23 weeks in. This is what is happening with My Little Loodle:
Baby is forming little nipples (yeah, really!) The face is fully formed now -- baby just needs a little extra fat to fill it out. They're listening to your voice and your heartbeat -- and even to loud sounds like cars honking and dogs barking. At about 10.5 to 11.8 inches and about 12.7
to 20.8 ounces, baby's not just getting bigger, it's getting even cuter.
My Symptoms: Back pain, cramping in my feet at night (painful!), swollen feet sometimes... rare so far.
Maternity clothes? Yep... all the time!
Sleep? I sleep a lot and get up to use the bathroom a lot. It's routine now :P
Best moment last week? The whole family (except Paul; he had to go back to work) stayed for up to a week after Christmas... it was so great to be with everyone!
Movement? Baby is extremely active.
Weight Gain: I am at 155 lbs. I've gained 4 since the last entry... it must be all of that holiday feasting!
Cravings: Nothing extreme yet... I just get plain hungry.
Food Aversions: Tomato soup, cilantro, spicy things, and spaghetti.
What made me cry this week: Nothing
Medical Stuff: Yesterday I got 3 wisdom teeth removed. With local anesthesia (about 5 to 6 shots), I was still awake and very much aware of the drilling and pulling... yeah, that was not ideal and I wish I had just gone and removed all 4, but oh well. I do not recommend this procedure until after pregnancy. It has not been the easiest recovery, although maybe I'm getting tougher for when labor hits ;) Next week, January 11th, we are scheduled for our first ultrasound and glucose test.
Something I am excited about: I am excited to see Paul. He had to go back to MIssouri on the 26th so it feels like forever since we've had time together. It'll be nice to be back with him in our cozy apartment :)
