23 weeks

How far along? 23 weeks
Total weight gain: I think officially I'm at about 6 pounds total gained.
Maternity clothes?   All hail the yoga pant and it's equally divine sidekick, the maternity legging!  Swoon!  I'm still attempting to wear a few of my non-maternity tops but am quickly realizing that I'll be out of that phase soon.
Stretch marks?  None yet
Sleep:  Some nights I can make it through the night, others I end up peeing a few times
Best moment this week: Reading stories with Baby Porch!
Miss anything?  I miss being able to move quickly and I miss my energy levels.
Food cravings: Nothing that I'm aware of ...
Anything making you queasy or sick? Nothing really... just Mondays ;)
Gender: Baby Girl :)
Labor signs: Not yet!  Keep marinating, love nugget!
Symptoms: The bump, heartburn, frequent urination...
Belly button in or out?  In... dangerously close to out.
Wedding rings on or off: On.  And loose.  And I'm kinda sad because at some point, I lost a diamond in my engagement ring & had to take it in.  I haven't been without my ring since I got it in 2009.  At least I still have my band, but still.
Happy or moody most of the time: Happy... baby loves to dance to that song too ;)
Looking forward to: I have the glucose test next Tuesday and am so intrigued by it.  I've heard so many stories and I am interested to find out if I pass!
Baby is the size of:  pomegranate.


Is it just me or does this bump seem smaller?  I don't feel it's well-represented here.
I feel much bigger.

Momma K

It's true.  I love my mom.  She's my best source of advice & wisdom, even though it took me roughly 20 years to figure that out.  I just wanted to take a quick second and thank her for all that she's done for me and especially for the things she didn't do for me.  =)  I wouldn't be the person I am today without her. Love you mom! We're pretty fabulous, no?

Baptizing Le Nugget

There they are... got my first big hit of hormonal pregnancy tears this morning as I thought about baptizing our daughter & where we'd like to baptize her.  It just kind of hit me all at once with more clarity than I could have ever expected. Let me back up a hot second; we attended a Lutheran Easter service this Sunday while visiting family and I was so totally turned off by this pastor's sermon and approach that it made me really reflect on what my beliefs are and when I feel most connected to a sense of faith.  Porch and I spoke in great detail about our hopes for our daughter and none of them included the messages being delivered at that Easter service -- the implicit messages, obviously.  There's not a terrible amount of difference between the Lutheran service and the Catholic service, but there was just a vibe that turned us both off. As I drove to work this morning, it came over me as I was thinking about where we could baptize our daughter.  We don't ...

It doesn't matter how slow you go...

I saw this online the other day and at first, thought how appropriate it is for what Porch & I have been attempting lately (lots of running) but after some deeper thought and revisiting, I've come to think of this as being more fitting for our story on the road to making a tiny human. I think it's appropriate, meaningful, and inspirational all at once.  A great reminder that no matter how slow we move, how many baby steps (no pun intended) we take, as long as we keep moving forward, it's better than giving up in frustration.  I once had a colleague tell me that it was only important that we "keep moving forward, no matter what."  That mantra has stuck with me for years and I've come to apply it personally and professionally.  It's okay that this is taking time.  It's our story and it will never be the same as anyone else's story. Likewise, I am not a runner.  I honestly don't even know why I started running, but damn it.  It feels so ...
