How far along? 23 weeks
Total weight gain/loss: As of yesterday, down 1 lb since BFP, though it's been fluctuating a lot lately.
Maternity clothes? Yup.
Stretch marks? Nope.
Sleep: Still sleeping OK, but the nap is becoming an almost-requisite. I can really feel it on the days I can't take a nap.
Best moment this week: A lot of baby stuff was delivered this week (gifts from my parents and brothers), and I thoroughly enjoyed putting everything together. It makes it seem real and gives me something concrete to do in preparation.
Movement: Thankfully, yes!
Food cravings: No real cravings. My appetite has been come-and-go this week.
Gender: Boy
Labor Signs: No, but I'm growing more and more scared of PTL for some reason.
Belly Button in or out? In
What I miss: This is always a hard question because I love being pregnant, and I wouldn't trade it for the world. However, I do miss being able to wear more than a few shirts (a problem that would be fixed somewhat if I could find maternity shirts I like).
What I am looking forward to: Viability! 1 more week...
Weekly Wisdom: Try not to freak out if baby doesn't seem to be moving as much as you remember. Last night was rough because something just didn't feel right, and I felt like he'd been especially still. In the end, I was begging him through my belly and second-guessing every movement because I was so sure something was wrong. Definitely the worst moment of the week.
Milestones: First "Is he moving enough?" freakout? First swollen ankles? I feel like this period is low on milestones...
You look amazing!
