Week 23

How far along?  23 Weeks
Size of Baby:  Grapefruit
Total weight gain/loss: I think I’m still at about 5 lbs.
Maternity clothes?  Normally I am in all maternity clothes, but the dress in the pic happens to be a pre pregnancy dress that still fits!  Yay for shopping in my closet 🙂
Sleep:  I’m doing well with it this week.  I have found out that my parents mattress is way better than mine!
Best moment this week:  Spending the weekend with my mom.  We went fabric shopping, went to see my grandmother, and spent hours just talking.  I love that I am now close enough to go spend some time with her when Wes is really busy at work.
Miss Anything? I know it is silly because it is still so early and I have quite a ways to go, however I am starting to miss bending easily.  I have to repaint my toes because they look awful after the sand and waves did a number on them but I am dreading it since bending is uncomfortable that I haven’t done it yet.  I wasn’t planning to do a pedicure until later on when it was impossible to do my toes not just uncomfortable but doable.  However, I’m starting to rethink that and I may go treat myself soon!
Movement: Baby is moving everyday and I think I may have seen my belly bulge at one point.  It was in my peripheral vision and once I started staring baby didn’t cooperate but I think the visual of movement may be starting! 🙂
Food cravings: bread!  I love it and can eat it at every meal!
Anything making you queasy or sick:  not this week
Gender prediction:  Thinking it is probably a boy.  As I was praying over the baby this week I got a very clear vision of me baby wearing a little boy at church.  We shall see!
Labor Signs: Nope
Symptoms:  major low back and hip pain, peeing often, and a very hearty appetite… I think my feet are starting to swell if I stand too long too
Belly Button in or out? In
Wedding rings on or off? On
Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy!  My energy has been up for the most part and I have been able to get things accomplished!
Looking forward to:  Hearing our baby at our appt this week!  I know it is something that we have been able to hear since week 9 but it is still so exciting and I love it every time! 🙂
