I'm 23 weeks!
Pregnancy Highlights:
How Far Along: 23 Weeks
Size of baby: 11 inches from crown to toes…the size of a large mango and she weighs just over 1 pound.
Total Weight Gain/Loss: Gained ~7 lbs according to the doctor last week plus what I’ve gained. According to my scale, I’m at ~10 lbs. (Yes, I haven’t gained anything this week…more details below.)
Maternity Clothes: Pants. All else is regular. I am having to pick and choose on shirts because they are getting shorter.
Gender: It’s a precious baby girl!
Movement: Every day. She is getting stronger in her kicks.
Sleep: I'm sleeping poorly, but I don’t think that has anything to do with the pregnancy.
What I miss: Well for part of the week, it was food. Once I had food, it was energy.
Cravings: Cake and Sweets and Mexican
Symptoms: Growth pains. Jabs and flips. Definitely the stomach is growing. Kidney Stones….
Best Moment this past week: On Sunday, I started having pain and by Monday we were at the hospital, Tuesday they operated to remove the kidney stones (after finding them), and discharged me on Wednesday. The only good news of the hospital was that we got to see another ultrasound of our baby girl. She is a show off. The ultrasound tech confirmed that she is still a she (no surprise for me there…). Despite the not fun week, the ultrasound was definitely my bright spot.
