25 weeks






















I know you guys have been waiting with baited breath, but the comparable picture of me pregnant in last week's post was ..... me at 33 weeks with Piper. That is almost 9 weeks difference and I still look the same, gah! What am I going to look like at 40 weeks with this pregnancy?

Besides the aging I've done by turning 33 this weekend, I'm still feeling great. I had a weird side stitch/cramp thing that lasted about a day or so this week. It was weird and felt exactly like a runners cramp on my side and it would come and go, but was really uncomfortable. I knew nothing was wrong because the baby was moving constantly and it didn't feel like a contraction or anything. I tried everything to get rid of it: walking, drinking lots of water, yoga, drinking carbonated drinks, holding my arm up above my head (runners do that) and nothing helped. It just slowly got less and less annoying and I woke up 36 hours or so later and it was gone.


We went to a BBQ on Monday that lasted ALL day and it was hot as holy hell and when I got home I thought I saw the faintest hint of swelling in my feet. I'm 99.9% sure it was just paranoia because no one else noticed it at all.

Our current running list of names, as listed on the chalkboard:

Girl
Margot
Margaret
Matilda
Josephine (Josie)
Clementine
Charlotte
Sadie
Grove (there is no way this one will make it)
Hazel
Caroline
Norah

Boy
Rexford (Rex. This is probably the top contender right now.)
Ryder
Elijah
Patrick
Oliver
Jude
Milo

I just asked Patrick if he likes the name Maxine for a girl and he immediately said no,
because it reminds him too much of this comic strip lady:



This cracks me up because that would be the LAST thing I think of if I heard the name Maxine. There was a little girl in my playgroup in St. Thomas whose name was Maxine and I thought it was so cute, but I would be worried that people would tease her later calling her Maxi pad.

Matilda. You can call her Tilly. I also like all Christa's suggestions. I like Celia a little more than Cecilia.

I think you should take your pics with your hands at your sides, it is hard to compare the pics bc I wondering if your hand position is pushing your back forward and making you look a little bigger.
