Week 23:
Pregnancy Stats:
How Far Along: 23 weeks 4 days
Size of baby: Large Mango
Total Weight Gain: I was a little scared of myself when I stepped on the scale this morning. 139..... holy crap. I haven't weighed 140 since I gained the Freshman 15...make that Freshman 30 in college. 18 lbs gained. OUCH.
Gender: Still have no idea. I have my 2nd anatomy scan today (BP wouldn't flip over last time so she couldn't get a good picture of the baby's heart) and I'm praying that I don't accidentally find out. That would seriously break my heart. I love the suspense.
Movement: Still tons. One of my 3rd grade kiddos said "Is that baby having a party in there or something?!?" HAHAHA!
Sleep: Sleeping much better. I'm back to the Snoogle for most nights, but sometimes I have to prop myself up.
What I miss: During this EXTREMELY hot summer I am currently missing an ice cold Dos Equis. There's nothing like hanging out on your back porch with a nice chilly beer and relaxing after a hard day. I don't necessarily miss getting drunk but I do miss the flavor of beer.
Cravings: Pad Thai with chicken, Kung Pao chicken, peanut butter sandwiches, popsicles, Icees.
Symptoms: Just my hips and back hurting. Other than that I feel really good. :)
Best Moment this week: Yesterday Casey and I were sitting around on the computer and the baby was kicking really hard. I looked at my stomach and you could see it kicking through my shirt! Casey got to see it as well and is finally feeling the baby kick (significantly) as well. I think it's been tough for him because I get to feel the baby moving all the time and every time he puts his hand on my stomach he can't really feel it (at least he's not sure if he's feeling it). Anyway, it was really cool and special to see the baby moving my belly around.
