23 Weeks

Today is the last day of my 23rd week! 

I had my 24 week appointment today and everything looked great and we are measuring right on track! It's always reassuring to hear that sweet little heartbeat, too!

::This week's Milestone: 

Thursday July 28th- Mr. B and I were trying to hear her with the stethoscope and everywhere he put it she would kick it really hard. It was cute/funny.

Saturday July 30th- felt a big somersault and it was very weird! She was turning all around and it was the weirdest feeling- made me feel sick, like all my insides were twisting. Of course my thought is please don't get all wrapped up in the umbilical cord! Ever since then I haven't felt her as much as I was- so sad {and made me paranoid!}. I guess she switched positions at some point during her crazy tumbling sessions.   ::

                                                                         Gender: GIRL!!! 

Total Weight Gained: Got my official weigh in at the Dr this morning:  +6. 

Sleep: Most nights = insomnia. My best sleep is usually 6:30-9 in the morning {after Mr. B leaves, hmmm coincidence?}

Maternity Clothes: Still LOVE. Wear mostly non-maternity shirts and dresses, but love my shorts and capris. Most of my non-maternity shirts are not looking quite as cute as they use to.

Best Moment of the Week: Hearing her heartbeat at the appointment today

Food Cravings: Appetite is definitely coming back- wohoo! Can't think of any real cravings yet. But now I need to pace myself because I can eat a lot.

Aversions: I think I can handle steak now, but still not ready for Wishbone Italian Dressing.  

Symptoms: Heart burn and still getting sick. This week I think I only got sick once though so that's a big improvement! But so far there hasn't been one week since week 6 that I haven't gotten sick. 

Movement: Yes! Feeling lots of flutters and some big movements too. Different feelings now- feel like we are back to mostly flutters and some little kicks since her somersault.

What I miss: Not feeling sick in the car, being able to slowly wake up/relax in bed until I am ready to get up, a good night sleep. But who cares- it's all SO worth it! 

What I'm looking forward to:  Hoping she will do another turn so I can feel her again! 

Weekly Wisdom: Warn your husband that once that raging hormones are turned on they are really hard to turn off. So be careful! It will be irrational, he won't understand it, you won't understand it- but you can't control it.
