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.

The neighborhood gem

We have lived in our current place for about 2.5 years. Sunday marked the first time EVER that we walked to the neighborhood park and participated in open swim at the pool. I don't know why it took so long... maybe because we're not usually here on the weekends? Not sure. But Sunday was such a gorgeous day that we couldn't resist the urge to be outside but this preggo needed to be cool. I mentioned the pool and called to find out deets (hours, type of swim, fee, etc) and we slipped on our suits & were out the door in no time! We had been working all morning to assemble baby gear and catch up on laundry so we welcomed the break. We spent about an hour soaking up the sun and floating around in the water. We really aren't going anywhere (no more trips to the cabin or Green Bay for me) between now and the baby's arrival so I suspect that if the weather is nice, we'll be more likely to consider the pool.  Hey, it's clean, free, and close to home. Can...

when even the doctor feels badly for you

went for the repeat ultrasound yesterday with my heart filled with positive thoughts and feelings just to find out that my uterine lining is WAY too thick to move forward. in fact, dr. b was worried because my uterus and ovaries seem to be having different conversations about where they are in my cycle. blood was drawn and results revealed that i hadn't ovulated and so, my dear friends, i am back on birth control for an undetermined length of time. the short version of this paragraph:  i didn't bleed enough this month so i have to do it again. you know it's rough when even the doctor has that sad look in her eyes and wraps up the appointment with, "I feel so bad for you, it's just one thing after another." that's why i like her, to be honest. let's not sugar coat this process and let's skip the whole "we'll get 'em next time, tiger" pep talk. it sucks. and we're allowed to feel that, my fellow infertility peeps. it's o...

Maternity Pictures

I let out the biggest squeal of joy when I went to get the mail today and found this package waiting for me! Seriously, I've been stalking Bobbi's life and seeing everyone's amazing teasers was making me so much more excited to get our pictures!  I'm so happy to share the amazing work done by Bobbi at The Salty Peanut.  I highly recommend her to all of my Wisconsinite friends, particularly those in the Madison area, though she's willing to travel.  Check out the website here  and let her know that Mrs. Porch sent you her way!  Her work speaks for itself so I won't gush too much...... I seriously cannot pick a favorite.  So I'm not going to.  But you can!  :) Just 19 days until Baby Porch is predicted to arrive!  I'm so happy we got these back before she arrived; it's such a fun way to remember this exciting time in our lives.  And soon, we won't look nearly as well-rested, but we'll have ...
