23 Weeks!




How far along? 23 Weeks and 5 days!
Total weight gain: 8 lbs
Maternity Clothes? yes, as the colder weather comes I am realising I am going to need a maternity sweater. 
Stretch Marks? Nope! My belly button is starting to look weird though! 
Sleep? great this week! I have been so busy, I get exhausted easily! 
Best moment this week: Watching my best friend get married! We also had another ultrasound this week so seeing the baby was great too!
Wedding rings on or off? On 
Miss anything? alcohol again! Who knew I would miss that so often. lol! At the wedding I had to keep running for cranberry juice to be able to do toasts and everyone was talking about how great the wine was and I couldn't even try it! booo. We are saving our favour bottles for January!
Movement? A lot more this week! On Saturday Nikki was able to feel little Stella move for the first time! It was a sweet touch that it happened to be her wedding day too! It felt like Stella was dancing the night away with us!
Food cravings? pop. It's so weird. I don't normally drink pop but I seem to want it all the time these days. 
Anything making you queasy or sick? Nothing this week thankfully!
Have you started to show yet? haha this question seems funny now.
Gender: Girl!
Symptoms: leakage this week. I had my 23 week OB apt this week and this lead me to getting a cervical thickness ultrasound to ensure everything was fine. There is a risk involved with my uterine septum causing my cervix to be thin. The results came back normal and Stella still has plenty of fluid around her. We are very thankful for this! 
Happy or moody most of the time? Happy this week! :)  
Labour Signs: No!
Belly Button in or out? out and always visible, especially in my bridesmaid dress last weekend! 
Looking forward to: Lets do a not looking forward to this week:
- diabetes testing
- Rhogam shot
- having to go these appointments all on my own since it will be Paul's first day of his pediatric rotation. boooo




There is 1 year and three months between these photos! There's also been two husbands and two babies added along the way!
