Wednesday Weekly Update
How far along? 23 weeks
Total weight gain/loss: Forgot to weigh myself yesterday.
Any new maternity clothes? No, but still needing some tank tops for the summer.
Any new stretch marks? The same.
Sleep: I've actually been sleeping through the night the past few nights without waking to go to the bathroom until like 6 am!
Best moment this week: Seeing my belly jump when Brayden kicked on 7/13 and DH seeing it on 7/14!
Movement: He's an active boy! He loves when I'm listening to music while I'm in the car.
Food cravings: Honestly, there is nothing that I can pinpoint. Something will sound good and I want it RIGHT THEN, but it's not a reoccuring craving. For example, last night, on the drive home from work, a pretzel with cheese dip and a fresh squeezed lemonade from the mall sounded really good, so I stopped in and got one. :)
Gender: BOY!!!
Labor Signs: Not really, but I do have cramps from time to time.
Belly Button in or out? Starting to flatten out at the top.
What I miss: At this very moment? I miss being at home in my pajama pants because I think my XL maternity pants are starting to feel a little snug around the thighs. UGH!
What I am looking forward to: Finishing up some of the basic decorations in the nursery!
Weekly Wisdom: I don't have any. Sorry.
Milestones: Seeing my belly jump when Brayden kicked. :)
How Big is Baby?
Weeks 21-24 (Month 5): Papaya

He is still the size of a papaya until Week 25.
Baby's little face is fully formed...minus the baby fat, of course. The next task at hand for baby: sprouting two teeny-tiny nipples!
Swollen from head to toe? Increased blood flow, by now an old friend, is to blame. Consider a trip to the shoe store because loosening ligaments will cause your feet to expand even more in the weeks to come.
**I'm going to need to find better updates every week because now these monthly ones are just getting boring.
I use the weekly ones from FF b/c I thought the ones on the bump were boring. lol
