23 weeks and I feel…

HOW FAR ALONG –  23 weeks and some odd days 🙂

////

TOTAL WEIGHT GAIN-    At last OB appt it was a grand total of 11 lbs…I’m going to guess probably 12, 13, or so at this point?

////

MATERNITY CLOTHES?-    Maternity shorts and one maternity dress. Other than that this week it’s been stretchy old clothes I already had! I did buy a few dresses that have a lot of give, but luckily they weren’t maternity so I can wear them after baby, too!

////

STRETCH MARKS?-   NO. Thank goodness. Let’s stay positive!

////

SLEEP?-  Pee breaks and baby jabs. This week was a little more disrupted than last. Sigh…it will only get more interesting.

////

BEST MOMENT THIS WEEK?-    Darren felt a teeeensy bit of Elsie moving! He said it felt like a little heart beat pulse! I can’t wait until he can feel a huge karate kick from her. Although…that means I’ll be feeling it allllll the time. Also, got some cool registry gifts this week!

 ////

MISS ANYTHING?-     Super sweaty workouts. THE SUNSHINE!!! Regular clothes. My golden tan. <—-Still all of that.

////

MOVEMENT?-  Yep! stronger!

////

FOOD CRAVINGS?-  Gone.

////

FOOD AVERSIONS?-   Gone.

////

GENDER-  Our baby is a sweet AND active girl.

////

SYMPTOMS-    Happiness! Lots of energy this week. Breakouts come and go. I’m getting used to it. Tired early. More pee breaks this week. Gotta practice my kegal exercises more!

WEDDING RINGS ON OR OFF?   ON :)

////

LOOKING FORWARD TO-  moving OUT OF THIS TINY HOUSE! And baby showers!

Belly at 23 weeks!

Sorry I’m more than a few days late posting! I have had an incredibly busy week. This week was pretty awesome. I definitely feel some growth this week, and Elsie’s kicks are getting stronger. One night this week she woke me up at 4am with a huge jab to the uterus. I realized this is only going to get worse/funnier. Hopefully this is the last picture where I will be wearing winterish clothes. The weather here is about as random as Elsie’s kicks & punches!

Love!
