Baby Bump: Week 23




How far along? 23 weeks

What's baby up to? Baby Morgan weighs a little over a pound and is about 11 inches long. Blood vessels in her lungs are developing to help her breathe.  She is very active and is now moving all around.  We can even see her kicking around in there when she gets really riled up!  

Total weight gain: 6 pounds total according to my scale.  I'll know for sure at my doctor's appointment in 2 weeks.  My goal is to stay around 7-8 pounds total gain by that appointment.

Maternity clothes? Pants, yes.  Shirts, not necessarily. 

Symptoms: RLS and that's it!

Sleep: Gotten better since the introduction of a huge body pillow that steals the covers from Jacob and steals bed space from our kitty girl, Halle.

Food cravings: Not really!

Food aversions: None

Movement?  For sure.  She's moving all around and you can even see her moving around in there.


Miss anything? Nope!

Best moment of the week: Keeping our house clean.  Does that count?  What am I talking about....yes that counts.  It is nothing short of a miracle, really!

Looking forward to: A long weekend vacation with Jacob!  Our Christmas present to each other this year was a long weekend vacay to Hilton Head over MLK weekend. So we'll head off on Saturday morning (1/17) to one of our favorite spots and spend some time relaxing as just the two of us.  We're staying at the Omni Hotel & Resort in a newly renovated King bedroom!!  Oh yeah, and we're pretty excited that we're going to buy the nursery furniture this coming up weekend. We've decided on a set from Buy Buy Baby that includes a convertible crib, 5 drawer chest, double dresser, and hutch/bookcase.  It's a little VERY pricey, but hopefully it will be worth it because it can grow with our little lady.

  3. I'm so happy for y'all. The best part of my pregnancy was seeing and feeling them move! It's been over 11 years. 😞
