23 Weeks

Today I am:

 23 Weeks Preggo!

And Baby Mason is growing and moving!  The app I've been using is referring to him as "doll size" now. :) And this is how is looking in there.

This was another milestone week for us!  Last week I felt Mason move for the first time and it was truly amazing.  This week (Sunday morning), however, at 2:30 in the morning, I woke Josh up from a dead sleep to feel the most amazing thing ever...his sweet baby boy moving and kicking!  Josh's face lit up and he said "I felt it!"  It was a priceless moment that I'll never forget!  And the rest of the week he continued to feel him move.  I can tell week by week those little kicks and movements are getting stronger and stronger!

Pregnancy Highlights:

How far along:  23 Weeks

Size of baby:  "Doll size"(8+ inches, nearly 1.5lbs)

Most dramatic development this week:  Baby is rapidly putting on fat and by this month's end, baby will double the size he is now.

Total weight gain:  7-8lbs

Gender:  It's a BOY!!

Movement:  Oh YES!!  And I love it!

Sleep:  Good!

Cravings:  Nothing too special.  Just different things on different days.  Still loving country veggies a few times a week.

Sick or queasy:  Smells still getting to me.  Thrown up a few times after eating due to reflux I believe.

Symptoms:  Just heartburn and occasional low back pain.

Best moment of the week:  Josh feeling our precious son moving!!  Precious Moment!

Looking forward to:  Going to register this upcoming week and have a doctors appt.
