23 Weeks:

Pregnancy Week 23:

How Far Along: 23 weeks, 4 days

Total Weight Gain: It fluctuates between 5 & 6 daily

Maternity Clothes: Yep, daily! As seen in this picture though, I have on maternity leggins but an awesome shirt given to me from the one and only Kathy Patrick, it isn't a maternity shirt but it is SO comfy!

Stretch Marks: Nope! Thank God!

Sleep: Ah, it comes and goes.  Some nights I sleep perfectly, some nights I'm up every hour on the
hour.  The cat has been waking me up an hour before my alarm and it's starting to make me angry.  My hips hurt at night so I have to change positions often.

Best Moment This Week: CHIROPRACTOR!  Oh Heaven's to Mergatroid I felt like a new woman when I walked out of there!  My hips and back even felt better last night!  I'm planning on going "as needed" but I feel like I'll "need" it twice a week! :)

Miss Anything?  Pepsi.  Oh my gosh, when Kyle gets a Pepsi, I take the biggest, longest, coldest swig I've had in so so long.  It's divine, I would feel guilty if I drank a whole one though.

Movement: Yep, all the time.  She especially moves when I sit or lie down.  If I'm up walking/teaching/moving, she's pretty still.

Food Cravings: Sweet stuff still.  Last night I dreamt about a giant waffle cone with 2 big scoops of strawberry ice cream.  Unfortunately, in the po-dunk town there is NOWHERE to get one, so that craving is still un-satisfied and it will probably eat me alive until I drive somewhere that has hand-dipped ice cream and waffle cones!

Anything make you sick or queasy: Nope!  I can even eat meat now!

Gender: Girl

Labor Signs: Nope

Symptoms: Moving baby and swelling. If I get warm my fingers swell so badly.  Friday night I went to the basketball game and it was SO HOT in that gym that I had to take my rings and watch off while in the stands because I knew if I didn't, I wouldn't be able to get them off.  They're back on now but shewww it had me worried!

Belly Button in or out?  In, but it still looks weird... really it's the spot where it was pierced all those years ago, but it's looking like it's on its way out! :(

Wedding Rings on or off: On for now.... that may change soon though (see above)

Happy or Moody most of the time?  Happy Happy Happy Happy Happy!  Kyle and I were discussing last night how I am not sad, sappy, naggy, angry, or easily annoyed like they portray pregnant women on TV!  I'm genuinely mostly happy.  Although, today during class, one kid broke the scalpel just as I handed it to him and it sorta made me snap (not the thing you want to happen while you're carrying around a bin of sharp objects.  I wasn't very nice to him, but he deserved it. :)
