23 Weeks

Sorry no picture this week!

On my normal picture day, I was busy running around cleaning and baking for the holidays : ) 

If you are interested, here's a casual picture from the 23rd week.

How far along: 23 weeks

Baby Size:  Grapefruit
Baby Developments: 10.5-11.8 inches and 12.7-20.8 ounces, face is fully formed, can hear the following: my voice, my heartbeat and Lexi barking 

Weight gain: No weighing during the holidays

Maternity clothes: I hit the mall Tuesday for some holiday shirts and ended up buying a pair of yoga pants, exercise tees, modern skinny jeans, and casual tops! Merry Christmas to ME : )

Stretch marks: Yes, teeny tiny ones have been spotted on the back of my left calf! I have noticed light blue marks on the side on my belly. I'm wondering if it's veins or the start of stretch marks?

Sleep: My sleep has been terrible this week :( I have developed terrible acid reflux at nighttime! I talked to my OB and she told me to take Pepcid Complete 30 minutes before bedtime. It works wonders! Ever since I started taking Pepcid I'm back to my normal sleeping. 

Best moment this week: Getting Aiden's crib put together and putting the crib skirt on...thanks to my Baby Daddy :)

Miss Anything: I'm not missing a single thing! I'm loving being pregnant around the holidays!

Movement: Strong kicks 2-3 times a day and feel movement from the inside all day long!
Food cravings: This week all I'm craving is homemade Chex Mix and Sonic's Strawberry Limeade! 

Anything making you queasy or sick: Fish, Steak, Garlic flavored crackers

Labor Signs: Nothing and praying it stays that way for awhile!

Exercise: Walking 1 hr with the family

Symptoms: Kicks, acid reflux 
Belly Button in or out: In but it's spreading out, itching like crazy and a little bit discolored!
