baby update:: 25 weeks

i went to the doctor last week for my 24 week appointment.  24 weeks?!?!  i had to stop and think about that when i typed it because it seemed way too far along!  i still feel great, but can definitely tell baby king is growing and growing rapidly!  i am so thankful for another great appointment and a healthy check-up for me and the baby.

baby king is definitely not much of a sleeper!  the baby squirms and kicks quite a bit which is a very comforting feeling.  i keep wondering what he/she is thinking in there!  baby's favorite times to "play" are around 4-5 am and then around 5-6 pm.  there's usually a mid-morning play as well around 9ish.

still no weird food cravings.  i ate a lot of peaches around weeks 8-10, but ever since there hasn't been one thing in particular.  i do eat A LOT of fruit though!  somedays fruit is the ONLY thing that sounds good!  i eat at least 2 apples a day and sometimes more.  i guess there are worse things i could be craving!

despite many people's frustration, we still aren't finding out what baby king is going to be until delivery.  it's amazing the number of people that aren't afraid to tell us their "true feelings" about us waiting to find out!!

i know i haven't mentioned her much, but molly is still doing well.  she's EXTREMELY protective of me and if someone comes around she doesn't know she won't let them near me.  her newest thing is to come and rest her nose right next to my belly when i'm laying on the couch.  she's in for a rude awakening when the baby gets here, but we're hoping she's going to be protective of the baby like she is with me.

today was my last day of school until next monday and i am so looking forward to the rest!  i'm excited about all the time we'll be spending with friends & family over the next few days.  thanksgiving meal isn't my favorite meal {it's actually one of my least favorites!} but i love that everyone is together!  my favorite part about thanksgiving is the parade -- one of our youth kids is dancing in the macy's parade this year so hopefully i can even get reed to watch it.  he doesn't quite love parades like i do!

i'm off to be lazy the rest of the night and catch up on parenthood!
