scale lately either!<\/p>\n Stretch marks? <\/strong>None that I can see!<\/p>\n Best Moment this week? <\/strong>One evening, the baby was particularly excited and moving around a lot. Mikayla got to not only feel him kick for the first time, but we were all able to see him moving from the outside. Forgot how cool that was. She was very excited!<\/p>\n Movement?<\/strong> Still moving like crazy, especially first thing in the morning and just before bed at night. <\/p>\n Food Cravings: <\/strong>No major cravings these past few weeks.<\/p>\n Gender?<\/strong> A baby boy, still deciding on a final name!<\/p>\n Labor Signs?<\/strong> After three days of hiking last week I felt some mild Braxton Hicks contractions, but I am sure that was from fatigue more than anything. After that day I haven’t felt any.<\/p>\n Belly Button in or Out?<\/strong> In, but slowly working its way out.

We got our first outfits thanks to some family from the states when Ben’s parents came over.

We spent three of the first few days of Ben’s parents visit hiking. By the third day my body was through and extremely tired, and was not shy in telling me so!! <\/p>\n Milestones: <\/strong>I am definitely wearing maternity clothing now, no doubt about it! Tried to put on some regular pants last week and was far from getting them to button!<\/p>\n And here are two belly shots for you. Both were taken yesterday, one is just a little more flattering, but the other is a better belly shot!<\/p>\n I have been meaning to do another update for some time now, but have been so busy with Ben’s parents I haven’t had the chance. So here is my update for our 25th week! How far along? I am 25.5 weeks. Total weight gain\/loss? I have no idea.
