23 Weeks

How far along? 23 Weeks!

Size of the baby? Corn. Also, Dr. says he is 1.2 lbs!

Total weight gain:  Loss of two lbs, so I am down to a total gain of 9lbs. Crazy, I actually lost weight when I feel like I eat like bear at a campsite.

Maternity clothes? Went on a shopping spree for some shirts. Everything is so short on my belly and my boobs are three times the size before pregnancy if that's even humanly possible. 

Sleep: I wake up in the middle of the night wide awake ready to start my day! Oh, no. I need my sleep.

Best moment this week: Seeing Raymond get excited about the baby. I think he's more ready than I am!

Movement: Lots of rolling, kicking, nudging, flipping. . .I hope Raymond gets to feel him this week because he likes to stop when he tries to feel him.

Food cravings: Pistachios. And Cereal.

Anything making you queasy or sick: Sometimes I feel Nauseous in the morning, but other than that I'm good.

Gender: Boyyy.

Symptoms: I feel like I'm carrying a bowling ball in my belly, it gets heavier by the day. My feet hurt, I rarely want to stand for 10 minutes straight. It's near impossible to make it through the whole mall.

Belly Button in or out? Innie!

Wedding rings on or off? Off.
