Week 23

23 weeks and 3 days

How far along: 23 Weeks

Weeks to due date: 17 Weeks

Total weight gain: 13 pounds

Maternity clothes:  Yes, and I Love them!  

  

Sleep:  This has been a pretty bad week for sleep.  On Monday night I started feeling sick and by Tuesday morning I was super congested and coughing a lot. It was hard to sleep because I couldn’t breathe very well.            

  

Best moment this week:  I can feel the baby move and now…. So can Andy!!!  And anyone else who wants to feel.   On Wednesday night we were lying in bed and about to say our prayers and the baby was moving a lot!  I had Andy feel my belly because I was pretty sure I could feel it on the outside but wasn’t positive.  Then… he felt our baby move!!!! It was a pretty sweet moment! So now he and a few of my friends have had a chance to feel!  

What I miss: I've been missing my family a lot!

Movement: Oh yes! I am feeling our baby more and more and now others can too!    

Food cravings: Food! I’m hungry allllll the time!  

Making me queasy:  Nothing

Starting to show:   Oh baby yes! I am showing!  

Gender:  We shall know in about 17 weeks =)    

Happy or moody:  I feel very happy! Obviously I’m not perfect and I have my moments but I truly am enjoying this pregnancy and life overall!     

Things I've been experiencing this week:  This week has been pretty good despite being sick and tired.  We are in full camp mode and have been for a few weeks now which means Andy and I are working 6 days a week and working 10-12 hour days…  We both love this ministry and how it glorifies God which makes the busyness and lack of sleep worth it! At the same time a little more sleep and rest could be nice =)

What I'm looking forward to:  Jr. High camp! My sister will be here for a whole week! And my parents are bringing the youth which means family time!! 

Size of baby:  A Grapefruit
