23 Weeks - still a Papaya

Weekly Pregnancy Journal

How far along: 23 w, 1 d

Total weight gain/loss: ?

Maternity clothes: Yup, and Nick's sister just passed along some new shirts. They're pretty big on me still, but I'm sure at this rate that I'll grow into them.

Stretch marks: Not yet

Sleep: I miss normal sleep. A lot.

Best moment this week: Picking out paint colours for the new house (and nursery!) with my mom yesterday

Movement: Yup. Nick finally felt it this week! Only a couple of times throughout the week, despite how many times I said "quick! put your hand here!" But last night, the baby was SUPER active when I was lying in bed and over the course of 5 minutes he felt it 4 times, loud and clear. It was awesome :)

Cravings: Still sour, though I'm not sure it's really a 'pregnancy craving'. I've always liked sour things, I'm just in a 'sour foods' kind of mood these days.

Aversions: None

Gender: Everyone still thinks we don't know

Labour Signs: Nope.

Belly Button in or out: In, for now.

What I miss: Sleeping comfortably

What I'm looking forward to: The house! And getting our new Ford Escape that we impulse-bought on Friday night! (We had been looking at sedans this whole time, and on Friday decided on the SUV)

Weekly Wisdom: Try not to worry that my SIL, who is 2 weeks from her due date, is about the same size as me now.... Sigh.

Symptoms this week: Cankles. I don't always have them, but I definitely swell up when I've been on my feet all day.

Milestones: Nothing new this week
