23 Weeks

"Peanut" is about as big as a spaghetti squash. He's about 11.5 inches long now and over a pound. His brain and hearing are more developed this week and he's beginning to recognize my voice. :) I've been battling a cold this week so it's been an exhausting week, to say the least. Still trying to get over it and definitely so ready for it to be gone! 

How far along: 23 weeks

Total weight gain: 10 lbs

Maternity clothes: yes! I couldn't live without them...and if I had to, I would be so uncomfortable. 

Stretch marks: no. 

Sleep: insomnia and it doesn't help that I'm sick so it's even harder to sleep. :(

Best moment this week: finally getting to FL to spend time with family. 

Miss anything: sleeping normally, my energy! 

Movement: Yes, usually at night when I'm trying to sleep. 

Food cravings: biscuits & gravy, sweets! 

Started showing: oh, of course!

Belly in/out: still in.
Mood: tired & sick. :(

Looking forward to: Thanksgiving food! :)

I absolutely love this one of Braxton and I..I think it turned out so stinkin cute! <3

22 Weeks

"Peanut" is about the size of a papaya. He's about 11 inches long now and who knows really what is weighing because he's bigger than the 'normal' fetus. He loves to kick my bladder, which is actually a really weird feeling because I don't think Braxton ever did that. But I don't mind too much because it doesn't make me pee myself..yet! ;) I just love to feel him move, even if it does keep me up at night. 

So, apparently, I completely forgot to take a picture for this week. :/ So sorry! So, I had to resort to this..guess it's better than nothing? 

How far along: 22 weeks

Total weight gain: 9 lbs

Maternity clothes: of course! I usually just lounge around in my yoga pants or pajama pants but if I'm going out- maternity jeans are the bomb!

Stretch marks: not yet!

Sleep: insomnia, as usual.

Best moment this week: visiting with family before we go to FL for a couple weeks. :)

Miss anything: sleeping normally, my energy! 

Movement: Yes, usually at night when I'm trying to sleep. 

Food cravings: I've decided that with this pregnancy my craving is biscuits and gravy. :)

Started showing: oh, of course!

Belly in/out: still in.
Mood: pretty good, actually! 

Looking forward to: spending some time in FL with family and I'm already looking forward to Thanksgiving and the delicious food. :) 

21 Weeks

"Peanut" is about the size of a stalk of celery this week. According to my pregnancy app, Baby is now 11 ozs and almost 8 inches long but from what my midwife says he's already a pound..so I guess he's a little bigger than "normal". 'Peanut' is becoming more and more active and mostly at night so it's even harder for me to sleep! Braxton absolutely loves to feel his baby brother kicking and moving and it's seriously the sweetest thing ever! He now just comes up to me and says "I wanna feel brother". :) 

How far along: 21 weeks

Total weight gain: 9 lbs

Maternity clothes: of course! I usually just lounge around in my yoga pants or pajama pants but if I'm going out- maternity jeans are the bomb!

Stretch marks: not yet!

Sleep: insomnia, as usual.

Best moment this week: getting belly pictures done & LeAnn coming over to play with Braxton. :)

Miss anything: sleeping normally, my energy! my sweet boy..

Movement: Yes, usually at night when I'm trying to sleep. 

Food cravings: this week it's definitely been biscuits and gravy! I swear I could eat it all day long!! ;)

Started showing: oh, of course!

Belly in/out: still in.
Mood: I've had a rough couple of days but trying to stay positive. I feel like my depression has "acted up" more this pregnancy and it's probably because of the 'terrible two's' and having a toddler and everything- it's very overwhelming!  

Looking forward to: more sleep? is that even possible? ha!
