Colten's Party and 25 weeks pregnant

I'm combining subjects here. Colten had his 7th birthday party with lots of his friends over last weekend. It's taken me almost a week to get pictures uploaded and posted.

I decided to make things easy on myself for decorating the cake. I make a quad cake for Colten. I took one flat chocolate cake and cut cupcakes (from the school party) to make quad jumps and then put the quad on the cake. A little chocolate frosting and some green piping, and I was done!

Colten enjoyed having all his friends over and Tony and I enjoyed having a good party in less than two hours. The weather cooperated so all the kids spent most of the time outside on the trampoline or playing with the new presents.

I am officially 25 weeks pregnant! I think Cooper hit a growth spurt lately because I'm certainly feeling bigger!

Here's the latest stats for me.

How far along: 25 weeks

Weight gain: +2 so 20 pounds total. Not bad for eating what I want, not what's entirely healthy! I've certainly grown bigger. I'm even starting to out-grow maternity clothes.

Cravings: Gummy stuff. I don't really care what, but gummy lifesavers, gummy bears, gummy worms, etc.. are what I WANT

Contractions: Yes, but only practice ones. I usually get them at night when I'm finally relaxing for the night. I feel them, but they don't last long and usually go away after I relax for a while.

Belly Button:It's an outie, but still flat. I figure a few more weeks and it will be showing through my shirts though.

Good Moments: I've been getting sleep. I was in the store this week and bought heartburn medicine and ear plugs to help me sleep. The checker was being nice and asked me if I was doing anything special that night, and I said that I just wanted a good night sleep. She didn't seem to understand until I moved from behind the checkstand and she saw I was pregnant. Once she saw, she wished me luck with getting sleep. I had to laugh on my way out the store.

Next week I'll be down to less than 100 days to go until delivery! It just makes it that much more real being close to double digits. Last week I passed 24 weeks, the time of viability. Not that I think I have any chance of having this baby before July 29th, but I like the reassurance of knowing if I HAD to deliver now, my baby would have a good chance of survival and doctors would fight to save him.

What I miss: My cute but smaller maternity clothes. I'm getting close to the "mumu" and "tent" stage of clothes. The tops I didn't even pull out because they were so volumous before, I'm needing to pull them out now and wear them because they're comfortable. My pants are getting a little tight too, though I'm sure that's the gummy bears and not the baby making it that way.
