23 Weeks!

Pregnancy Highlights

How Far Along: 23 Weeks!

Total Weight Gain: 14 lbs

Maternity Clothes: Just shirts...like I've said before I'm sure I'd be in maternity pants if I HAD to wear them, but I just use my belly band and yoga pants for now. I'm really loving a maternity jean skirt that someone gave me though right now.

Best Moment this week: Seeing my belly twitch and move when she's moving!

Gender: Little girl:)

Movement: Lots of movement! I feel her on and off everyday and can't get enough of it! The other day we were extremely low on groceries and I was desperate and ate some wheat (I know, it's a gamble and a risk, but I didn't get sick this time) and little girl went CRAZY from 6pm to midnight. Either she's not used to me eating it, or her little body doesn't like it as well. Either way it was fun to feel her move so much as long as she was ok:) We love being able to not only feel her from the outside now, but SEE her move as my belly twitches sometimes! So cool!

Food Craving: Not any huge cravings as my detest of certain foods seems to be disappearing. I had a small steak the other day and the garlic bread in our fridge keeps screaming my name! I guess you could say I'm back to my normal pallete of tastes:) I have noticed that I've wanted more vegtables lately, but that's probably because I wasn't able to eat them for so long and my body wants to play catch up.

What I miss: I actually saw a Mike's Margarita in our fridge the other day and thought how good that would taste right now. I really haven't missed drinking all that much, but I think it was just a fleeting moment...it was probably the day when the heat index was in the 100's!

Sleep: No changes...I am blessed with being a good sleeper. I do still wake up 2-3 times a night to either go to the bathroom or flip to the other side, but I'm sleeping again in seconds.

What we are looking forward to: A fun trip to Detroit Lakes with some Bismarck friends! We were all going to be in the area at the same time (well, we live here I guess) and decided we should meet. We are staying at a hotel on the beach and I am hoping for some awesome weather!

Symptoms: Just baby kicking and a few round ligament pains here and there that are so short lived I forget when I even have them.
