Growing baby and belly - 25 weeks

I wanted to document a few things about my pregnancy thus far, since I know my memory will fail me!!  I'm finally starting to look pregnant!  My baby bump has really come a long way in the past two weeks.  I FINALLY felt her ever so slight kicks/punches for the first time around Week 22.  Matt was able to feel her for the first time around Week 23/24.  She has since starting moving all the time!  She's VERY ACTIVE!  But I love it and so far LOVE being pregnant!

Pregnancy Highlights:

How Far Along:  25 weeks
Weight Gain:  So far, I'm at 11 lbs.  However, I go back to the doctor on Monday, so that number will increase!
Maternity Clothes:  Yes and I'm lovin' the comfort!  Started wearing maternity clothes around Week 20-22 (I think).  I still prefer regular tops, though.  I was wearing my belly band for a while before converting to maternity clothes.
Gender:  Female - Kinley Reece Watson
Movement:  All the time!  Girlfriend is quite the busy little bee!
Weight:  She weighs 1 lb, 12 oz.  Got an ultrasound yesterday (May 6th).
Cravings:  Nothing!  Although I do enjoy a taste of something sweet after practically every meal.  :)
Sleep:  I sleep pretty well for the most part.  I get up about two times per night for bathroom visits.
Symptoms:  I don't think I'm going to hit that 2nd trimester high that I've heard so much about (considering my 3rd trimester is a mere two weeks away).  I'm still tired A LOT, but seem to push through it everyday.  I've never had to take a nap break at work, so I'd say I'm doing pretty good! 

We found out yesterday that her crib is in!!!  WooHoo!  Matt, his dad and older brother are picking it up on Saturday.  Her bedding is in, just waiting on that crib!  We're also waiting on her curtains and glider.  Still need to pick up a dresser/changing table.  Overall, I'm feeling really good about our progress towards her room!

Here's a picture I took yesterday in my office at work - Week 25:
