How far along: 23 weeks. I swear I couldn't keep track without these weekly updates!
Weight gain/loss: Up a half pound again this week. I haven't been counting .5 pounds since the start, but after two weeks of a half-pound weight gain, I think it's time to start counting it. This is terrible, but I can hardly remember what weight I started at! I wrote down my weight this week so I can remember easily from now on. If memory serves correctly, I am up 10 pounds.
Feeling: Great this week! The more I exercise, the better I feel.
Maternity clothes: Yes! I am also happy to report that my bizarre pregnancy symptom was actually a result of my dark maternity jeggings dying my body blue. Thank goodness, right?! My thighs don't look blue, but after using a baby wipe to test this theory, I discovered a blue baby wipe. Phew.
Stretch marks: None.
Sleep: Already sick of sleeping on my side. Too bad for me.
Best moment(s) this week: We had a fun family day out on Monday! It was so easy and stress-free. I totally needed it!
Food cravings: Nothing special but I am always thirsty!
Gender: BOY!
Movement: Tons but nothing painful since it's still early.
What I miss: Still missing my nightly glass of wine. (I have a feeling this will be a trend.) I also miss my memory. I can't seem to remember anything these days.
What I'm looking forward to: So many fun things happening in the next two months! I can't wait to enjoy them all in my comfortable second trimester.
Weekly wisdom: My sister reminded me this weekend that it's a pregnancy hormones are the REAL DEAL. There's no denying I've been an emotional wreck lately. I don't remember being like this last time, but was quickly reminded that I was, and it's okay.
Milestones: He has stretched to the size of a spaghetti squash (about 11 inches) and weighs about one pound. (I'll find out more at my appointment today!)
Due date: 3-13-13
