22/23 Weeks & Tums

Stretch marks: Nothing more...that I know of. 

Sleep: I wake up maybe once a night to pee.  I toss and turn a decent amount but I don't feel like I'm losing sleep over it.  I've had some crazy dreams, but I quickly forget them because I don't write them down. ;/ 

Best moment of this week: Finding out that we can use my in-laws Direct Buy membership to get a convertible crib, tall dresser, and short dresser for wayyyy less than anything else we looked at! Woo for good deals!  

Miss anything: Being able to eat or drink something without it feeling like it's going to come up.  Indigestion SUCKS and TUMS helps for maybe 15 minutes.  It's the worst at night and I've been following all of the guidelines in terms of not eating late, not eating super acidic foods, etc.  My theory:  I've always had a short torso and this means less room than normal for baby girl to grow.  The more she grows, the less room my stomach and everything else has to do it's job.  I know I'm completely screwed if it's this bad at 23 weeks. 

Movement: SO much movement and it's pretty much all turned to thumps and kicks.  I think she's stubborn, though, because every time I tell Ryan that she's moving and he can feel her, she stops.  I love her anyway :) 

Food cravings: Nope...this is disappointing.

Anything making you queasy or sick: Indigestion, at times, has made me feel like I'm almost going to throw up.  Haven't yet but I can almost see it in my future. 

Have you started to show yet: The belly is there.  I now have strangers and people I meet on appointments at work ask me when I'm due.  I like it :) 

Labor signs: None, thank God. 

Belly button in or out: Still innie/flat.

Happy or moody most of the time: Moody.  One minute I'm happy, one minute I'm sad, another I'm anxious, another stressed, another excited....you get the point.

Looking forward to: Ryan feeling her kick more! 

Ignore this crazy hair...not sure what happened there.  Also ignore the bad acne on my chin that I thought would be a good idea to scratch right before this picture.  Officially 6 months preggo!  WOO! 

Stretch marks: Chest, buttocks, no where else as of now. I know they're coming.

Sleep: I'm sleeping okay still.  Ryan on the other hand....Samson has had an injured paw and is on steroids that not only make him pee about every hour, but it also makes him want to drink gallons of water right after going potty. I don't hear Samson at night, so poor Ryan has been waking up a couple of times a night to take Samson out.  I think this is God's way of preparing what's to come.

Best moment of this week: Officially deciding on her name - Everleigh Ann Hibbard! We've had this name for probably a month now, but I kept telling Ryan I wanted to go through other names just to be sure there wasn't something else.  After about 5 weeks of not looking at other names, I realized this is probably because I'm happy with Everleigh and feels right. :) 

Also, registering at Babies R Us!  Ryan went TRIGGER HAPPY with the gun and I think I'll need to do some damage control online.  Are you willing to buy us a $550 rocking glider? Didn't think so.    I am pumped, however, that the carseat I wanted (Chicco Keyfit 30) has a special edition that has the neoprene material Ryan likes.  Not only does it have the smooth fabric, but it's a really pretty teal color I love. It's the little things. :) 

Miss anything: Wine.  I miss wine this week.  It's probably because it's month end at work and I'm stressed, but I just miss it.  I want just a small glass....that's it. 

Movement: Allllll the time.  Kicks everywhere.  She's all over the place.  I'm starting to think she gets really active when I haven't had anything to eat in a couple of hours.  If she's anything like her momma, she probably gets pretty grumpy when she's hungry. :) 

Food cravings: Still nothing.  Maybe pickles & ice cream will come in the third trimester. 

Anything making you queasy or sick: Nada. 

Have you started to show yet: I think it's time to take this question out.   

Labor signs: None, thank God. 

Belly button in or out: Still innie/flat.

Happy or moody most of the time: Alllll over the place.  

Looking forward to: Getting to see her again when I go back to the doctors next week!
