I wasn't showing at all at 25 weeks. I didn't start showing until around 8 months, really! Now, I'm definitely not tiny like you, but a lot has to do with your height, the length of your torso, and your uterus. My doctor thought I was going to have a 5 lb baby and he was double that! Just crammed in there. 
But you should feel very lucky... my sister couldn't bend over, paint her toenails, nothing at 25 weeks. Once you start getting a belly everything gets super uncomfortable.

UMMM THAT'S EIGHT WEEKS AWAY FOR ME. TWO MONTHS. NOT THREE. TWO.
My carpet still hasn't been ripped up.
I still don't have a crib.
I still want to re-take the SATs.
I STILL DON'T HAVE A NAME PICKED FOR MY BABY.
and every one of my siblings and cousins has been born at least 3 weeks early.
Thank you for your panic inducing notification, your fox baby transporter is ADORABLE. Where did you get the pattern for it?
I'm always happy to spread the panic. I freaked out at 25 weeks, 30 weeks, and then at 34 when I realized that we could have a kid ANYTIME NOW. Somewhere between 25 and now though a LOT of stuff fell into place and I feel a ton more prepared than I did before. You'll get there I promise!!
The pattern came from Instructables. There are tons of them out there but I liked this one the best. Not a huge fan of the way the cut pattern is laid out though - I redid it entirely to make sure I had it right. Also, if you have a Joann's near you I have a coupon for 50% off you can use for the canvas. It's $11 a yard and you need two yards of it so it's a decent savings.

I'm on holidays this week and I'll be 30 weeks on Friday. In honor of this milestone, I have decided to spend this week sleeping as much as possible since I'm about to learn the definition of sleep deprived.
I'm definitely worried about all the stuff that hasn't been done yet (hubby is *supposed* to be putting flooring in this weekend*) but it hasn't quite erupted to full blown panic. Yet.

I went today and bought fabric to "make" a Moby Wrap. (I use the term "make" lightly. It's not going to require any sewing unless I want to hem it up or something. It's just fabric to use as a moby wrap.)
I just tried it out sans baby and it seemed like it worked well. I still need to trim the width of the fabric, so it was a little bulky, but otherwise it seemed a) easy to figure out and b) comfortable.

Yuck Barbara! Hope he lets up on you soon!
The past week my cats have been like Velcro. I haven't noticed any behavior changes in my dogs since becoming pregnant but this week, even my antisocial cat who hasn't cuddled with me ever really, is snuggled up.
And my young guy insists on licking my hair and resting his head on my shoulder:

Every single night, two things happen in my life.
#1:
Mom - I want you to look at something I saw online.
Me - ok
Mom - *pulls up a crib bumper* Do you want me to buy this for you?
Me - no.
Mom - you don't think it's cute?
Me - I'M NOT USING A CRIB BUMPER.
Mom - the baby is going to hit it's head.
Me - ...no it's not.
Mom - babies like soft things in their cribs.
Me - They also like unrestricted airways.
#2
Mom - Do you want me to order this diaper bag for you?
Me - no.
Mom - you don't like it?
Me - I haven't liked it any other night this week, WHAT MAKES YOU THINK I'M GOING TO LIKE IT NOW?!?!
