Bump-date 22-24 weeks

 At 23 weeks

At 22 weeks

How far along? 24 weeks and 1 day

Size? According to my what to expect baby app, baby is the size of an egglant (about 9in, 1.7lbs)

Weight gain/loss? I weighed myself at home and I my scale says that I am 153 pounds, but my scale has consistently been about 5 pounds off. So it looks like I have went down in size from my last doctor's appointment in which I was 153 then.

Maternity Clothes? I bought a couple of non maternity dresses and skirts just in a size bigger or of strecthy material to wear out to dinner or a night on the town with friends. Pretty much all my pre-pregnancy clothing doesn't fit anymore (either too tight or the shirts too short for my baby bump)
 

Stretch Marks? None. I wore some tights with a dress the other night to go out with the hubby and his brother, and I had a bit of scare, the tights left a red mark on my belly. Luckily, it went a way. I quickly mosturized my belly. Im okay if I get stretch marks, but I want to do as much as I can to prevent them if possible. I really hope to get back in a bikini at some point. :-)
 

Wedding Rings on or off? On

Sleep? Sleeping great. Luckily, no pregnancy insomnia and I have not needed one of those huge pregnancy body pillows. Hope this continues for as long as possible.

Best Moment of the Week(s)? 
1. Any movements that I feel from baby make me happy. It lets me know that he is okay in there, especially between ultrasounds and doctor's appointments. Baby has been really good to me lately. Seems to be a pretty chill baby...eh, that from Dad since I am typically a Type A type of person.
2. Oh, the nursery paint is done!!! Hubby did an excellent job. The edging (which is the hardest part to me) is spectacular and looks professional. I think he could do this professionally or at least for some of our neighbors.
3. I got some items that I ordered online for the room delivered. One is a rug and another is baskets that I plan to use for toys. Can't wait to get the room setup and see how it transforms.


Miss anything? Not much these few weeks. Missing wine is diminishing. I found a non-alcoholic lime margarita at Cost Plus World Market that is SOOOOOOO goood. It tastes just like a limearita and is really refreshing. So, its a good treat every now and then with dinner.
 

Food Cravings/Aversions? Have been craving more sweets lately and still love spicy food and mexican dishes.

Gender? It's a BOY!!!!!! See future post on the gender reveal party.

Happy or moody most? Happy, but watch out. I can go pregnant woman crazy at any given second if I feel that it is necessary. Some people have already witnessed the pregnant woman's wrath lol.

Labor signs? None.

Belly button in or out? In but still shallow.

Looking forward to? Since hubby has painted the nursery (see transformation in a future post), I am looking forward to getting the crib, picking up my rocking chair/glider and getting the dresser. Basically, can't wait until the larger items are setup. Decor items like curtains, lamps will fall in to place later.
