23 Weeks BumpWatch!


How far along? 23 weeks, 3 days.  Almost to Viability day!

Weight gain/loss: As of this morning, 20 lbs.  Gulp....

Feeling: I had a pretty decent week overall.  The back pain was minimal and the swelling was surprisingly low even though we hit the 90's over the weekend.

Maternity clothes? I just bought 2 new awesome outfits.  One is the maxi dress I'm wearing in the picture above from Soma Intimates - you can't see the detail at the bottom of the dress unfortunately.  Another, is a long cotton skirt from Old Navy with shades of blues, greens, black, and white.

Sleep: The cool air in the evenings this week are going to be awesome for sleeping.  I make Scott leave one of our windows open and I sleep without sheets/blankets for the first time in my life.  This pregnancy I'm always HOT!

Food cravings: Greek salad.  I haven't had one yet this week, but it's going to have to happen for lunch one day.  I'm foreseeing a trip to Leo's in my future...

Movement? Very, very low all the time.  A few jabs on my left side, but I'm still surprised I'm not feeling anything higher.

What I miss? Having cute little toes and fingers.  The Vienna Sausage look is really hot....

Best moment this week: We had an awesome weekend!  I went shopping with my mom on Saturday Up North at an outlet mall and then we went to the Tigers game on Sunday with Sean and had a blast!

What I'm looking forward to: This long holiday weekend!  Hopefully heading Up North to my in-laws' cottage for some relaxation on the lake.

Next Appointment: Wednesday, May 30th at 3:20pm with Dr. Weiermiller for my 1 hr. glucose screening.  Yay!

Milestones: Mr. Grapefruit is a whopping 11 inches long and weighs over 1 lb. now!  Blood vessels in his lungs are developing to prepare for breathing, and the sounds that his increasingly keen ears pick up are preparing him for entry into the outside world.  Better stop bumping that hip hop music in the car now...
