I'm 25 weeks today and am still feeling pretty good considering how big I'm getting.  I have been noticing that I get tired easier and bending over to pick things up is becoming a chore.  We worked in the yard fertilizing and planting flowers throughout the last week and I often had to just sit down and take a break.  I listen to my body though and when I feel like I need to, I rest. 

 

I'm pretty much at the point that I can't paint my own toes anymore, at least without cutting off my air supply for lengthy periods, so I've been getting monthly pedicures.  Not only does it look nice now that I can pretty much only wear sandals, but it feels absolutely amazing to have my legs and feet massaged after being swollen for so long!  I've never been one to constantly spend money on stuff like that, but screw it - I'm all about feeling good at this point!

 

Saturday we went to Roswell to finish registering for baby items at Target.  I had started an online registry, but there were some things I didn't want to put on there until I could see it first in person.  Plus it was nice for Graham to be involved more too - he loved it!  I'm not sure whether or not I'm going to register at any other stores, because people will likely just buy what they want to anyways and also because Target had pretty much everything else I wanted!  I'll likely order a few things from some Etsy shops, including decor for the nursery and a diaper bag though. 

 

We did end up purchasing her crib, but it'll be a few more weeks until we get it set up.  I'm planning on having a yard sale in the middle of May and as of now all of that stuff is sitting in the middle of nursery floor.  It'll just be easier to work in there once we get everything sold/given away.  I also plan on painting an accent wall in there, so we may wait to put the crib up until that's done too.  Same ol', same ol' - hurry up and wait!

 

Baby girl has been kicking up a storm and I'm starting to notice it moving closer to my ribs.  Before the movement was always felt in my lower belly, below my belly button.  It's such a crazy feeling, but I love it and so far it doesn't hurt.  I think we've pretty much decided on a name but are uncertain if we want to tell family and friends now or wait until we see her pretty face.  I'm so up in the air on everything!

 

Please keep my little family in your prayers.  It's so hard to believe I've only got 15 weeks left!
