This week, Curtis turned 23 weeks old. I can't believe how quickly these months are flying by! I really can't believe I hit my 3rd trimester next week. The last few weeks have been really great pregnancy wise :) I am finally starting to feel better most days, haven't thrown up in just over 2 weeks and can function normally most days, which is awesome! I've also really started feeling Curtis move, which is a feeling I have no words for. I love every time I feel a little kick, or flip. I love looking down at my stomach and seeing it move with him inside. And this week, Isaac has finally started to feel him some. Yesterday, we put a flashlight to my belly to see if he'd react to the light, and he did, he kicked right where the light was. It's so cool how aware he already is of his surroundings, responding to music, to light, to food, I love it!
How far along: 23 weeks
Total weight gain/loss: 10lbs total
Maternity clothes: I'm mostly in maternity clothes now except for tank tops. I tried on a few tops the other day and they no longer stretch across my growing belly.
Stretch marks: None so far.
Best moment this week: Seeing my stomach move and seeing Isaac's face when he first felt Curtis kick.
Miss anything: Bending over easily. I never realized how often I need to bend down to do stuff, at work, and at home. It's growing increasingly difficult
Movement: I definitely feel him kick all the time and love it!
Food cravings: I haven't really craved anything lately.
Anything making you queasy or sick: Still dog food, that's the only thing that's made me sick lately.
Have you started to show yet: Yes, I definitely have a bump.
Gender: IT'S A BOY!!!
Labor Signs: None
Symptoms: Still some nausea, but no vomitting, headaches, heartburn and exhaustion all the time.
Belly button in or out: in for now
Wedding rings on or off: On
Happy or Moody most of the time: Today I'm very happy :)
Looking forward to: Maternity pictures this weekend :)
