23 weeks

How far along: 23 weeks today.

Total weight gain : 12 pounds! I gained 7 pounds since my last appointment. I'm up to 109 now. She said I'm right on track though, so I don't feel as bad about it. I also need to realize that I AM going to gain weight. I also know I'm to the point where I'll be gaining a pound a week, plus Blake is a pound now.

Maternity clothes : Sweatpants/cotton capris t shirts.

Stretch Marks : Not yet but I'm sure some will be creeping up soon. I do have those little purple veins in various spots on my stomach though.

Sleep : I go to sleep easily, but don't sleep through out the night because I have to get up and pee a lot. I also get up really early and can't ever go back to sleep. Goodbye goodnight sleeps...

Miss anything : Being skinny, being able to carry the girls around and lift heavy shit. Not feeling like a fat whale.

Movement : Yea. He's been kicking up a storm lately! Right now too actually.

Food Cravings : I love golden crisps cereal. Chicken, of course. I crave chicken strips, salty fries and ketchup a lot!

Anything making you queasy or sick : Not really.

Gender : Baby boy!

Symptoms : Not really.

Looking forward to : The babyshower! And the BIRTH! Well, not really the birth, more so afterwards when I hear his first cry and he's in my arms! It's going to be amazing!! I think about it so much.
