Another week down. 17 weeks till we meet our baby girl!
How far along: 23w4d
Maternity clothes: I'm quickly becoming bored with what I have. It's too hot to wear something more than a tank top, and I only have about 5 of those, 3 of which are the exact same thing in different colors (black, gray and black/white striped). Boring. I'm ready for fall so I can get back into some cute things!
Sleep: Hasn't been too bad this past week, I'm hoping that continues for the next, oh, 17 weeks! Ha!
Worst moment of this week: Realizing I'm already HUGE, and feeling like a cow already. I am definitely carrying Little Miss differently than I did the boys. They were more out front, she is more across my mid section, which makes me look very wide and huge. Luckily I only notice it when I catch my reflection in a window or the mirror. When I look down at her she's just a bump out front, and I can't help but give her a rub and a pat. :)

Movement: When she does move, she's active! Andy says she kicks like a kangaroo.
Food cravings: Still those chocolate donuts. I wish I craved something healthy.
Anything making you queasy or sick: Not this week.

Gender: GIRL!!!
Labor signs: None
Wedding rings on or off: Off
Happy or moody most of the time: Moody. I was over tired from the fair, so that didn't help.
Looking forward to: Getting the boy's rooms done so I can start decorating the Princess's room. I ordered her butterfly mobile this past weekend because Pottery Barn Kids was having a 1 day sale, so I'm pretty darn excited for that beauty to arrive!
Symptoms/Side Effects: The heat really gets to me quicker than usual being 23 weeks pregnant. I feel pretty useless outside these days. Would love for some milder temps so I can get in my flower beds and garden, and to go for walks in the evening with Andy.
Something I have done in every pregnancy is eat ice. It's rare for me to leave ice in the bottom of my cup at a restaurant. I can't help but chew it! At supper Saturday night I noticed I was chewing on the ice in my cup. Isn't that funny that I've done it for every pregnancy?

Did you know chewing on ice can be a sign of low iron? I did it with my pregnancies too and still want to do it but my dentist tells me not to :(
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like your pregnancy is going GREAT!
I've heard that too about ice meaning low iron. Ice was the only thing I craved with Ryan... we'd go out to eat and I'd get a tall glass of just ice and eat it within minutes! Anyways, hope you're catching up on some rest now that the fair is done!
ReplyDeleteI was getting ready to say the same as the others. Chewing ice is sign of low iron. I have really low iron and I chew on ice all day long. I don't get the connection but it's true!
ReplyDeleteYou DO NOT look like a cow. Seriously. Stop it. I do understand what you mean about carrying totally different (with Marcus I was so much wider, with M2 I'm carrying so much more out front).
ReplyDeleteI am literally down to about 3 shirts that actually still fit me. It's getting really frustrating to try and make those three shirts look new and different.
THE MOBILE!! YES!! I'm 99.9% sure I have the same one you just ordered, and it's hanging in M2's room. I know you'll love it. It's just the most light, whimsical thing. I can't wait to see what you do with Little Lady's nursery.
I get ya on the heat... Momma just wants to lounge in her pool (no splashing). You don't look like a cow, although I know how you are feeling there too. I have to say that with this one I am a lot smaller then I was with Oliver, you want to see cow I was huge everywhere.
