23 Weeks

How far along? 23 Weeks
Total weight gain/loss: Oh right, i was going to get back to you on that one....next week!
Maternity clothes? Actually none in this weeks photo.

Stretch marks? It sure feels like i'm getting some new ones, can you say itchy belly?!
Sleep: Sleeping has finally been tolerable. I get up once a night to pee, other than that i am used to tossing & turning a bit and am snoozing pretty good these days.
Best moment this week:  I don't know why but i hate this question. I feel like i never have "best moment" moments. The lazy 3 days weekend of being snowed in and eating and baking to my hearts delight was pretty good.
Miss Anything? I miss easily being able to put on my socks, and shoes, and pants, and being able to pick things up off the floor. Also, (i don't think i mentioned this last week) but i was put on lifting restrictions a couple weeks ago ((during the week that we pretend didn't happen)), and believe it or not i miss being able to vacuum my own floors and MOST of all being able to pick up my own daughter! Don't be fooled, being told you can't lift anything and have to let everyone else do it all for you sounds great...until it happens to you. Talk about feeling incompetent. 

Movement: Yes, still an active boy. But i'm thinking he's already starting to lose a little space in there, it's a tish bit less than before. I think he's already\gonna be a big boy. Yikes!!
Food cravings: Anything warm, hearty, and homey. Although now that the weather turned back to nice, it doesn't matter so much.
Anything making you queasy or sick: I'm back to being queasy feeling til about 11am when i get a good amount of food in me. Then i start to not feel so good from being too full. And back we go again.
Gender: He
Labor Signs: No

Symptoms: Rib pain. I never felt that with Emelyne, not so pleasant. Super itchy belly! And just plain feeling very heavy and weighed down.
Belly Button in or out? In-ish...and i might add that it's position has moved northward by quite a bit. So....weird!
Wedding rings on or off? On
Happy or Moody most of the time: Neither. Just glad to finally be passing the time tolerably and hoping that it keeps going faster.
Looking forward to: Getting a new niece in 2-4 weeks! A new baby to play with and practice on before my lil guy comes along. And hopefully once she's here the time will go by even faster!








In other news, i just have to say how nostalgic today has been. 4 years ago today, Aaron & I went from a happily married childless couple to being surprised, happy, and nervous parents. (She surprised us by coming a bit earlier than expected!) I hate to say it, but allllllll those cliches that go along with being a parent are totally true. But there it is. Emelyne has taught me how to love in a way i never knew was possible. (Most times) she makes EVERYONE around her happy to be in her presence. She's honestly the most imaginative, sweet, endearing, creative, goofy, weird, passionate, caring, BEAUTIFUL little girl i know. Biased? I'm sure some. But ask around, most others would agree with me. LOVE.THIS.LITTLE.GIRL
