Week 23 Update

Total weight gain:

Not sure, I will know more next week at my 6 month check up.

Body changes:

Bigger belly. Dry skin. Pregnancy mask.

Sleep: 

Better, but awake early mornings. I can only sleep so long until my lower back starts hurting.

Best moment this week: 

Spending precious time with Maia. Seeing Maia in her first Halloween costume J

Gender: 

Boy!

Food Cravings / Aversions:

Cereal. I caved. I waited this long but this week I bought a box of rice crispy (chocolate) and I’m so enjoying it! Funny enough, another prego girl was picking out bad cereals when I was at the store, and even though I wanted cocoa puffs or reeses captain crunch, I pulled it together and chose the somewhat healthier option haha.

What I miss:

Not being out of breath walking a flight of stairs. Seeing my vagina in the shower (sorry, just had to say that), ….the usual…sushi, baths, champagne, over medium eggs without feeling guilty when I do have them.

Symptoms:

Lethargic especially at day’s end. Lower back pain at times.

Movement: 

Yes, quite a bit.

What I am looking forward to:

My next massage ;)

Milestones: 

Getting my garden back in shape, and finishing…I mean starting…nursery.

Thought of the week: 

I can’t wait to meet my baby boy!
