Best we could do at 8am on our way out the door.
How Far Along: 25 weeks...105 days to go!
Gender: A girl!
Size of baby: According to my BabyCenter emails, she's approximately 13.5 inches long and weighs one and a half pounds.
Total Weight Gained: 15 pounds - eek! If you're keeping track, that was 13 pounds in 2 months. Whoops. My doctor told me to "lay off the beer." If he's cracking jokes, hopefully I'm not in too much trouble. I've been trying to cut down on my cereal but it's hard! :)
Maternity Clothes: Almost exclusively now. I have a few non-maternity dresses that still fit over my growing belly. I find the waistband on most maternity pants annoying so I'm wearing dresses almost exclusively. It's much cooler with all the heat we're having already, too. It's going to be a warm summer!
Movement: She's pretty active - she usually kicks most in the morning and at night. I was poking (gently) at my belly the other morning trying to figure out where she was and I felt her shift over to the other side - probably to get away from my prodding! Poor girl, momma's driving her nuts already.
Sleep: Sleep is still okay. I've yet to invest in a pregnancy pillow because they seem like a waste of money and I don't want to bug Brian with a giant pillow in the bed. Any advice on whether they're worth it or not?
What I miss: Blending in. I'm finally showing to the point that it's obvious I'm pregnant and I feel like people look at me more now, bring up the pregnancy, etc. The extra attention is not my favorite. I'll be glad when little girl is here and I can deflect that attention to her.
Cravings: Still cereal. Can't get enough. And watermelon.
Aversions: Plastic is still stinky, though less than before. Other than that, nada.
Symptoms: Nothing significant. I have noticed I now tend to groan or make noises while getting up off the couch. Classy, right?
Best Moment this Week: When one of the partners in my firm asked my due date. I told him and he said "Wow, you're going to be even bigger by then." Thanks dude. Okay, not really. Probably picking a name for our little girl! We're still working on a middle name. I haven't decided yet whether to share the name on the blog and if so, when. Better check with the Mister on that one. ; )

YOU ARE THE PRETTIEST PREGNANT GIRL EVER.
And that all caps was for emphasis, becuase really, you look amazing in that photo.
So cute! I hope you do share the name :)
How has everyone at the firm handled it? The other girl attorney and I were offered out maternity policy the other day- 4 weeks unpaid.
Awesome right?
She's a partner, and they said they would expect the other shareholders (all men natch) to pay overhead if they took a 3 MONTH TRIP AROUND THE WORLD!
We're a little pissed.
PS You look great!
You look adorable. Not big at all. That partner at your office is silly.
You look fab. Seriously you are already that far along? You rock! I love cereal & watermelon and I am not with child. Can partners really be trusted? Just saying.....
You look great Melissa!
How adorable are you!!!
OMFG!! I've definitely been out of the freakin loop! Congrats to you guys!! WOOHOOO!!!
First - you look amazing! Don't fret the weight gain stuff. Every woman gains at her own pace. Maybe your little lady had a growth spurt last month!
Second - I didn't buy a pregnancy pillow either, for the exact same reason. Now that I am at 37 weeks I WISH I had bought one (I can't get comfortable to save my life). All my girlfriends say they are worth every penny.
Love that you're craving watermelon and cereal... two of my cravings too! =)
pregnancy pillows are AMAZING!! TRUST ME!!! We would fight over who got the pillow (of course i won, i WAS the pregnant one!ha) and if i got out of bed first he would roll over and use it. It was soooo hard to give up after i had our son!! I wanted to keep it in bed forever!!! get one... you wont regret it!!

You look so good! I've been wondering if y'all had chosen a name yet. Of course, I'm all for you sharing it on the blog. :)
OMG! You look SO great!!! Glad your co-worker is concerned with how much bigger you'll get, that's always helpful. I hope you shrae the name! I'm sure it's perfect!
