Baby Kiel is now roughly the length of a box of Cheerios! He or she is about 13.5″ long from head to heel and weighs about 1.75 lbs.How far along: 25 weeks
Gender: Baby Kiel is a mystery baby 🙂
Weight gain: 10 lbs
Symptoms:Â Back aches is the main one, but also some headaches and fatigue. And I just started feeling a pain in my right rib area (like right under my bra). That can’t be from the baby yet, can it?! I feel like it’s too early for internal injuries!

Maternity clothes: Yep! And I love them. 🙂 I think my maternity clothes might be cuter than my normal wardrobe… that’s a little sad.
Stretch marks: No
Belly button in or out: in
Sleep: Great, except for the bathroom trips. Still only one trip to the potty each night, so not too bad.
Best moment this week: Inflating my birthing ball (finally) 🙂 We took a 6-hour class on Saturday called Healthy Pregnancy, Healthy Baby and did a few stretches/exercises using a birthing ball. It really did seem to help, so Andrew said he was going to inflate it when we got home. When my lower back is really hurting, it does seem to help to sit on the ball for awhile. And I know it’s better for my posture.
Miss anything: A glass (or 2) of wine after a tiring day at work. Working 7-5 is just a long day no matter how you look at it!
Movement: Yes, especially when I’m laying down or sitting and relaxing. After work each day, I like to just lay on the bed for 5-10 minutes and feel the baby move. I’m pretty amused when I can see movement from the outside.
Cravings: Baked goods… cake, muffins, doughnuts, scones… it all sounds amazing!
Looking forward to: Getting some fall maternity clothes in the mail! Yes, I am addicted to buying cute maternity clothes. I’m excited for sweater weather!

I really like the shirt too! When I first tried it on (a couple of months ago), I wasn’t crazy about it, but now that my belly is bigger, I really like it. 🙂
I’m glad you think things are exciting! I’ve been having a few “freak out” moments, realizing that this baby is going to be here before we know it!
