Pregnancy: Weeks 21-23
The weeks are flying by over here, and both my husband and I are in shock of how quickly my belly is growing lately!
How far along are you?
23 weeks and 3 days!
Gender:
GIRL!!
How big is the baby?
This week, our sweet baby is the size of a bunch of grapes!
Total weight gain:
I'm finally at my pre-pregnancy weight! I was 137 when we got pregnant, then went down to 130, now back up to 137! Finally eating again and enjoying my food!
How am I feeling?
I'm feeling pretty good! I have a lot more energy now and almost forget that I am pregnant except when my belly gets in the way!
Maternity clothes?
Yup!!! The pants are a lifesaver!
Favorite workouts:
I actually just started a brand new program, Country Heat! The doctor wants me to do walking and light exercise, and this is a line dancing program that is perfect for my pregnancy right now!
Stretch marks:
None and I hope it stays that way! I’ve been using bio oil and a “bump cream” I found on Amazon. Hopefully they continue to help!
Cravings:
No cravings lately just HUNGER! And then getting full too fast :( for a while my big craving was goldfish crackers but it isn't as strong now! I've been following my old meal plan (the 21 day fix container system, just increased in calories!) and I've been feeling so much healthier and craving healthier things!
Food aversions:
I still have aversions sometimes to red meat, but everything else is sounding good to me!
Sleep:
Terrible! I have no comments about this haha
What I miss:
Energy, working out, and more than 1 cup of coffee/day!
What I am looking forward to:
Our next ultrasound is Tuesday where the will measure her and make sure she is growing on track since we have a velementous cord insertion. We will be checking on her growth every 2 weeks which I'm actually looking forward to because we will get to see her and make sure she is on track with her growth! Grow baby grow!
We are so thankful to God for this sweet baby and praying she keeps growing big and strong and keeps kicking mommy!
