23 Week Update


How many weeks?  I'm 23 weeks!  This is the longest I have ever been pregnant.  I'm so happy to have made it to 23 weeks.

How am I feeling?  I''m still feeling good, but I'm definitely feeling bigger.  I'm back to sleeping well.  I haven't been waking up in the middle of the night unless Rachel or Haley wake me up.  I'm enjoying feeling Kayla move more and more.  She is definitely an active one.  I'm starting to feel more confident and peace of mind that things will continue to go well for this pregnancy and that I will make it to full term (or at least close to full term).  I'm so glad as well to be up and about and not be on bed rest.  I hope that lasts. 

Weight gain?  I don't know exactly how much I have gained since last week.  We were out of town this Labor day weekend and I didn't weigh myself.  Seeing how much I ate this past weekend I know I have gained some weight.  I'll update my weight gain next week. 

Doctors appointment?  Not this week.  My appointment with my OB last week was good.  I got another peek at Kayla on the ultrasound.  All continues to look good.  My OB is awesome and I feel at ease with him.

Cravings?  I still haven't had any strange cravings.  I'm just hungry most of the time and eat what I am in the mood for.     

Baby preparation?  Even though we have a lot of clothes that Rachel and Haley wore, I did get a couple of new things for Kayla.  Its so much fun to look at newborn little girls clothes again.
