23 Weeks!


Sorry for the last post being my 20 week post, I had it typed and never posted it, Pregnancy brain is tough haha.

23 Weeks and still feeling good!

Size: A Mango, approximately 11 inches and 1 pound, yes we are in pounds now :).


Weight: Last appointment at 20 weeks I had gained 10 pounds, we'll see what's in store for my next one at 24 weeks.
Movement: Yes I feel her all the time, I have learned now what gets her going and what times of the day I can expect her to be awake. Steven felt her for the first time at 21 weeks while we were sitting on the couch together, he yanked his hand back like it was something crazy. Now he loves to put his hand on my belly and wait for her to kick him, it's just so great!!!

Appointment: Next appointment is 24 weeks on August 3rd, then the next appointment is the dreaded glucose testing, YUCK!

Sleep: I wake up now to every little noise, and I have to wake up to turn to my other side, seems a little early for this haha.

Symptoms:

-Lower abdominal achiness-CHECK

-Heartburn-CHECK

-Nasal Congestion-this has actually gotten a little better!

-Hearty Appetite-Oh yeah, and just can never figure out exactly what I want!!

-Sensitive skin-I never thought this would be a pregnancy symptom but with 2 of my worst sunburns ever I've decided I will stay pale for the remainder of this pregnancy

-Itchy Stomach haha
-Lower bach aches

Here are a few new shots at 23 weeks with my other 2 pregnant friends, Kristen is 17 weeks and Kim, well was due the day after these pictures were taken!




20 1/2 weeks

Yayyy Halfway there! 201/2 weeks and feeling great! Here are a few pregnancy updates:
Size: A banana, approximately 10 ounces and 10 1/2 inches

Weight: I am right on schedule with what Baby Center says is normal, 10 pounds! Now if I can only keep it 10 pounds for the second half, 20 for the whole pregnancy doesn't sound half bad :). (Wishful Thinking)

Movement: Yes! I can feel her kickin up a storm now and I feel like if Steven were patient he could probably feel her, I just have to learn her patterns. I definitely feel her when I am sitting still at work or laying in bed at night.

Appointment: Heartbeat was 150 at our 20 week appointment yesterday. I will have my glucose test not the 24 week, but 27 week appointment, not looking forward to that!!

Sleep: Starting to not sleep as well at night, seems like I can't get comfortable and with my stomach muscles sore, it's sensitive to flip from one side to another. Or I wake up afraid I'm sleeping on my back, oh well I can live with this!

Symptoms:

-Lower abdominal achiness-Definitely

-Heartburn-This has started to happen more

-Nasal congestion-Definitely can't breathe at night

-Hearty Appetite-Check!

-Nausea kicked in a little this past weekend

-Itchy Stomach

Here is my belly shot at 20.5 weeks!
