23 and 24 Weeks



I'm combining these weeks because life has got the best of us lately and we are behind in everything.  I've been keeping up on pictures but to sit down on the computer is a real challenge. 


Baby Size: Baby is the size of a mango at 23 weeks and at 24 weeks about the size of a papaya.
Total weight gain: Sitting around 12-13 pounds gained.
Maternity clothes? Yes, and all the baggiest shirts in the closet.
Stretch marks? Nothing new.
Sleep: Not horrible, not great. 
Best moment this week: At 23 weeks there was nothing to write home about. In week 24 I got to hear that little beating heart and that always puts a smile on your face.
Miss Anything? Beers, it's Cheyenne Frontier Days this week...
Movement:  Yes, a little dancin' machine in this belly.
Food cravings:  Nothing really, except I did think I big bowl of fettuccine Alfredo sounded pretty good today.
Anything making you queasy or sick:  No not really
Gender:  Still think mostly girl, but I always still have my boy moments.
Labor Signs: No, some good braxton hicks here and there though.
Symptoms: Heartburn has struck bad.  Twice now I've had it worse than I ever remember with either Beau or Blake.
Belly Button in or out? In but getting flat.
Wedding rings on or off? On, but super tight if I'm hot or don't drink enough.
Looking forward to:  Some more camping fun and hopefully a little bit of a slow down.
