Baby's movement had decreased in intensity over the last 2 weeks. I was a bit concerned, but not overly worried, since the frequency was the same. After yoga Thursday night, baby must have changed positions because it's been non-stop strong movements and pokes & kicks ever since!

We've decided to use mainly cloth diapers, which should be interesting. I can't wait to see how that works for us. I'm not worried about the hassle of laundry, but the upfront expense is a bit daunting. We've registered at a cloth diaper company, so hopefully that will help.

So far, i don't have any stretch marks or bad swelling. I still have lots of energy and am keeping very active. I'm starting to get more tired in the afternoons, but luckily i can take a break at work and rest on the window benches for a few minutes.

We posted the job opening for my replacement last week. So far, no really good replies, but i did get a hold of the community college today and they're going to forward our position to several of their business students. Since i have the same educational training as they would have, my boss is very keen on hiring someone from those courses. Wish me luck - i told my boss i'm going on Mat leave whether they find a replacement or not!!!

159 lbs
10 squares TP
25w6d - 99 days left!!!!

Heard the heartbeat again this week - 136/138. Such a lovely sound. The baby kicked the doppler and that was fun, too.

Baby may have finally changed positions. Feeling lots of movement all over the place now, instead of just straight down. Last night, while laying in bed, Melon curled up on my side like she always does, but this time it really felt like the baby moved away from her. Guess she was on baby's head or something!

No more leg cramps yet. I'm stretching every night and taking my cal/mag. Seems to be working!

So i started off my day today by getting stuck behind the bathtub. Yes, you read that correctly! I dropped something behind the tub and it looked simple enough to reach. Unfortunately, my extra belly weight pulled be down heavy across the tub, pinning my arm between the tub and the wall. The extra weight also prevented me from easily righting myself.

Luckily, Jay was home, although he was still asleep. I yelled until he woke up and pulled me out - by this point i was nearing hysterics because a) it hurt and b) i was stuck and didn't know how to get out!!

Crazy antics of a pregnant lady... :)
