23 Weeks

How far along? 23 weeks

Total weight gain:

 12+ pounds 

Maternity clothes? 

Mostly maternity due to the fact I have so many maternity clothes and I’m lazy and I don’t want to attempt regular clothes. A lot of the pants I have are still really big but I’m sure it’s only a matter of time. 

Stretch marks? 

Nope

Sleep: 

Great! Minus the leg cramps..

Best moment this week: 

Jamie feeling Jackson KICK!! I’m still excited about it!

Miss Anything? 

Nope!

Movement: 

He is moving all the time now. I love it!  

Food cravings: 

Evil sweets! I made Jamie buy German chocolate cake mix this week.. I have’t actually made it yet but oh my. I'm also slightly obsessed with tator tots. I buy the organic ones so at least they aren't processed :)

Anything making you queasy or sick: 

Chicken. Lettuce. GROSS. 

Gender: 

BOY!

Labor Signs:

No!!! 

Symptoms: 

Oh rib pain is awful. It’s to the point I thought I pulled something but it does go away sometimes. Hip/back pain too. This is getting really bad at night. I can't image how bad it will be once I'm bigger. I have started getting some leg cramps at night.

Belly Button in or out? 

I would say give it one more week..EKS!!! It’s so close I’m scared. 

Wedding rings on or off? 

On! YAY

Have you started to show yet?

Yes! The cashier at Publix asked me if I had someone at home to help carry groceries. When I told her nope my husband just had surgery she said Oh my goodness!! She packed the bags light. So sweet of her. Too bad I had to carry a zillion bags up three flights of stairs. It did make things easier! I do really like this mom at work who keeps telling me how small I am :)))) She's the only one! hahah

Happy or Moody most of the time: 

HAPPY!!! :))) So EXCITED!! Easily irritated which is just irritating.

Looking forward to: 

Working on Jackson’s room this weekend- hopefully.  I realized I only have 13 weekends that we are in town to finish everything.. YIKES! Getting nervous!

Workout:

Same as usual!

Reading:

I have two more books that are in my amazon cart to order and read. Then it is rereading time. Convincing Jamie to read the books..that's a whole other story. He loves to NOT read them and then argue with me about what I learned... tsk tsk!
