At 25 weeks I have gained 16 pounds from my first doctors appointment, but around 21 in all. I put on a quick 5 lbs from weeks 5-9. With my last pregnancy I gained probably over 50 pounds, (I refused to look at the scale towards the end.) and I don't want to do that again. I exercise every day and try to eat healthy, although I do slip up often.
I'm still feeling great and loving these summer hours. I still get up really early, usually to do my exercise, but then take an afternoon nap with this lovely girl daily. Caroline actually goes to her school Tuesdays and Thursdays and that gives me time to clean, shop, laundry, blog, or whatever. Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays we usually hit up Hawaiian Falls, play, eat, rest, and play some more. I am soaking in every minute of this relaxing summer!!! My next doctors appointment is the glucose test. I am weird and love the taste of the orange soda type thing, so it's not too bad for me. They let me take it home this time, so I drink it at home and head towards the office for the blood draw.
As of this point, still no for sure names or definitive plans for a nursery. If you see anything cute for a boy, send it my way!

The rest of this week we will be preparing for Caroline to turn 3. Her birthday is this Friday, it's hard to believe! It seems like I just had her.
This is a picture from right before I delivered her. This is actually a pretty decent picture, I'll post more later down the road that show my true size.
And here is the little one her first week home!
I can't wait to hold another baby...3 more months!

You look awesome! I'll be thinking of Caroline on Friday (my due date) although I'm sure I'll watch it go by with no baby yet! Ha.
3 months will be here before you know. With the second one you will find it to be more relaxing... it's fabulous!!
You are beautiful! Good luck with the GD test! Can't wait to see pictures of that sweet baby boy of yours!!
You look SO good. Gosh I hope I look that good at 25 weeks. That little picture of Caroline at the bottom makes me SO anxious to have a tiny baby!!
You know what name we really, really liked? I posted this on Facebook after your comment, but I never know if people go back and check them. Anyway- we loved the name Reid. We were so close to picking that instead, but for some reason it just didn't feel like this baby's name. (I know that sounds kind of ridiculous!) I think that sounds really good with Caroline and also with your last name. Reid Gilmore. Don't know if you like it, but I don't know any Reid's and I think it's really cute.
Also- just thought of another one I really liked a while back was Hayes. Nick didn't care for it, but I still think it's cute.
You look amazing!!!
You look awesome!!! Cant wait to meet little man!!!
You look fantastic! 3 months will be here in NO time! We liked Nicholas, Seth, Asher, Tyler, and there are a lot of really cool names that are not widely used...I will send some your way!
