How's it going? Really well!!! I love this point in pregnancy. I am comfortable. I can eat. I feel great. The only thing I notice outside the realm of "normal" life is that my heels hurt after standing a while. That's a pregnancy symptom that started with Elizabeth. Weird. I don't get heartburn or have to pee a lot. My belly is still out of my way. ;) Life is good.
Weight gain? My goal is to hit 35 pounds. In the past I gained 45, 35, 38, and 35. I would LOVE to only gain 25-30 this time but that is NOT happening. I'm already up a full 20.
Movement? Ha, not much. She may win the prize for mellowest belly baby. June was a eerily calm baby in utero and she reminds me a lot of him. I am not worried about her. I do feel her, but not often, and usually it's only via hiccups. I rarely get feet jabs. It would be awesome if this means she will be a laid back chica, but I'm not going to lie... movement is the BEST part so I almost wish she would spaz out a bit more. :P
Kids reactions? June talks to her often already. He says goodnight to her almost nightly. Josh and Eliz tell me how many kids we have, especially how many girls all the time. The don't pay much attention other than that. Emily just has a nice shelf to ride on when I hold her.
My feelings? I can't believe I'm already 25 weeks. Soon my doctor appointments will get closer together and time will CLICK by. I am anxious to meet her and see what she looks like and what her demeanor is. I'm also thoroughly enjoying being at this point in pregnancy because I still feel cute and my clothes fit over the belly so I'm fine with her needing all Summer to bake yet.
So yeah... 25 weeks down, 15 to go!

You look adorable!!! I love how my older kids are reacting to this pregnancy - makes it so much more fun than the last couple because they're so excited :) Cecilia keeps asking me if the baby is born yet...
