Baby Girl - 23 weeks

Hi Lovelies!! 

Here is my update for this week!! 

Today is: April 25, 2015

How far along: 23 weeks

Total weight gain: 15 pounds

Baby is the size of: A grapefruit. About 10.5 to 11 inches in length and just over a pound.

What's going on with the babe: Blood vessels in his lungs are developing to prepare for breathing. Loud noises that she hears are now becoming more familiar, and she should be able to hear all 3 of our voices! Her face is fully formed now - just needs some more fat. :)

What's going on with Mama:  Swelling is likely around this time, which I am experiencing, and heartburn has gotten worse.

Baby is:  A Girl!!!

Maternity clothing: Bottoms, absolutely. Tops, still wearing non-maternity which means that i am wearing men's t-shirts size 3X to 4X.

Sleep: Tossing and turning with potty breaks in the middle of the night. Also, I am snoring and loudly too.

Movement: Lots of it and I love it!!

Cravings/Aversions:  Nothing too specific this week.

Symptoms:

- heartburn

- out of breath quicker

-Acne

How has this pregnancy been different than the first:
- I was tossing and turning a little bit with Angelina. Also, I was getting tired pretty early with her. With this one, I'm staying up pretty late.

How big sister was this week: She is so excited to be a big sister!! We are also having a rough bedtime routine lately. Hopefully that will change soon.

The best moment(s) of this past week: Time with my family.

I'm looking forward to:  Planning our baby shower!!
