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.

Charlotte {9 months}

Let's just put this out there, we picked Charlotte before Charlotte was a princess.  ;)  And I'm not sure that the royal baby will ever be called Charlie or Charlie Bug and I'm even more certain that I don't care what they named their kid.  It's just about to be an amazingly popular baby name and we were TOTES ahead of that trend. Charlotte is 9 months old already! Stats Weight:  20 lbs, 12 oz (86.13 %ile) Length:  29.75 inches (98.75 %ile) Head circumference:  18.23 inches (96.69 %ile) This girl is perfect.  She is proportional and amazingly squishy. Teeth:  still just the 2 lower, but I'm confident she'll have a few top teeth soon.  She's been a drool machine lately and everything is back to being in her mouth. Charlotte likes... ... walking around the house (holding mama and daddy's fingers) ... Army crawling, especially when she can pull on the high pile carpet in her room ... those Gerber wheel treat things ... bath time ...

Charlotte's birth story

Thank goodness this isn't my 40 week update; I was really nervous that I'd have to write one of those and even possibly the dreaded 41 week update!  Today was her due date, but we got to meet her just a little early.  Charlotte Esther joined our family at 2:07am on Friday, August 8th... and changed our lives forever.  There's now a squishy baby who calls for us and loves nothing more than snuggling on our chests.  We are, in fact, living the dream.  A dream 4 years in the making and worth every moment.  My heart is so full of love for Charlotte and I am so excited to see how she grows and changes. I have always enjoyed reading the birth stories of my blogger friends' babies and felt it gave me hope as it was the final moment in the battle against infertility, the crossing of a finish line.  So today, in celebration of love and this chubby cheeked baby girl, I share with you the story of Charlotte's birth. Charlotte's Birth Story... I woke up Thur...

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?
