23 weeks

How far along? 23 weeks

Baby Hart is the size of: A large mango.

Total weight gain/loss: Been a few weeks since my last appointment and weigh-in, but I have one this Wednesday and will know then:)

Maternity clothes? Yes, and my awesome mommy-in-law fixed my favorite maternity capris that were nearly falling apart- yay!!!

Stretch marks? Not yet.

Sleep:  Slept AMAZING this week thanks to being at my in-laws!  They took Silas in the pack in play in their room so we didn't have to worry at all about him and could sleep in every morning!  And since we weren't at our noisy apartment it was sooo quiet at night.  Yayyy!!!

Best moment this week:  Getting to be in Iowa and catch up with family and friends!

Miss anything? Laying on my stomach.

Movement: TONS.

Food cravings: I'm one big prego foodie.  I can EAT.

Symptoms:  Been feeling pretty good!

Showing? Well someone said to me, in more of a statement than question form, "So the baby's coming soon?" Um, no.  I'm just a truck.

Gender:  It's a boy!!! And no, I didn't "need" to have a girl!:) And yes, 2 boys will be just as fun and fabulous as the "perfect" American dream boy and girl!! (If not more;))

Belly button in or out? Um....I don't even know anymore. ;)

Wedding rings on or off? On.

Adjustments? Everything, always.

Emotions: Excited!!!  Can't wait to snuggle the new lil mister!!!

Learned this week:  That time is FLYING.  Second pregnancies definitely feel like they go a LOT more quickly than the first time around!!

So thankful for:  My in-laws and all their help this week!!

Looking forward to:  House hunting hardcore when we get back to Greenville!

Week 23

How far along? 23 weeks

Baby Hart is the size of: A pomegranate.

Total weight gain/loss: Added almost another pound- 10 pounds total

Maternity clothes? Yes!! Yay:)

Stretch marks? Not yet.

Sleep: Boppy. Body. Pillow. A-mazing:)

Best moment this week: Registering!

Miss anything? Allergy medicine.  Holy pollen everywhere, Chattanooga!

Movement: Movement has really become even more amazing!  I can feel him slide and spin and do all kinds of acrobats: and wiggles:) 

Food cravings: Food. In general;) The appetite has definitely been increasing! Definitely a lil Hart guy influence;)

Symptoms:  Been a great week actually- not nearly as much sciatic nerve or rib pain.  Although I might have caught myself flopped in our arm chair whining to Jason about how "very, very pregnant" I felt;)

Showing? Oh yes.

Gender:  Baby Hart is a boy:)

Belly button in or out? Um.... neither??;)

Wedding rings on or off? On.

Adjustments? We adjusted our house for Baby Hart quite a bit this week!  Cleared out a bunch of stuff and rearranged some furniture to get the used-to-be-guest-room a lot more ready to be a nursery!

Emotions: Excited... anxious... :)

Learned this week: That registering is a blast but will result in brain crash;) Oh, and no matter how prepared you thought you were, you will still stand in the aisle feeling totally ill-equipped as to how many of such-and-such you need and which exactly of this you need.... and you will get home and realize the several things you forgot to register for;):)

So thankful for: My awesome husband and the several projects he got done this week around the house- I think he's nesting:):)

Looking forward to: My first baby shower, on April 24th at my work!

Other highlights:  I also really enjoyed seeing my amazing friend Rikki who came to visit Chatt, and going baby shopping with her!!!  We found this amazing monkey stuff from Babies-R-Us that is perfect for the monkey theme we're gonna do!
