23 Weeks

It's been a few weeks since I've done a Bumpdate-- but we've been quite busy the last few weeks. It's been an exciting and fun busy! We had a quick getaway to Amelia Island, FL and went to Indiana for our gender reveal party with family. I will post about each of these on their own, along with a few pics from our trip & party. But for now, I will leave you with a few pics from Week 23 and a short update on the pregnancy/baby.

How far along? 23 Weeks (and 2 days)

Baby Size: Around 11-11.5 inches or the Size of a Grapefruit!

Total weight gain: around 16 lbs.

Maternity clothes? I'm still wearing maternity pants (love them!) and alternating a few normal shirts/sweaters & a few maternity. I can finally somewhat fill out a maternity shirt & a few of my normal shirts are getting too tight/short if I try to wear them. 

Stretch marks? Not yet! 

Sleep: MUCH Better! My Snoogle is AMAZING!!! No discomfort while sleeping, just potty breaks in the middle of the night-- I'll take it! I have started having weird dreams. I dreamed that if you pressed hard enough on my belly, it would glow & you could see the baby inside of me!

Recap of last few weeks: We enjoyed an amazing getaway to Amelia Island, shared the news of baby Boy with family & friends at our gender reveal in Indiana, and really just busy planning nursery/registry for baby-- along with the busy work life! 

Miss Anything? A glass of wine on a stressful day-- but other than that I am loving pregnancy right now!

Movement: Yes! He's most active on my drive to work, after meals, and of course when I'm trying to go to sleep! 

Food cravings: I've been on a Spicy/Salty kick the last couple of weeks-- anything with jalapeno has sounded great! However, I have still enjoyed a few sweets here & there (especially our visit to Indiana-- I always eat lots of treats when I'm visiting home!)

Anything making you queasy or sick: Nope!

Gender: BOY!

Labor Signs: No.

Symptoms: Growing Belly, Baby Movement, Some Indigestion, Some strong pelvic pains that happen randomly  :(

Belly Button in or out? In.

Wedding rings on or off? On.

Mood: Happy for the most part! No crazy mood swings in a few weeks-- yay!

Looking forward to: I know it's several weeks out, but I'm looking forward to Thanksgiving. We only got to see our family for a couple of days-- it was such a teaser! My family is visiting for Thanksgiving this year, so I'm ready for that-- especially since we'll be working on the nursery & shopping on Black Friday for baby deals :)

I hope everyone has a wonderful rest of the week!
