23 Weeks Pregnant!

How far along: 23 weeks!
Total weight gain: gained 11 lbs total
Maternity clothes: Still just the work pants, although I did just buy a bunch of cheap maternity clothes from Old Navy! Jeans require the hair-tie trick. I love that trick:)
Stretch marks: Just the ones from Christmas Eve on my chest, but still using the amazing tummy stretch mark oil {here} and the chest cream {here}
Sleep: Great, just getting up once a night to go pee. These past two weeks especially I feel exhausted around 4pm, but thankfully get somewhat of a second wind later.
Best moment of this week: Staying a night at Camelback Inn this past weekend. We got time to relax and talk by a firepit for four hours. FOUR hours of uniterrupted quality time..pure bliss.
Miss anything: wine and beer…and being able to run miles at my normal pace. Im thankful i’m still able to run easy, but the slowed down pace is lame.
Movement: Loving how much more often they are happening! I don’t think i’ll ever get sick of them, that is until they possibly get painful;)
Food cravings: The natural golden grahams ceral craving has taken over. 
Anything making you queasy or sick: nope!
Have you started to show yet: Um yes. I feel like in these past two weeks I have literally doubled in size. And my weight also reflects it..4lbs in 2 weeks! Woah.
Gender: Boy!!
Labor signs: none, it will be crazy when I say yes to this.
Belly button in or out: That bad boy is starting to creep out..
Wedding rings on or off: On, on the days that I actually wear them
Happy or moody most of the time: Super happy, especially when I realize that in less than 4 months I get to meet this little stud muffin.
Looking forward to: Just these next few months in general. My brother getting married, J graduating from his MBA program, and meeting our baby boy.

    Your brother is getting married? Have they sent out the invitations yet?? I do calligraphy, I addressed 150 envelopes last week and have another 152 to write out for another couple this week! Yes, I am the esthetician in Az, but goodness knows, I am sure that YOU know we have to find ways to supplement that incomes at tiems . .. and I LOVE to write to calligraphy anyway. If your brother and his future bride are interested in calligraphy for their wedding I can give you the number of the wedding planner I work with. Don’t worry, she would just get you in contact with me, Kathy wouldn’t try to take over the whole show (If I tell her not to do that anyway):)

    You look SUPER in shape STILL! You will pop right back to your normal size after the baby is born, I am sure. I did, after my 1st baby TWENTY ONE YEARS AGO! :O

    Louise- you are so sweet. I know excatly what you mean by doing random things to supplement. My mom however is amazing at caligraphy and did mine and my sisters invites, so she will be doing my brothers as well. Thanks so much for the offer though.I dont know about how in shape I look, but I feel great so thats all that matters.
