25.5 Weeks

25 Weeks 2 days

Brayden, Matt, & I are all doing well these days. As you can see from the photo, I have gotten quite a bit bigger in the past month since my last photo was posted. I am still feeling good most of the time, but get tired at night much easier now. I am also finding that it is harder to do some simple things like washing the dishes (my stomach/bruises hit the cabinet which hurts & then I strain to keep off the cabinet which puts pressure on my back) & getting the clothes out of the washer/dryer. Luckily, I have a hubby who doesn't mind helping with these tasks.

We were at the beach for about 11 days & Brayden seemed to really enjoy it when I got in the water, whether it be the ocean or pool. It was great to spend so much time with the family. We really enjoyed hanging out with everyone & spending time with Sid (Brayden's cousin who will be 1 a few weeks after he Bradyen is born).

Also while we were on the vacation I started actually seeing my stomach move! This was amazing to me & still is. I can sit & watch my stomach for hours as Brayden kicks & moves in there. Of course, the first time I rushed over to get Matt so he could see this amazing act & Brayden decided that he was done moving for a while. I think Matt finally saw the movement & felt a really big kick on Sunday night, 2 weeks after it started!

We went to the Allison Krauss/Robert Plant concert on Friday night. I am not much of a concert goer, but I really enjoyed the show. Brayden seemed to enjoy Allison Krauss (he moved around a LOT when she was singing), but was not a big fan of Robert Plant. We will have to see if that is really true once he is born.

We go back to the Dr on Monday, so hopefully we will get some good photos during the U/S. I am excited to see how much he has changed in the past 4 weeks. We only have 13.5 weeks to go until we can all meet Brayden for real!!! I can't believe how fast the time is going by!

Take care
Jennifer, Matt, & Brayden
