23 Weeks
Well this week certainly has been busy. It was a long week back to school after a short week last week. And my kids were pretty hyper, but I survived, or I should say they survived and we have a nice short week next week. I am excited about Thanksgiving. Every year I have so much to be thankful for. Nothing big has happened this week. Pretty basic and nothing new with the pregnancy either. Artie and I are going to be ordering our stroller. The Chariot! I am so excited to get it. I will make sure that I post pictures when it comes in.
23 Week Quiz
How far along: 23 weeks and 3 days today
Weight gain: I weighed myself on Wednesday and I'm up about 17 pounds. I feel like that's a lot, but I have to keep reminding myself that I'm growing a baby inside of me.
Maternity clothes: It is the same as last week. I can still fit into some old shirts and pants with the belly band, but mostly I'm in maternity stuff. And I think it looks pretty darn cute.
Stretch marks: My belly is still really itchy, but I'm trying to keep the stretch marks away.
Sleep: I've had good sleep this week. Nothing too bad to complain about.
Best moment of the week: I think feeling the baby is the most amazing thing to me. I feel him or her dancing around in my belly at very specific times. I've gotten used to it too.
Movement: He/She is moving a lot. I have begun to notice some patterns to the movements, like when to expect to be kicked or punched and stuff like that.
Food cravings: Nothing really.
Labor signs: No!
Belly button in or out: It's begun to itch. Please don't let that be a sign that it's going to pop out.
What I miss: I miss being able to hold my bladder in school. I feel like I'm always going, but then again, I don't exactly have many breaks in the day to relieve myself.
What I'm looking forward to: We have our next appointment coming up this Tuesday. I'm really excited for that, even to just hear the heartbeat again. Plus I'm excited because my brother is planning on coming out around Christmas time, and that's just exciting.
Weekly wisdom: Keep on top of the important things.
Milestones: Turn on the radio and sway to the music. With her sense of movement well developed by now, your baby can feel you dance. And now that she's more than 11 inches long and weighs just over a pound (about as much as a large mango), you may be able to see her squirm underneath your clothes. Blood vessels in her lungs are developing to prepare for breathing, and the sounds that your baby's increasingly keen ears pick up are preparing her for entry into the outside world. Loud noises that become familiar now — such as your dog barking or the roar of the vacuum cleaner — probably won't faze her when she hears them outside the womb.
(By the way, I made Artie dance with me the other morning because of this) :-)
