23 Weeks

How far along: 23 weeks
Size comparison:  Baby is the size of a large mango, 11 inches long and just over a pound.

Baby bump:  I was wearing my white lab coat today at work and a patient asked if I was expecting... Yes, it's getting bigger.

Gender Prediction:  Still saying boy.... But really, what the heck do I know?  I'm sure it will end up being a girl.

Weight gain: 13 lbs.  Feels like 30 some days.

Maternity clothes: Maternity shirts and leggings, regular pants with Bella band.

Stretch marks: None so far!

Belly button in or out:  Innie

Wedding rings on or off:  On... But my engagement ring is kinda tight some days.

Sleep: Sleeping pretty well, actually, but I never feel like I get enough of it.

Best moment this week:  Making progress on the nursery!  Crib and artwork have been ordered, and some room accessories have been purchased.  I also think that we have decided on an OB!  Annnd, last but not least, my glasses came in, and I can actually see. It's a miracle.

Worst moment this week:  Bad pregnancy/baby dreams... Can't the funny ones come back?

Miss anything:  I still want my energy back.... And a craft beer wouldn't hurt, either.

Movement:  Baby is a movin' and a shakin'!  Feeling the movement all over my tummy these days, from down low, to my sides and up past my belly button!  I can't ever predict where I will feel the movement.

Cravings:  Fruit and anything spicy.  I've really been craving Burger King's Angry Whopper, which is kind of weird considering I've only ever had one, which happened to be after a night of partying for my bachelorette party in the Power and Light District.

Queasy or sick:  Pretty good, overall!

Happy or moody: Happy mostly, although I've been a little hypersensitive lately.  I feel like everyone is mad at me or upset with me, or like I'm always doing something wrong.  Amazing how pregnancy can turn a woman a little crazy! ;-)

Looking forward to:  Letting my nesting phase continue to take over!  Ready to get this house organized and clean!  So excited to buy storage and label the pantry this weekend. :)
