Pregnancy Highlights: Marc was able to feel the baby move, which he loved.
How far along: 23 weeks
Size of baby: According to my weekly email the baby is now over 11 inches long and well over a lb. About the size of a mango. It also said the lungs are developing and the baby can hear every thing that's going on outside. Or in other words: first lessons in how to fight with their siblings. ;)
*According to my appointment and ultrasound the baby is measuring 24 weeks 2 day.
Stretch Marks: Nothing new. The old ones are quite visible now.
Gender: We are not finding out. This baby will be the tie breaker for our family, and for grandchildren on all sides. So we are keeping the gender a surprise until the wee one makes their appearance.
Name: We have some picked out either way, but again are not sharing.
Movement: The baby has regular times when he/she moves around. Early morning, later in the evening and around 2 pm. I'm sure there is movement during other times of the day but these are the times I notice because I'm either A: waking up B: going to bed or C: laying down for a much needed nap!
Exercise: I've been trying to go walking every other day. Not far, about a mile each time. It wears me out though. Between a pulled muscle in my belly that is having a hard time healing and my SI joint being out and not going back in no matter what we do, it can be quite painful. Sometimes I wonder if it's worth the effort. But I will continue as long as I possibly can.
What I miss: I miss sleeping through the night and doing things without all the extra effort.
Cravings: Cinnamon rolls, anything Italian, fruit and salads.
Aversions: Beef, mexican and anything BBQ - oh and anything greasy.
Best moment of the week: Marc being able to feel our wee one move.
Looking forward to: Finishing more projects around the house - yes there are more projects. And going to my appointment on Friday and having our big target ultrasound done in 2 weeks.
