Pregnancy Update: 25 Weeks

HOW FAR ALONG: 25 weeks

HIS SIZE: 14 inches long; the size of a cabbage

WEIGHT GAIN: 16 lbs

SLEEP: Good minus Tuesday night/Wednesday morning when I stayed up to see the final election results. What a crazy night!

SYMPTOMS: Does irritability count? I traveled this past weekend to see my grandparents in Iowa, who are both ill (which was awesome and fulfilling), and then came home to a house in total disarray. We are having all of our carpet upstairs replaced with wood and our house is a dusty disaster. Every piece of furniture from 4+ rooms is crammed in our media room. It is noisy, dirty and taking much longer than anticipated. I know in a week I will be happy with the result but it is hard functioning in your house when it is nearly unlivable. End rant:)

STRETCH MARKS: Zero.

MOVEMENT: He is a wiggle worm.

THREE THINGS I AM LOVING RIGHT NOW: 
1: Sam Edelman Paige Booties in Taupe Rose - These are the cutest! I wore these for the first time this weekend and was thrilled by how comfortable they are to wear for an extended period of time. I have a feeling these will get a lot of wear this fall/winter.

2: The Bee and the Fox - I follow this store on Instagram and I love the minimalistic look of their shirt and apparel designs. I just received my first order: the "mama bird" shirt and "baby bird" onesie (for Ashton). I am excited to put this super soft outfit on him!

3: Quiet by Susan Cain - I just finished reading this book and it really spoke to me. It reaffirmed a lot about what I already knew about being an introvert and made me look at the way I handle some of Ryann's tendencies in a new light. If you are an introvert or are married to one, this is a must read!
