23 Weeks

Here's a picture of my belly at 23 weeks. I don't know why, but it doesn't look very accurate. I know for sure my belly is much bigger, but it doesn't come across that way in the picture. I was even constipated at the time too. I think it has something to do with my striped shirt. Hmmm.

My sister Sheryll went to Seattle to see her brother-in-law graduate from High School. While she was there she picked up this cute little onesie at an art store. I love it! It's got a camera on it! How cool is that? He's going to be my cute little photography assistant! I'm so excited to dress him in this when he gets bigger!

Here's a fun little survey for my blog book.

How far along?: 23 weeks and 5 days!

Weight Gain?: 4.5 lbs (I lost a bunch of weight during my first trimester)

Stretch Marks?: Not yet, but I know I'm doomed to get them. Doomed I say! Doomed! It runs in my family, and I have a couple from when I went through um . . . you know . . . puberty and stuff.

Maternity Clothes?: I've bought a couple of shorts and a shirt from A Pea in a Pod and JC Penney. I also bought some from Target and love them. I have this amazing little stretchy elastic item that Matt got me that I can put over my jeans that I can't button anymore. I love it. I definitely need more clothes though!

Food Cravings?: Let's just say everything! I would list everything, but it would be like 2 paragraphs long, so I'll just list the main things. Arby Sauce, Spumoni, Broccoli, Tangelos (It sucks I can't find them anymore), Anything my mom cooks, Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies, Apples (Jonagold only), Awesome Blossom (from Texas Roadhouse), brownies, and the list goes on.

Movement:? Crazy movement! I can feel him kicking, punching, adjusting his position, maybe hiccup (but not so sure he's hiccuping or just kicking). Last week his head was like poking out of my belly! There was this super hard round spot that Matt and I could literally see.

Name?: Owen for right now. We aren't 100% certain. We are still deciding on his middle name.

What I miss?: I miss not feeling tired all the time. I really really miss rollerblading. Matt and I used to rollerblade almost every single day at Liberty Park last summer.

Belly Button?: Still an "innie". I think it might just pop out any day though. I should take a picture of my belly button everyday and make a fast picture video so I can watch it pop out! That would be so funny.

What I'm looking forward to?: Of course getting to hold Owen in my arms and rock him to sleep.

Milestone?: Making it to 6 months! Go me!
