23 Weeks

23 Weeks



How far along? 23 weeks
Total weight gain/loss: It's hard for me to say for sure because I got a new scale and so I'm not sure where my starting weight was, somewhere between my pre-pregnancy weight and having gained 2-3 pounds I think though. 
Maternity clothes? No, but I really need to invest in some soon.
Stretch marks? Not any new ones.
Sleep: Terrible. I wake up all night long and really struggle to go back to sleep. I guess I'm just getting ready
Best moment this week: We went to fetal fotos and took some 3D pictures. We got to see that she is definitely a girl. I'm so excited to know for sure, and our 3D pictures made me so incredibly excited to finally meet her because she is absolutely adorable. And I think going to be so snuggly. She spent the first twenty minutes snuggled up against my placenta so we couldn't get a picture very easily. It also took a very long time to be able to get a picture to confirm that she was a girl. Apparently she is much more shy in that area than Elli was by far. 
Miss anything? Right now not so much. Things are going really good.
Movement: She's starting to get much stronger in her movements. She's not really super active most days, but her kicks are getting harder.
Food cravings: I have been craving Zupas basically my whole pregnancy and this week we went and got some and it was delicious. So that was good.
Anything making you queasy or sick: Nothing really this week, I've been feeling pretty good.
Have you started to show yet: More and more. I definitely am starting to look pregnant now.
Gender: Definitely a girl. It was so nice to have another ultrasound to confirm because I was a little worried after our anatomy ultrasound was not completely confident. But today there was little doubt of her anatomy.
Labor signs: Nothing yet, thankfully.
Bell button in or out? In, and there it had better stay. Luckily it's still super deep.
Wedding rings on or off? On for now at least
Happy or moody most of the time: Happy overall. I get tired and then short tempered some but overall I feel pretty good.
Looking forward to:  Colton getting to feel baby E kicking as well


23 Weeks:
Your Baby is as Big as a Grapefruit
  • She's forming little nipples (yeah, really!)
  • Her face is fully formed now — she just needs a little extra fat to fill it out.
  • She's listening to your voice and your heartbeat — and even to loud sounds like cars honking and dogs barking.
At about 10.5 to 11.8 inches and about 12.7 to 20.8 ounces, baby's not just getting bigger, she's getting even cuter.
