Not really a true "babymoon" but Jeff had to go to Hawaii with the Army National Guard, so I just had to go, too! I spent some time on the beach and shopping alone, but we got to go to Pearl Harbor together then we got to drive around the island on Sunday.
The 6-hour flight wasn't as bad as I imagined and I was surpisingly comfortable with a pillow behind my back. (Jeff took another flight on an Air Force plane).
That's my newest and biggest pregnancy complaint in month 5--back pain! My doctor said it could be from gall bladder issues, but it doesn't seem to be since I don't have the pain after eating certain foods. I think I may have pulled something and now I just have normal pregnancy back pain as well.
The last couple weeks have been great because I've felt the baby move (I'm pretty sure now, but wasn't so sure at first...is that gas or a baby?!?) Now I think I'm actually feeling him kick :-) He kicked me somewhat hard for the first time while I was on the plane and I almost laughed out loud because it was so weird!! Jeff hasn't had a chance to feel him yet, but it's getting more frequent so I'm sure he'll catch it soon.
I am now getting very excited to go back and visit everyone in Illinois for Christmas. Melissa and Beth are planning a baby shower on December 20 so I am so excited for that, too!
Here's a new photo at 25 weeks, 5 days. Melissa took this one of me with my new Kate Spade diaper bag she got me for Christmas. It's so cute and not too girly for Jeff to carry!
