23 weeks

{Dress: Old Navy}

A quick belly shot before Brynnie's birthday party on Saturday... and what a beautiful day it was!  More on that later though ;)

My "What to Expect" app is telling me that this baby is about 1.5 pounds and 8.5 inches from head to heinie and I can totally feel every inch of him/her.  This week, the rubbing of limbs across the front of the belleh has begun.  Pretty soon? I think I'll be able to identify each limb as it sticks out and turns my belly into all kinds of lopsided lovliness.  But for now, I'll just continue to enjoy all this moving around before it really becomes uncomfortable. =)

Annnnnnd I'm back.  Yep, I'm back to completely not caring what we're having again {Remember? I went though that little rough patch after my sister found out she was having a girl? Yeah, that.}  But I'm totally cool now.  I knew team green would prevail.  I knew I wouldn't cave.  {Ever.}  And it's just in time for my upcoming ultrasound on Friday.  Whew!  

I can't wait to see my little pumpkin again!  I plan to annoy every tech and doctor that comes into my room and quickly remind them that we don't want to know what we're having.  {Because I'd much rather be "that annoying girl in room 7" than have someone slip, accidentally.}  I'm also keeping my fingers crossed that this baby is no longer breech, though I totally feel like he/she is because of the strong kicks I feel down by my tailbone. {They're lovely.}  I know there's still time to flip, but I'd rather that happen sooner rather than later {especially considering that my monster babies tend to run out of room a little faster. ;}

Pregnancy: 23 weeks

Weight Gain: 10 pounds

Sleep: It's okay.  I feel tired a lot {especially after this weekend} but I've been waking up in the middle of the night and having trouble falling back asleep.  {And? It's not even to pee.  I have a bladder of steal and have no problem making it through the night without going.}  I guess it's just practice. ;)

Gender: We're team green, so we'll find out in September!

Names: Reid Joseph or Emerson Mae {see the name post here!}

Feeling: I've had a sore throat for like a week now and my allergies have been some kind of AWFUL. 

Health:  I have my monthly OB appt on Friday before my ultrasound and I'm hoping my BP is still in check.  I certainly don't want it creeping up this early!

Movement: See above :)

Belly: Getting bigger {of course!} Still no linea negra and my belly button has been out for awhile now.  Here's my "standard" belly shot for 23 weeks!

And for comparison, here's my 23 week belly with Brynn! 

Next Appointment: OB & Ultrasound: This Friday, May 25th at 23w5d.
