Started showing: For sure! 
Stretch marks: Nope
Belly button in or out: Out..like super out this week!
Sleep: Pretty good as long as I don't keep myself up researching VBACs vs repeat c-sections!
Best moment this week the last 2 weeks: We've had a couple of nice relaxing weekends...soaking in time as a family of 3! We also picked up Westyn's dresser and nightstand...can't wait to put it in her room (once it's painted!)
Movement: Yes, all the time!! Still feel most movements low unless I'm laying down...also felt her have hiccups for the first time last week!
Cravings: food in general!
Symptoms: Nothing that sticks out to me right now! 
Looking forward to: Blair and Keegan have their gender reveal this coming Saturday...can't wait to find out what baby Neill #2 is!! Also looking forward to seeing family and eating lots of food tomorrow for Thanksgiving!!!

25 Week Baby Bump





How far along: 25 weeks, 4 days
Size of baby: rutabaga - 13.5in, 1lb8oz
Gender: GIRL!!
Maternity clothes: Yep, or workout clothes!
Started showing: For sure! 
Stretch marks: Nope
Belly button in or out: Out..always
Sleep: Pretty good the last 2 weeks!
Best moment this week the last 2 weeks: A week ago Tuesday we had a dr's appointment and sono! Blakelee ended up coming to the appointment with us so she got to see her sister! She was very unsure of what was going on but was very proud of the picture the tech printed off just for her! The sonographer was able to get all the pics she needed and everything looks great! Westyn was estimated to weigh 1lb6oz which puts her in the 55th percentile...perfect! She definitely looks like her big sister!

This last weekend we took our first trip as a family of 3! Yep, in the last 17 months Brock and I have taken 2 trips alone and several trips with one set of grandparents or the other. We were originally going to take a "babymoon" but decided we needed to soak in as much time as we could with just our Blakelee girl! We went to Colorado Springs for the weekend! B did awesome on the drive, so that made it nice! We went to the North Pole and then went to the Zoo twice! We had a great little getaway...can't imagine what it will be like with 2 babies next time!!
Movement: Yes, all the time!! Surprisingly, most of the time I still feel her pretty low!
Cravings: food in general!
Symptoms: Nothing that sticks out to me right now! 
Looking forward to: Getting the nursery ready! We've primed the room and have fabrics picked out! Excited to see it all come together! Slowly but surely....right?!

Totally got sidetracked and forgot to blog for week 24!
