Baby Bump #2 --- 23 Week Update

Baby Bump #2 Update

Friday, February 1, 2013

1. How Far Along? 23 weeks 

2. Due Date? May 31, 2013 

3. Do you know the gender? a little girl

4. Size of the baby? About the size of a GRAPEFRUIT! (10.5-11.8 inches) (How Big is Baby?)

5. Total weight gain? DOWN 25lbs from pre-pregnancy...... still.

6. Maternity Clothes? Depends on the day & how large I feel lol.

7. Any stretch marks? Nope :)

8. How's the sleep? Decent I guess. John has been waking up a ton still due to teething, but I've been able to fall back asleep fairly quickly after getting up with him.

9. Best moment this week? Wednesday- I passed my German driver's test! 

10. Missing anything? Anything? Not really. Someone, yes! Nathan left today for a 40+ day TDY mission. I've been on the verge of tears all day from stress & just feeling sad in general. We lost a good family friend last night & I'm really upset we live several thousand miles away. Add on pregnancy hormones & you've got yourself a basket case waiting to burst.

11. Baby Movements? Yep! She's laying transverse with her head by my bladder. That's a good time, especially when I cough or sneeze ;)

12. Any cravings? Smoothies & fruit. A&W Root Beer.

13. What makes you sick or queasy? Beef- especially raw. yuck!

14. What pregnancy symptoms are there? Round ligament pain, fatigue, backache, mood swings, forgetfulness, heartburn, acne, frequent headaches, frequent bathroom trips & pregnancy rash (PUPPS), a small varicose vein on my right leg, & out of control hair growth. 

15. Any labor signs? Nope.

16. Can you still wear your wedding rings? yes

17. Your mood is...? A little down for the reasons stated previously. I've just been stressed & highly annoyed this whole week with everything & everyone. Poor Nathan. I know I haven't been the easiest person to live with. He's probably grateful for a little "vacation" from his crazy wife lol.

18. Looking forward to? Relaxing tonight with a little bowl of cannoli dip & vanilla wafers :)
