23 Weeks

 


Hello, and happy St. Patty's Day! We are being very lame and not really celebrating this year...but hey, I think I have a decent excuse :)  We've just been chugging along with everything - lots of progress being made with the belly! Here are the updates:

How Far Along:   23 weeks 3 days
Baby is the size of: a grapefruit - about 11.5 inches and over 1 lb.
Symptoms: Still pretty hungry - starting to get a little uncomfortable however when I eat very much at once. A lot of lower back pain and some other achy joints as well. Still got that stuffy nose too. But I have to say I have been feeling pretty good.
Movement: Lots! She continues to move more and more all the time especially in the evenings when I lie down. You can feel her kicks from the outside sometimes now. I love it :)
Have you told anyone? Everyone knows!
Miss Anything? Not getting winded after 5 minutes of walking!
Food Cravings: Still cereal and ice cream. Anything cold. Lots of milk.
Anything making you sick/queasy? Nothing. It makes me so happy to say this!
The Bump: It's not slowing down at all! Growing like a weed :) My belly button is starting to get really shallow too - it's weird. 
Gender prediction: Baby K is a GIRL!
Mood: I've been feeling pretty good for the most part. 
Best Moment this week: We got to see my parents this weekend for a quick visit! It was really nice to see them - it had been a while. We also have started our Bradley Childbirth classes in the last two weeks. We have already learned so much and I am really excited for more! Very happy we are taking these classes!
Looking forward to: We have another Dr. appointment this next Thursday. It should be just an easy routine checkup but it's always lots of fun to get to hear the heartbeat!
