23 week


How far along? 23 weeks 
Total weight gain: 12 lbs.  (Pre-pregnancy weight 136lbs, lost 3 lbs in the beginning.)
Maternity clothes? Maternity clothes all the way! Baby boy really doesn't like where my maternity jeans hit on my belly, so I am mostly in sweats unless I’m going out of the house.
Stretch marks? Nope
Sleep: What is sleep these days? I have been sleeping on the couch the past few nights because it’s the only place that is remotely comfortable. I am still waking up every 2-3 hours. I've just decided that this is only going to get worse.
Best moment this week: Getting to see my sweet babes at my Dr appt
Worst moment this week:  I found out that Baby girl to putting so much pressure on my right side of my ribs that it’s popping the back part of my ribs out of place. Luckily a tennis ball usually gives me a little bit of relief.
Miss Anything?  My Dr said I need to quit any unnecessary activity from here on out.  Good thing I am too exhausted to do much of anything these days anyway. I am just grateful that everything had been going so well with these two munchkins so far.
Movement: They are definitely getting stronger. I am able to feel some harder kicks these days.
Food cravings: Still don’t have much of an appetite. If I find something that actually tastes good, I gobble it down.
Anything making you queasy or sick: I still have a hard time eating anything I’ve cooked. Other than that, I don’t have much else that bothers me.
Gender: Boy and Girl! Little boy is down low and my little girl is stuck up in my ribs.
Labor Signs: Nope.
Symptoms:  I have started getting a little bit of heart burn. Luckily tums does the trick for now. I am also noticing that I am starting to have a harder time breathing comfortably if I am lying flat.
Belly Button in or out? In for now
Wedding rings on or off? On
Happy or Moody most of the time: I am happy the majority of the time. Since I’m having a harder time sleeping, I feel a lot more emotional now.
 Looking forward to: Christmas! I can’t wait to have my family come for a few weeks.
