It's that time of the week again, so here are our updates! The baby can be compared to the size of a papaya this week and her little face is fully formed, minus all of that baby fat that she needs to put on in these last 17 weeks. I can't stop wondering what that little face is going to look like...D and I both can't wait to meet Miss M, who is now being referred to by first name around these parts! :)
How far along?: 23 weeks
Total weight gain/loss: +16.5, which means up a pound this week. I'm kind of thinking this is my bodies response to chips and queso, other Mexican goodies, and the pizza we had Saturday night. Oops...no biggie.
Maternity clothes?: Yes and no. Gym clothes are all not, bottoms all are, and dresses and tops are a mix.
Sleep: Lots of tossing a turning. Waking up about 4-5 times a night. Not super.
Best moment this week: Finding out Baby M is measuring a week ahead! I just knew she'd be a big, healthy girl.
Movement: Lots, especially early in the morning (4:30-5ish) when I'm pretty sure she's trying to kick me awake to eat. She kicks randomly throughout the day and again around 7-8 when I'm relaxing after dinner. :)
Food Cravings: Still cranberry juice, Greek Yogurt- honey flavored, and 60 calorie jello pudding packs for dessert. D craves the pudding treats too now.
Gender: Baby GIRL!
Belly Button: A funny looking innie...kind of shallow these days.
Stretchmarks?: No newbies.
What I miss: Sleeping through the night. I'm a little tired today...ughhh.
What I am looking forward to: Getting the heck out of this office tomorrow afternoon and my appointment on Friday, of course. :)
Weekly Wisdom: Naps are your friend and there is nothing wrong with going to bed at 9pm.
Milestones: Well the next big one we have coming up is our V-Day next week. Viability (which is considered to be at 24 weeks) means that Baby M would have a chance of surviving outside of the womb, with medical help of course, if she were to deliver early. I'm pretty sure she's as big as most 24 weekers right now, but we will encourage her to stay put for another 16 weeks or so. :)
Here are the weekly pics! D thinks the belly has grown in the past few days. What do you think?
