23 Weeks

How far along? 23 Weeks
Total weight gain: 20+lbs!
Best moment of the week: Realizing that I really am feeling baby girl move! I really thought I would be feeling little feet or hands, so when I sat really still and would feel the little twitches and realized that was her, it was a great feeling! 
Maternity clothes? Still rocking the regular dresses! Wonder how long I'll be able to get away with this... 
Sleep: Great! There was one night last week that I woke up around 2am and barely fell back to sleep before the alarm went off at 5am, but surprisingly I wasn't dying the next day. Sometimes I wake up and just think about how different things will be in four/five months...!
Miss anything? Being tan!
Food cravings: Still nothing in particular. Although I did wake up and tell Hubby we were going to Alamo Cafe for lunch...I workout hard every week and was totally wanting to cash in on that. :)
Anything making you queasy or sick? Some meat. There have been lots of dinners with cereal involved because sometimes in the evenings, meat is the last thing I want to eat?!
Symptoms:  Nothing new or surprising...although I am kind of bummed I never got the "long, shiny hair" side-effect from the prenatals. My hair has pretty much STOPPED growing at the length it is now and I was hoping for a bit more!
Belly button in or out? It's flat now...but not for long! It is totally on it's way to pop-out-ville.
Movement:  Yes! Tiny twitches/flutters, especially when I lay completely still :)
Happy or Moody most of the time? So, so happy.
Looking forward to: What am I NOT looking forward to?! This is such an exciting time and the fact that I'm feeling so good right now when the holidays are getting underway makes me excited every single day. I am though excited to begin planning a baby shower with my mom, sisters and some friends...can't wait to celebrate baby girl!
