how far along? 23 weeks
Madelyn’s size: somewhere between 10.5-11.8 inches, 12.7-20.8 ounces!… about the size of a grapefruit
weight gain: 0 pounds this week, 14 pounds total
maternity clothes: Yes
stretch marks: The thing that I thought was a stretch mark last week, is barely visible now. Stretch mark or not, it basically non-existent at this point
sleep: Sleeping a little better
best moment this week: We had dinner with our new friends, Nichole and Joe, Saturday night, and they gave us the sweetest, little sundress for Madelyn to wear next summer. It is absolutely precious and I love it!
food cravings: Nothing in particular
symptoms: Fatigue is still better, but not as good as last week. My emotions are about the same... I feel fine most of the time, but still have my moments where I'll cry over just about anything
gender: Precious, baby girl!
belly button in or out: In, but still fairly sure it is less deep and starting to make it's way out
movement: Yes
what I miss: Nothing at the moment
what I'm looking forward to: All of the things I was looking forward to last week...Receiving Madelyn's gifts from her Nanna and Nana, seeing Madelyn again on the ultrasound and hearing her heartbeat, going to the beach, Marissa Grace's birthday, and Sissy's wedding shower! Whew, we certainly have a busy and exciting few days ahead of us!

seriously, you are just such a beautiful pregnant woman! that sundress is absolutely adorable. little girl stuff is the best, isn't it?! have a great week!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Erikka! It's amazing what a negative effect pregnancy has had on my self-esteem and body image (I mean, I know it's worth it, but still), so I definitely appreciate the compliment! :) And yes, little girl stuff is the best! I literally become giddy looking at dresses and such for Madelyn! I told David I could easily go bankrupt just buying her dresses! :)
ReplyDeleteAlso, I am so glad you are doing so much better! I read your last post, but never commented. So thankful you are doing so well!
