23 Weeks

*How far along? 23 weeks 4 days
*How big is baby? The babies are as big as papayas during this 5th month.
*Genders? Two boys!
*Total weight gain? I am up around 20 lbs from pre-pregnancy weight.
*Maternity Clothes? All maternity clothes now!
*Stretch marks? None yet – keeping my fingers crossed!
*Sleep? Last week I started sleeping with a pillow between my knees and a soft blanket under my belly – this has helped my sleep quality improve a lot!
*Movement? More & more movement each day; it has been my favorite part of pregnancy so far.
*Food cravings? No strong ”pregnancy” cravings still.
*Labor signs? None.
*Belly button in or out? It’s starting to “pop” even a little more this week even though I still have somewhat of an “innie” left.
*What I miss? Dr. Pepper. I’ve tried to limit my caffeine intake during this pregnancy so I’ve stayed away from most types of soda. I did have a couple drinks of Dr. Pepper yesterday and it tasted awesome!!
*What I am looking forward to? Going to the technical college tonight for a 2-D & 3-D ultrasound – I can’t wait to see my little guys again! I also have another doctor appointment tomorrow, so I’m excited to make sure everything is still looking good. We are also having the carpet laid in the two “extra” rooms on Tuesday, completing their makeovers.
*Best moment this week? Getting our two “extra” rooms’ walls painted! I didn’t paint, but a huge “Thank You!!” to Cory & my parents for putting in some hard work Friday night & Saturday morning getting it done – they look awesome!! Also, going to a multiples consignment sale with my mom on Saturday – even though it took longer than planned we had a fun day shopping and got some good deals.
