Baby Diaries #9

How far along? 23 weeks

Total weight gain/loss: 15 lbs

Maternity clothes? Yes and yesterday I wore my Maternity Bridesmaid dress!

Stretch marks? Nope :) 

Sleep: was easy last night!  After the busy wedding festivities....all it took was looking at my bed!

Best moment this week: Being in KS & TV's wedding!  I guess It's KV & TV now!  Congratulations you two!

Movement: After not feeling anything yesterday (I think I was running around too much) I'm feeling her move quite a bit tonight.  I'm hoping this means we will be able to feel her from the outside soon!

Food cravings: Not at all.

Gender: It's a Girl!

Labor Signs: Nada

Belly Button in or out? A little more flat this week than last.

What I miss: doing everything for myself.  I've had quite a few times recently when people tell me to stop what I'm doing and rest.  I still feel fully capable and don't like having that taken away.

What I am looking forward to: Anther short week at work leading up to ANOTER wonderful wedding!

Our last of the season mind you!

Weekly Wisdom:  I love my baby bump.  I am not ashamed of it.  I stripped down to my undergarments to change for the wedding and didn't think twice about it.  I don't think I've ever felt so confident in my life!

Your Baby in Week 23 of Pregnancy
Your little doll-sized babe is about to chub up a bit. Her saggy skin will start to fit her frame as fat deposits fill things out. Beginning this week, she'll start to pack on the pounds (which means you will too!) and by month's end she'll be double the weight she is now (though you won't be — whew!). Right now, your baby's organs and bones are visible through her skin, which has a red hue due to developing veins and arteries beneath. But once those fat deposits settle in, she'll become less transparent.

We weigh just over 1 pound this week
and she is now 11 inches!
