Twenty Three!




How far along? 23 weeks, 4 days
Total weight gain: 12-13 lbs
Maternity clothes? All the time...had to even break down and buy a pack (yes I said pack) of Hanes Her Way granny panties. They are simply amazing while pregnant. 
Stretch marks? No but this belly is stretching so I've got to start lathering up the Nivea even more.
Sleep: Blah. Sleep is off and on ok. I get up at least twice in the night. Each time I get up and go back to bed you are moving like crazy. Do you ever sleep???? I guess during the day. 
Best moment this week: Getting to lay out in our pool for the first time this year; the sun felt amazing and I already feel better having a little sun on this pale skin. Also, feeling you have the hiccups for the first time this morning at 5 a.m. was precious. 
Miss Anything? No
Movement: Your movements get more and more distinct each week. Can't wait for your Grandma to see and feel you move this weekend! 
Food cravings: Any kind of baked good. Can't get enough fruit and cottage cheese this week either. Your Daddy has been cooking for me all week. He was up at 6 a.m. this morning cooking pancakes and bacon. He even packs my lunch and multitude of snacks each morning he's off work. You are so blessed to have such a dedicated and loving Daddy. 
Anything making you queasy or sick: Not. At. All.
Gender: BOY
Labor Signs: No...better not be for a while. 
Symptoms:  Feeling very hungry all the time! Back started hurting a little this week and my sciatic nerve started acting up as well but quickly went away. Loving every bit of this pregnancy; each change or new symptom confirms you're really in there and growing like crazy. 
Belly Button in or out? Neither in or out at this point. Belly button is even with my stomach at the moment. 
Wedding rings on or off? On
Happy or Moody most of the time: Very happy but get emotional real quick and out of no where 
Looking forward to: Seeing Mom for Mother's Day weekend...showing her your room and letting her feel you move. She is so excited. Looking forward to seeing all of our family in a couple of weeks. This is a very exciting and busy time of year!
