Weekly Updates:
How far along: 23 weeks
Baby’s size: Mango – Your baby weighs about as much as a large mango — just over a pound. (Length: more than 11 inches) – Granted our baby is weighing in on the slightly bigger and longer as per our u/s last week.
Sleep: It’s been consistent this week which is nice.
Maternity Clothes: Yep. Loving the stretchy pants!
Food Cravings: I have been smelling cake batter everywhere I go. I don’t want the cake, just the batter. I’m working on trying to avoid eating a bunch of sweets though.
Food Aversions: Still no spicy. 🙁
Symptoms I have: My acne has finally started to go away and the heartburn is only occasional.
Doctor’s Appointment: OB on 2/12
Movement: I am starting to feel Sprout a lot more than before. There are kicks and jabs. Baby particularly likes my back.
Belly Button: Innie. But it is definitely starting to move to a more level position.
Gender: Team Yellow!
What I’m looking forward to: Next Tuesday when we reach the Viability milestone. Then after that, our next milestone is 30 weeks. *sigh* takes too damn long.
What I miss: Nada!
* Funny side story – Darrell was talking to people after our ultrasound last week and was telling them it was our 28 week ultrasound when it was our 22 week ultrasound. I felt so bad having to tell him that he was 6 weeks ahead and thus still had 18 weeks to go instead of the 12 he was thinking about. Poor D!
