What things did you have accomplished by the time you hit 25 weeks?
I feel like there's suddenly so much to do. I've done a lot of research on baby gear, but outside of that I haven't gotten much done. The only thing I've bought is some clothing. We do have our stroller and carseat picked out and I have an idea on a pediatrician we'd like to use.
Outside of that, I haven't done much.
Next on the list is furniture shopping and cleaning the nursery. Right now it's sort of turned into a catch all and has a bunch of random stuff in it.
What have you gotten done?

We've picked a name, we have our crib, and I've bought some clothing, books, and a few toys.
I'll probably paint the nursery sometime in the next couple weeks, and we still need to find furniture for it.
Oh, and I started a registry but I still haven't narrowed down car seats, strollers, etc.
I haven't done anything at this point. (Granted I am a week behind you.)
We have to complete 2 other rooms before we can even get to the nursery, and I know my H is not going to do it anytime soon. I haven't picked out furniture, bedding, anything. I am starting to get antsy and think I will try to start cleaning out one of the rooms tonight. (We are making the guest room the nursery, so must move the guest room furniture to the other room. BUT, before we can do that we have to remove the horrible wallpaper and paint.)
We have her first name picked, some clothes and we have the travel system/car seat because we found the best sale ever, but that is it. The nursery is empty waiting to be filled!
At least I know I am not the only one that feels behind.
I have done lots of looking and have a good idea of what we want just have not ordered any of it yet.
Well everyone is different so you shouldnt feel like you are behind. I am a planner and hate to wait until the last minute. I made a spreadsheet as soon as I got pregnant for baby needs, and have bought things since I found out I was pregnant. We just got our crib and dresser and have set that up. Last night I got out all my cloth diapers and set them up in the dresser/changer. The crib is put together. And we bought one carseat quite a while ago. But I still need to get the carpets cleaned, replace the blinds and hang curtains, and do the actual "decorating" parts. I still have lots to do. And the nursery probably wont be completely finished until after the shower.
