I am so behind on the blog - It was a busy week & weekend and now I am pooped out! Here are my stats from last Thursday......
How Far Along: 23 weeks+
Size of baby: Our baby girl is over 11 inches long and over a pound according to babycenter.com. She is about the size of a large mango.
Total Weight Gain/Loss: I am thinking I am close to the 10 lb mark. I will find out at my appt on Friday...
Maternity Clothes: I am still wearing some non-maternity clothes but they arent that comfortable...there are still a few things that fit fine but my work pants are all maternity and I need the belly band for my jeans.
Gender: Girl!
Movement: Its great! It is such a God given gift, especially for this over emotional worried pregnant mama...
Sleep: I have developed some sleeping issues and they are no fun! I have been getting progesterone shots weekly & have wonderful bruises on each hip (that I am very grateful for). I am a side & stomach sleeper and since sleeping on my stomach isnt really working out, each time I turn onto my side I wake up in pain...so it makes it interesting....
Symptoms: It seems that if I "overdo" it at all, I start to have contractions. So I have been trying to take it a little more easy!
Cravings: Sweets!! Not good for the waistline friends.....not at all!!
Best Moment this week: Surpassing the 23 week mark. This has been the longest amount of time I have been pregnant!
What I am looking forward to: Figuring out the paint for the baby room...and other rooms of our house! We are still debating but are coming close to a decision!
It was great getting past the 23 week mark. I am so thankful for a healthy baby girl! She moves constantly and I can tell she is growing, as the kicks and movements are becoming stronger. It has been a wonderful day here in MN - I was able to open the windows and turn the air off - seriously made me so happy!! I love it! I hope this weather stays for a long time.....that HOT & Humid weather is just not for me at all. Have a wonderful week!
