How Far Along: 23 weeks, 5 days
Size of baby: more than 11 inches long and weighs just over a pound (about as much as a large mango) (according to www.babycenter.com)
Total Weight Gain/Loss: I've gained 19.5 lbs total as of my appointment on Thursday, 2/7. I only gained 2.5 lbs since my last appointment a month ago, so I was happy about that! (b/c my sweet tooth has been raging!!) My belly is measuring right on track.
Movement: Still the same - I feel her mostly at night or in the morning when I’m laying in bed. When I’m on the go during the day, I don’t feel it nearly as much since she’s still very small with lighter movements.
Sleep: Still the same = Not good! I think I only sleep for like 2 hours at a time before I either wake up to turn to my other side or to go to the bathroom (mostly the latter!)
Symptoms: Still the same - Never ending trips to the bathroom, restless sleep, some mild heartburn, “aches and pains” (we’ll just leave it at that – no details there!), sciatic pain every now and then when I move/step just the right (or wrong?) way.
What I miss: sleeping straight through the night and not hurting after being on my feet!
Cravings: If I don’t get Gringo’s soon, I might hurt someone, LOL! Been eating a lot of strawberries and as I said above, sweets!!!!!!! Something is wrong with me. I ate an entire bag of Reese’s PB hearts this week by myself. Also, Caleb and I made some funfetti cupcakes and I polished off a lot of those, too!
Best moment this week: Hearing baby girl’s heartbeat and all the sweets I ate, LOL.
What I am looking forward to: Raiding Caleb’s Valentine’s Day candy from his school party, haha!
