23 Weeks :: Good feelings, a sweet tooth and freaky dreams

I am really feeling good this week. No urge for that afternoon nap when I get home from work, no uncomfortable feelings, just all around feeling really good. And feeling very aware that this will not last for much longer so I'm trying to soak up and enjoy it as much as possible.

My appetite is out of control. There's not much I can really say about that, I just eat. A lot. Often. Also, I've never had a sweet tooth IN MY LIFE but I have one now. And I can't help but indulge it because I don't know how to control it! haha. Oh, pregnancy.

I had a dream the other night that I had Harrison 17 weeks early, so like... now. And he still weighed 8 pounds. Dear god don't let me have a 12 pound baby.


How far along? 23 weeks!
Size of baby: Apparently still a papaya. They couldn't come up with a new fruit? But the little man is measuring about 11 inches and weighs over a pound.
Total weight gain/loss: +6. Gaining about a pound a week now.
Stretch marks? No ma'am.
Sleep: Pretty good.
Best moment this week: My mother in law visited over the weekend and she got to feel Harrison kick. She's going to be such a great grandmother. :)
Worst moment this week: I'd hate to jinx myself but this week was pretty good. Maybe just how cranky I can get at night? ha.
Movement: Lots! Especially right before bed.
Food cravings: Yellow curry! Om nom nom.
Sex: Baby boy!
Labor Signs: Negative.
Belly Button in or out? In.
What I miss: Sushi. Being able to breathe properly. Being able to shave my legs without a struggle.
What I am looking forward to: I'm just so excited to meet the little guy.
Weekly Wisdom: Staying positive is key. The experience is an adventure, I'm taking it one day at a time but enjoying every minute.
Milestones: A crazy appetite and lots of baby kicks. :)

And here's another four weeks of my belly progression.
