23 Weeks

How far along? 23 Weeks
Total weight gain/loss: up 8.5 lbs+ my appetite has increased SO much in the past 2 weeks, so I'm sure at my appt on tuesday I will be MUCH more.
Maternity clothes? I haven't gotten anything. I need to get some pants probably pretty soon! I have a few tops but mostly I've just been wearing sweats and tshirts. And I am still fitting into my pants.
Stretch marks? Not yet.. we will see though.
Sleep: I fall asleep strong and hard and then once I get up to pee the first time its not so smooth sailing. I don;t know what it is but I'm just not as comfortable anymore.
Best moment this week: We went out to Elk Grove to look at the stroller I want! That was a lot of fun starting to get familiar with all the baby stuff! I wore my baby loading shirt to chipotle and the lady gave me my guacamole for FREE! score!
Have you told family and friends: Yes
Miss Anything? No
Movement: Lots of it! Its so cool feeling the baby move around in there! One night this week it felt like my whole stomach was shaking, the baby was moving like crazy!!! I wondered if it was hiccups!
Food cravings: Breakfast food! I can't get enough of the sweet stuff :)... coke slurpee? haha
Anything making you queasy or sick: Salmon this week.. I think its because I saw that picture of mcdonalds chicken nuggets before they're cooked. You know its that pink snake looking thing, YUCK when I was eating the salmon I couldn't stop thinking about it.
Symptoms: Nothing much, same sort of pulling and cramping sensation in my lower abdomen and upper legs. Also my ab muscles feel like they are stretching or something and my organs are pushing around.
Have you started to show yet: I have a little bit more. I got a TON more comments at work about how big I looked almost over night.
Gender prediction: I have my prediction, but of course I don't know for sure. And I'm glad I don't know. I can't wait until Jesse gets to announce the sex during the delivery. That will be an extraordinary experience and memory.
Labor Signs: No
Belly Button in or out? Its almost flat right now!!! Ahhh!
Wedding rings on or off? On
Happy or Moody most of the time? I feel like a little change has occurred since I hit around 20 weeks. Definitely a bit more emotional, whether it's impatient or down or happy. It changes.. but I am so excited and couldn't be more thankful for this blessing!
Looking forward to: My appt on tuesday and Valentine's day! FYI I usually hate vday but lately with all these hormones, I'm actually really looking forward to it!!
