How far along: 23 Weeks
How big is baby: The size of an ear of corn (8.5 in, 1.5 lbs.) This makes me laugh seeing as yesterday was Memorial Day and we had a cookout including corn on the cob!
Total weight gain: Last dr appointment it was about 8 lbs. and the dr. seemed satisfied with that so far.
Maternity clothes: Nothing new but I did discover this morning the only way I am still able to wear my black dress pants anymore is to wear a maternity top with them. I used to be able to wear them with a rubber band and zipped up most of the way so I could wear whatever top I wanted. However, the zipper only goes up a tiny bit now.
Stretch marks: None yet. My skin is feeling tighter and itchy but I haven't seen any official stretch marks yet.
Sleep: No real changes. I have noticed an increase in stuffy nose-ness. They say this is all due to hormones and other pregnancy things. It seems if I elevate my head ever so slightly I am able to clear my nose and sleep better.
Movement: Earlier tonight I was laying in bed and Zoey must have been doing all kinds of summersaults and flips and flops in there because it sure looked like I had an alien trying to escape from my belly button!
Food cravings: Nothing consistent.
What I miss: Sleeping on my stomach (still) and being able to stay up till 2 am then get up at 6 for school and be perfectly fine to function all day. Hubby and I stayed up watching movies last night (well, one really, Juno, which got him SO excited about being a daddy!!) and didn't get to bed till 2:30 or 3 then we had to get up at 6 for work and school. Needless to say, when I got home I was more than ready to go to bed around 7 or 8 tonight.
What I am looking forward to: Getting Zoey's room painted so we can start setting up her crib and sheets and everything. I also think we have nailed down a shower date so I'm starting to look forward to getting an invite list together for that.
Milestones: Zoey is developing her sense of touch more and more each day.
Oh, and THIS: I discovered in the shower today that if I stand up straight (I tend to hunch my shoulders out of a terrible habit from middle school) I am unable to see my toes anymore! Of course, I'm still small enough so that I can bend over a little and see them perfectly but the thought that Zoey is covering them that much is so exciting to me!
