25 weeks

I'm 25 weeks pregnant. This little guy feels pretty big in my belly. He moves a lot! So much that I actually never worry if he's okay in there. I can feel feet pushing, elbows, knees, rolling... he doesn't like when I set the computer on my belly. He will push on it with his feet, lol. Justin says he thinks that's b/c the computer gives off heat. I don't know...

I've been feeling pretty good in the mornings. I get tired easier. I don't bend over or down anymore. Don't ask me to get on the floor! lol My belly feels really big for just being 25 weeks. No new stretch marks yet though.
As far as cravings.. not so much. I like to eat more fruit than normal. I was craving chocolate cake last week. And I'm having heartburn at night. Two nights ago I was up until 2 a.m. with heartburn. It hurt in my back, chest, and throat and I tried to sleep sitting upright on the couch. Even that didn't work. Finally, after 4 Tums, a glass of milk, and time, it went away.

I'm debating cloth diapering or disposables. Cloth diapers are just so expensive! People say you save money by cloth, but I don't see how that is when you pay twenty dollars for one diaper. I can get 72 disposables for less than that.. plus, you have to buy new sizes in cloth diapers so that's at least three investments.

I've been considering the sleeping situation too. I can give him Ashlyn's crib and put her in a bed. Or I can keep her in the crib and put him in something else. I have the co-sleeper but it's pink. I wonder if there is a way to cover it and make it another color?

I will need clothes for him and diapers. There's a few odds and ends I will need also. I'd like to get a new boppy. We saved the bouncers, toys, etc... from Ashlyn though so we have all of that. Also, a friend gave me some of her son's clothes. Those are already washed and put away in drawers :)

My next OB appt. is June 22nd.
