Pregnancy: Week 25

This week Jordan and I realized we only have 15 more weeks until this baby arrives. 15! I can hardly believe it. Then I get a good kick in the belly from baby, and it starts feeling real again.

I have read a lot that once you can feel the baby kicking regularly, you should do kick counts to make sure baby's movements stay consistent. If baby stops moving regularly, there could be something wrong. I don't think I have to worry about this.

This baby drives me to distraction regularly. Every time I feel baby start to move, I lose concentration on whatever I was doing, and just enjoy feeling those kicks. I've started to be able to predict when baby will be active.

In fact, right now baby is kicking and wiggling my computer!

Food has been my friend lately. Probably not the best for even weight gain... My biggest weakness at the moment is Nutty Bars. I have eaten a whole box almost by myself over the last week and a half. On the bright side, citrus has also been a big hit. I LOVE LOVE LOVE grapefruit. Some nights, I will even eat two, all by myself. We constantly have oranges in the house. Usually when Jordan and I watch tv at night, we are both snacking on an orange.

Today I made the mistake of going grocery shopping. Hungry. Yes, this naughty momma skipped breakfast, then went to buy food just before lunchtime. Never a good plan, even if I wasn't pregnant! All that said, though, I think I did pretty good. I didn't go overboard, as I have before.

But one thing I did buy was macaroni and cheese. Guess what's for dinner!! I don't know why, but the idea of eating mac n cheese made me really happy, so I bought some. Jordan might get some, if there's any left.

A friend of mine showed me some funny stuff recently. It's called Porn for Pregnant Women.
Disclaimer: I do not endorse married women looking at other men, no matter how good looking they may be. But any woman who has had a baby or is currently pregnant can appreciate these. Just envision your hubby in the photo instead of Ryan Gosling.

Now I think it is time to go make that mac n cheese...
