23 Weeks!

How far along: 23 Weeks! 

Weight Gain: Back up to 5 pounds total. 

Nicknames: Nelly, Peanut, Little bit, baby girl, #AMEN

What are we most excited about next: My first baby shower!!!! 

Movement: Jeffrey felt her for the first time over the weekend. It was such a special moment for our little family. 
I also got to see her little kicks on the outside of my stomach. I ate a bit of dark chocolate for the first time since I got pregnant and she went wild; her mommy was loving it! It was the coolest thing I have ever seen/experienced

Belly button: Normal so far ;)

Size: She is one pound!  (She is about the size of a papaya or baseball mitt). 

How I’m feeling: 

• This week is Fall break so I am feeling great! 

Sickness: None this week!!! WHOOOO... this is a small victory for me! Lots of acid re-flux though... yuck!

Cravings: 

• Water!!!!!
• I feel "full" all the time. 

Aversions: 

• Lettuce
• Fish
• Dairy besides the dark chocolate I ate :)

Physical changes: Similar to last week. I am doing great! My skin is the clearest it has ever been, my nails and hair are so thick. I wish I could look like this post-pregnancy (minus the bump of course). 

Fun Update: We scheduled our birthing class this past weekend! Jeffrey was so cute while he talked to the nurse. We are So thrilled about this stage in our life. I didn't think Jeffrey and I could grow any closer, but over the past five months, we have fallen even more in love. He is such a great daddy already! 

Workout: I went to pilates twice this week and did a barre class. I also took Roxie on a few 3 mile walks!

Nursery:  Her room is at a stand still until we have our first shower. I have this inner desire to have it all done NOW, so I am trying to calm my perfectionist self down because we still have 3 1/2 months before she arrives. 

OMG, we have 3 1/2 months to go until we meet our little princess! EEEEEEkkkkkk.
