23 Weeks

how far along? 23 weeks

how are you measuring? Roughly 35 1/2 inches

size of baby? According to my What To Expect app 8 inches and 1.2 lbs

heartbeat? At our 19 week appointment 151 bpm

total weight gain/loss? +15 lbs... oh man.

maternity clothes? Mom felt sorry for me and got me a couple pair of shorts and tops. I'm so much more comfy now. The bellyband was only cutting it for so long.

stretch marks? No... fingers crossed
sleep? I sleep pretty well but I'm missing being able to turn on my back. I've been putting a pillow under my belly and in between my legs to help stay comfy but every time I turn over to lay on my other side I have to readjust. This happens quite often during the night. I'm only getting up for a bathroom break once a night, though, which is nice.

best moment this week? I actually saw the baby move on my belly! Such a cool sight!

movement? I feel most movement in the evenings and mornings. I feel her a lot more when I'm not being active, but when I'm out and about I don't feel her as much.

food cravings? Doritos have been my latest 'craving'. Today Shane pointed out that he had never seen me eat Doritos, but I'm on my second bag in 2 weeks. Yikes.

gender predictions? It's a girl! We still haven't decided on a name. Faye is going to be the middle name after Shane's grandma. Shane's favorite names are Emmy, Emelia and Penelope. He seems to lean toward traditional. I seem to lean toward unique. My favorite names are Hadley, Scout, Sage, Sloan and Lyric.

what i miss: Sushi and a large vanilla Dr. Pepper. yum.

what i'm looking forward to: getting baby furniture. We'll need to wait until next month, but I'm excited about getting furniture in her room!

how are you feeling? We have an appointment tomorrow to have my glucose tests. I'm a little anxious about it, but other then that I'm feeling great.
