25 Weeks

We've made it to 25 weeks! We are well on our way to having sweet little Lawson at home with us. I had a doctor's appointment this morning, and everything seems to be on-track. Lawson's heartbeat is strong, and I'm measuring right where I should be. I've gained a total of 17 pounds since we started this journey! Crazy!!! Here's your latest visual of that 17 pounds:

I have to admit, I catch glimpses of myself in windows or mirrors sometimes and have to do a double take to see why the heck I look so big. Then I remember I'm pregnant...duh. It's not like I actually forget. It's just weird to see my reflection. Sort of like when you get your hair colored (something very different from your natural color) and you're a little shocked to see yourself when you look in the mirror.

I would like to take this opportunity to brag on my sweet husband. He tells me on a regular basis that I look beautiful. He tells me I'm one of those pregnant women who just looks more and more beautiful with the baby belly. This weekend I was hot and tired (I had been grocery shopping and had cooked dinner...tough stuff you know...:-)). Jason walked in, smiled, leaned over and kissed me and said, "you look so pretty." I. LOVE. HIM. I'm so blessed!
