Weeks 23 and 24

Somehow, I got behind last week. We didn't get a picture of week 23, so this post is for both weeks 23 and 24.

Pregnancy Highlights:

How Far Along: 23 weeks

Size of Baby: more than 11” and over 1 lb. Around the size of a mango.

Total Weight Gain/Loss: Still claiming ½ lb. since I don’t trust my scales at home.

Maternity Clothes: I’ve started wearing maternity jeans when I go out. Otherwise, I wear regular clothes.

Gender: We have a 4D ultrasound scheduled for March 29. Hopefully, we’ll find out then!

Movement: The movement is starting to get more frequent and a little stronger. I felt the baby move from the outside for the first time Sunday night. I can’t wait for Chris to be able to feel it.

Food Cravings: Nothing really.

What I Miss: I don’t miss anything.

Sleep: I’m still sleeping great.

Symptoms: Just heartburn.

Best Moment This Week: We spent the weekend at home and working with FFA kids parking cars at a basketball tournament at the school. The kids are so funny. I love hanging out with them and, of course, Chris.

What I Am Looking Forward To: I’m still very much looking forward to our next ultrasound. Also, I think either one or both of our families are coming to visit us this weekend. It will be nice to see them without having to travel.

Pregnancy Highlights:

How Far Along: 24 weeks

Size of Baby: About 12” and over 1 lb. Around the size of an ear of corn.

Total Weight Gain/Loss: Still claiming ½ lb. since I don’t trust my scales at home.

Maternity Clothes: I’m wearing mostly maternity jeans or other forgiving pants. I’m still wearing regular tops.

Gender: We have a 4D ultrasound scheduled for March 29. Hopefully, we’ll find out then!

Movement: I love feeling our little baby move. I really want Chris to feel it, but he hasn’t gotten to yet.

Food Cravings: Nothing really.

What I Miss: I don’t miss anything.

Sleep: I’m still sleeping great.

Symptoms: Just heartburn.

Best Moment This Week: My mom came down Friday night and spent the night. We had a good time. Then, Keith came on Saturday, and Chris’ parents came on Sunday. It was a full weekend with lots of family time.

What I Am Looking Forward To: I’m looking forward to the ultrasound, time with Chris, and our upcoming Spring Break.
