Weeks 24 and 25

Clearly I missed posting my "belly photo" on time last week - but I did take it so I will just post it with today's belly shot.  I still feel bigger than last time, but weight wise I am actually a pound lighter :)

(Ugh!  These self-photos are terrible!!  and out of focus - sorry)
I am still having trouble with my back (left shoulder blade and lower) and some pain low in the front (ligaments stretching I'm told).  And of course my dear old friend heartburn is here to stay.  I even wake up at like 4am with terrible heartburn (that I didn't go to bed with).  It is already my constant companion.  I am trying to continue to eat tomatoes and dairy and things that I know give me heartburn though because when I gave them up with little e then he got reflux every time I tried to eat them and nurse (I guess from not being used to them).

You are super active.  I think you have hiccups half of the day - it really cracks me up.  When you aren't just hiccuping you are moving around or kicking.  I feel like my whole belly jumps sometimes when you kick.  Your daddy has still only felt it once since you are so stubborn.
The doctor was trying to get your heartbeat Monday at our last appt and after the third time of finding it and you immediately moving from the doppler he started to laugh and said 'if she would ever sit still.' I told him you don't do too much of that and he laughed, 'Yes, I can see that.  I think you are going to have your hands full.'  Yes, Doc - so do we.
