23 weeks

How far along: 23 weeks

How big is baby: The size of a large mango. Not just any mango. A LARGE mango.  

Total weight gain: I'm gonna guess 13 pounds? It was 12 last week, so 13 makes enough sense :)
Maternity clothes: No clothes from te maternity section, but I got a maternity belt/band.  It's marvelous.  And I just bought some new dance pants so I have stuff to chase littles in that are comfy!
Stretch marks: Not yet
Sleep: I got a massage from Ryan last night, which made my back feel sooo much better. I slept through the whole night :) 
Best moment of the week: Oh, easy...we scheduled an ultrasound at Tate Diagnostic, where they measured everything and checked to make sure he has all his organs.  We also got a couple 3D sneaks, and the 4D HD imaging! I thought the 3D thing was cool at Womb's Window, but this HD view was way cool.  Ryan and Malachi got to go too, so it was extra special.  
Food aversions: Nope
Food cravings: Nothing special
Symptoms: Back and ribs, always. 
Movement: Oh yea, constantly! I love it because I know it means it's still in there and doing well.  But I wish I could train him NOT to jump on my bladder.  Um, can he see through my belly button? Because he jumped on my bladder.  What a defiant little boy.
Belly Button in or out: In, but getting flatter! Yikes lol.
What I’m looking forward to: Getting started on both of the boy's rooms! Malachi's new room is almost cleared out...just gotta get rid of some furniture pieces :)
Wedding rings on or off: On
Happy or moody: Happy <3  Except for when my husband laughs at me as I try to fit into some pants.  At least our cute son showed him up by saying "Mommy you look so nice!" :p
What I miss: Not grunting every time I move lol.

{Skip 20}, 21 and 22 weeks

I've slacked a bit and I'm almost sorry.  My mom calls it second child syndrome.  I call it pregnancy syndrome.  ;)  When I was pregnant with Malachi, I slacked during weeks 23-24 because of recital, so maybe I'm just ahead of the game this time! :p 

How far along: 22 weeks

How big is baby: 1 pound, according to today's appointment!!

Total weight gain: 12 pounds...and the baby is only 1 pound? Not cool, body... not cool...
Maternity clothes: No, but I will be purchasing a belly band or maternity belt thingy TOMORROW. Because, ow.
Stretch marks: Not yet
Sleep: Is what I should be doing right now.
Best moment of the week: Today's ultrasound! I love seeing my boy
Food aversions: Nope. Feed the pregnant lady.
Food cravings: Fruit Loops!! Ryan got a box a few days ago.  It was gone very quickly, but in my defense, I had help from Ryan and Malachi. 
Symptoms: Major discomfort already in my ribs...that seems weird to me since he's still so tiny and I've still got like 6 more pounds of a baby to fit in my body.
Movement: So much! No hiccups yet, thank goodness.  
Belly Button in or out: In
What I’m looking forward to: Picking a name already...Ryan and I have narrowed it down to two names. He likes one better than the other, and I like the other better than the one.  That sentence was weird.
Wedding rings on or off: On
Happy or moody: Happy <3  
What I miss: Sleeping comfortably. Sitting comfortably.  Walking comfortably.  Anything comfortably.
