23 Weeks





My 23 week appointment went great today. I had to do the sugar test. Drinking that drink is just so gross. I made it though. All my tests from last time came back great. Dr. Rainwater says everything is going great, and we are right on track. I had asked her about my weight gain, and how I feel so huge. She just said that happens with your second and third child. All the muscles have already stretched so there isn't anything keeping it in :). Hopefully all my twin comments will stop! There is only one in there! Next appointment I get the wonderful RhoGAM shot in my rear. So not lucky to be RH negative.


How far along? 23 weeks
Total weight gain/loss: My weight at my appointment today was 143 - that is a total of 19 pounds that I have gained. 
Maternity clothes? Yes

Stretch marks? Nope - Probably shouldn't brag just yet, but my body has never had one stretch mark!

Sleep: Sleeping good, just get up about 3 times a night since I have been drinking so much fluids
Best moment this week: Feeling those huge punches.  I think I have even seen my belly move!

Miss Anything? Sleeping on my back and belly :).
Movement: Flutters and punches, a lot during the mornings and at night
Food cravings: Craving Orange Juice every morning. I am CONSTANTLY hungry, and I am thirsty a lot! I have never been a huge drinker, but I am waking up thirsty and having to drink all day.
Anything making you queasy or sick: Feeling SO much better now.

Have you started to show yet: Yes. BIG TIME. 
Gender: Won't know until he or she gets here. Lots of people are saying girl; however, I am saying boy.  I think that Jeremy and I are just boy factories :).   I am happy with that though.  I'll have three boys who love their momma!
Labor Signs: Nope.
Belly Button in or out? Halfway Out

Wedding rings on or off? On but sometimes a little tight!
Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy - Jeremy may say bossy though!
Looking forward to: Our next ultrasound in 8 weeks. Not looking forward to my RhoGAM shot at my next appointment!
