How far along? 25 weeks today
Total weight gain/loss: I've gained about 20 lbs total! Yikes!
Maternity clothes? Definately can't wear any of my pre-pregnancy pants unless they're stretchy!
Stretch marks? OMG! I found one!!! I've already bought the cocoa butter strech mark stuff!
Sleep: Is getting harder and harder to come by since either my back starts hurting, she starts kicking, or I'm up peeing.
Best moment this week: Jordon's finally started feeling her move and we've been watching my belly move and do all kinds of crazy things!
Movement: This little girl hurts when she kicks! I'm almost convinced that she's going to be a soccer player instead of a golfer!
Cravings: Don't really have any cravings, just don't enjoy food unless it's what I'm "feeling in the mood for."
Gender: Still my baby girl
Labor Signs: None yet
Belly Button in or out? Still in, but if I get much bigger then it'll pop out!
What I miss: Being able to go somewhere without having to pee time I get there and before I leave...and being able to make it from Sandhills to home without having to stop to pee.
What I am looking forward to: Right now I'm looking forward to November and cooler weather!
Weekly Wisdom: I have to stop freaking out about something bad happening before, during, or after she's born since all these TV shows have me scared to death. ---words of wisdom from my sweet husband
Milestones: Jordon being able to feel her move!

Mini Vacation??? Yeah, right!
Thankfully I finally got more than 2 days off in a row and I've been off since Friday and don't have to go back to work until Wednesday night! :) Luckily, Jordon got all day Saturday, Sunday, and today off and my mom was off Saturday and Sunday, my cousin was "childless" for the weekend, and of course my daddy's retired so he has an open schedule (haha)! We've gotten lots done in the house!! The living room in painted (just have to tape and paint the trim), Kirkland's room is almost organized, the guest room is decluttered and almost finished being organized, Kirkland has new clothes and accessories, and my daddy and Jordon have been working hard since Saturday on getting the new countertops and sink in the kitchen. After we get that mess cleaned up, I have to pick out paint for the kitchen, scrub the cabinets again, and get the kitchen completed and messed moved from the dining room to the shed. Can I have more stretches of this many days off so I can get more done again??? Too bad I thought I was going to be able to have a mini "vacay," but if I can get stuff checked off the to-do list then I'll stay home any time!
In other events, today was week 24 appointment. I still can't believe I'll be 25 weeks on Wednesday! Time has been flying the past few weeks, which I've enjoyed because we're closer and closer to having Kirkland here. Today they did the "glucola" test to check for gestational diabetes, so I had to drink some yummy (insert sarcasm here) orange drink that tasted like flat orange soda. I was too excited to actually keep down the stuff!! I saw Dr. Painter today, another awesome and sweet OB, and they were able to measure my belly for the first time. (Woohoo! Progress!) It didn't take Dr. Painter but a second to find missy's heartbeat, which was around 150-160, the norm for her at this time. Otherwise, she said everything was looking good! :) I'll be posting belly pictures later and some pictures of our house progress.

Wild Girl!
I'm sitting here watching my belly jump up and down...more than it ever has before!! I just ate a bowl of Frosted Flakes and here lately, it's foods that make Kirkland dance around like a wild girl. I can't believe we're at the 24 week mark today! It just seems like the time from my last appointment has flown by and yet it's time for another appointment Monday, this time to take the glucola test to check for gestational diabetes. Keep your fingers crossed; I don't think I could live without sweets!
My book says that our baby girl is 1 1/2 pounds and 8 1/2 inches long!! She's growing so fast and from here on out she should be gaining 6 ounces per week and she's packing on the cute baby fat now. Just keep growing like a weed sweet girl!
I've also learned that Kirkland likes music, like her mommy. We listened to Taylor Swift yesterday on the ride to my cousin's house and she kicked, and kicked, and kicked. Then, when I turned it off of Taylor she quit kicking and my mom couldn't get her to move for anything! Well, I take that back because we were trying to talk to her and "squish" her (yeah, sounds so horrible, but it works) and then she just settled onto my back nerve that sends the most awful pain down my behind! Pay back for aggravating her I guess!
I'll update more after our appointment Monday.

The "Preggy Pants" mission
It has finally happened at 23 weeks pregnant! The moment I've been waiting 6 months for! I put on my pants Sunday and couldn't zip or button them!! Jordon's response: "Well, let's go shopping." I hated spending money on materniity clothes when hopefully I won't need them after Kirkland's a few months old, but it was either spend some money or have to go naked...almost literally.
Let's just say that shopping for maternity clothes was an adventure and I'm glad I had my husband with me! We searched Belk, Kohls, Target, and JCPenny with only finding a pair of kakhi shorts that I only bought because they were marked down from $40 to $2.99 (score!!). Then we decided to check out Motherhood Maternity, which has turned out to be my new favorite store! They actually had a variety of maternity clothes that don't necessarily look so "motherly," but they're actually cute. I ended up getting 2 pair of shorts, 3 pair of pants that roll up into capris, and 2 cute dresses. Hopefully I'll be able to stay in these clothes until at least November!
We've been busy on Miss Priss's room and it's coming together nicely. My daddy bought her a glider and ottoman set yesterday and J put it together last night. It's one of the most comfy chairs and I can't wait to be able to rock Kirkland in it. And J's Aunt Linda has bought her two bags of little clothes. No more comments about me buying her clothes, okay?? I've just been buying stuff to decorate her room now. I bought some adorable things yesterday from Hobby Lobby (love that store). I got 2 picture frames: one for her first ultrasound picture that says "love at first sight" and the other says "I have my Prince Charming, his name is Daddy." I can't wait to get her little pictures around her room. Hurry up November!!
I've started noticing lately that when I eat certain foods it sends Kirkland in a kicking frenzy. I'm guessing that means she likes the food?? If so then her faves so far are applesauce, chicken (that's my girl!), and biscuits, gravy, and bacon from the cafeteria at work. I swear she also takes at least one good tumble/flip daily. Possible future gymnist?? The book says she's over a pound now and she'll be doubling her weight by the end of the 6th month!! Grow Kirkland, grow! She's also supposed to be able to hear voices from the outside, so I constantly remind J that "we have little ears now." She should definately know what music is by the time she gets here as much (and as loud) as I listen to it in the car. I've already got her playlist on the iPod ready with lullibies and soothing music!
Hopefully things will keep going this way and it won't be too long before she's making her presence known!

Week 22
Week 22 is here! Miss priss has definately been on the move over the past week and it's probably from all of the yummy food I've eaten! :) We had a great 4th of July, which I was really excited to be off for, at my parents' cook out and at the house at the lake. No fireworks this year because, of course, an hour before they started I was starving so we had to head back to town so we could eat! Oh well, we'll do next year's fireworks if Kirkland allows us to see them. I'm sad, but happy, to say that I had to buy a new bathing suit...a size bigger than normal. The bump is starting to get bigger and my pants are starting to get a wee bit tighter, but at least I'm getting there! Maybe in a couple of weeks I'll actually look pregnant and not just like I ate too much.
We've been working really hard on Kirkland's nursery and we've gotten so much done. This weekend we're going to buy the fabric to make her bedding and curtains! I'm so really to have her little room put together and have her to put in it! I'll post pictures of our progress so far later this week, hopefully with some week 22 belly pictures.
