How far along? Finishing up 23 Weeks
Baby is the size of a: Very large grapefruit. I saw no grapefruits that matched the size requirements, so I went with two :) Fun fact, Charlie weighs about as much as a pack of Oreos!
Total weight gain/loss: Up 4.6lbs for a total loss of 12.6. WOAH. I GAINED ALMOST 5LBS in a WEEK?!? Granted I will say that last week was using a different scale since we were in Atlanta. However I think the weight gain has less to do with different scales and more to do with missing 4 workouts and eating all that yummy Thanksgiving food!!
Symptoms: Major sinus congestion and crud. UGH it's been miserable. The back and forth to Atlanta is usually rough on me anyways so it's just escalated at this point.
Wedding rings on or off? On, but swelling has me taking them off after long days
Belly Button in or out? In, but my surgery scar is poking out of it now!
Sleep: Rough while in Atlanta. The beds at both of our parents' houses might as well be cement slabs compared to our bed in Valdosta. I was so glad to get back home to our own bed.
Food cravings: Sweets, sweets, and more sweets. UGH I thought I was past the sweet craving. JD gave me some story about sugar having the same affects on your brain as cocaine. Hmmm....
Anything making you queasy or sick: Nope!
Miss anything? Sleeping on my belly. Normal sinus functioning.
Happy, Moody, or Emotional most of the time: Honestly a good mix of everything this week. It's the holidays though so it's always a stressful time of year.
Workouts: Nonexistent, and I could so feel it when I finally got back in the gym. It's amazing how quickly you can lose all your hard work!
The Bump: Huge. Too tired to go measure.
Have you started to show yet?: Definitely.
Stretch marks? No new ones, just the same two.
Maternity Clothes? Yup. Still loving it all!
Gender: BOY!
Any Names Picked Out Yet: Charlie
Labor Signs: Yeah right
Movement: My wiggle worm is still hanging out in the same spot on my left side. He's ventured towards the middle a few times but is steering clear of my right side. I love being able to feel him now, and it's even better when JD can too :)
Best moment this week: Spur of the moment plans for lunch with Rosalie. 3 hours with that girl was EXACTLY what I needed! Love and miss her dearly. I'm also excited because we moved the recliner out of the living room and into the nursery so we had room for our new Christmas tree. It's not the chair that will stay in the nursery, but it at least lets me see exactly what the furniture set up will be like in there. I love it!
Looking forward to: Seeing Charlie for an hour on Thursday when we have our level 2/fetal echocardiogram :)
