23 weeks

 

 

How Far Along? 23 weeks and 2 days

Baby Size: Every baby website and app says something different... we're somewhere between 11-13 inches long and a little over a pound.

Total Weight Gain: Haven't checked this week

Maternity Clothes:  Let's play what's worse: Wearing your husband's underwear since all of the ones you have clean no longer fit - OR - having to wear your husband's underwear UNDER your belly since they don't really fit around your belly.

Stretch Marks:  None yet that I know of...

Best moment this week: Getting 1/2 of my house clean. This is the cleanest it's been since February! Registering was pretty funny. Ben was having a blast with the little scanner gun. His rolling dialog was entertaining as always. Favorite quote of that night: "HA - HA! You got up like a pregnant lady!"... pause... "I bet people who heard that think I'm insensitive."

Miss Anything? Not really.

Movement: She still loves her Daddy the most. Also, I think when she's really going through a growth spurt, she must sleep a lot. (That's just a guess though.) BUT I noticed something weird over the last week and a half. Caffeine makes my child quiet. I know, I know. Everyone says that Caffeinated beverages should make her move and groove... but I promise, the more caffeine I drink, the quieter she gets! (Now, a McDonald's fruit smoothie really gets her going!)

Food Cravings: Cold and sweet.

Anything making you queasy or sick: Not eating. And over-doing it.

Started to show yet? Can't really hide it any more...

Gender: Girl!

Belly Button in or out? Sorta in but sorta flat??

Wedding Rings on or off? On.

Weird Pregnancy Stuff? Braxton Hicks. They've been happening for a while, but they really do increase if you over-do it and don't drink enough water. (Which can scare the pooh-nanny out of you!)

 

My belly feels like it's stretched to the limit. Which really worries me because I know we still have a LONG way to grow.

 

Looking forward to: Our Babymoon/Vacation! I haven't had any real, quality alone time with my husband in so long... we're just looking forward to enjoying each other and not worrying about work, family, friends, bills, cleaning... anything. Even if it rains the whole time and we hide in the room the whole time, I'm just so glad we're getting away! I'm trying to convince him that we need to turn our phones off the minute we get there and to leave them off for the duration... lol
