Happy Thanksgiving! Recap to come tomorrow. With pictures! Probably. I dunno.
How far along? 23 weeks
Total weight gain: Down 1.5lbs as of my last appointment. I gained 5lbs in 5 weeks. Not too bad considering how much this kid makes me eat. I’ll definitely take it.
Maternity clothes? Yes.
Sleep: Who has time?
Food cravings: Thanksgiving food. But that may be because I can smell the remnants of my mini-baking session last night. Mmmm cornbread stuffing.
Best moment this week: Finding out the ultrasound results. Everything is perfect. Whew! Also, doc says I can have egg nog.
Movement: So much. He’s a wiggler.
Gender: A boy. I think it’s starting to sink in. Sometimes.
Labor Signs: Nothing right now. Still getting some Braxton Hicks, but usually when I overdo it.
Belly Button in or out? In. Barely
What I miss: Today, a lot of things. I miss being able to bend over as much as I need to to put things in and out of the oven without being in so much pain. I miss having the stamina to get it all done without feeling worn out. And wine.
What I am looking forward to: Next week. Viability.
Weekly Wisdom: I got nothing.
Milestones: Trucking along.
Today, I am thankful for this little kicky boy. Who is already very much a mama’s boy and I love it.
I am thankful for my little girl. Who flushed an entire roll of toilet paper down the toilet this morning. She definitely keeps us on our toes.
I am thankful for Mr. Silly. Who has done so much cleaning lately, it’s ridiculous. He mopped this morning. It’s only 8am. He also rinsed the heavy turkey for me last night, thus grossifying his hands. He hates being messy, so this is big.
I am thankful for my friends and family. Who are all relatively happy and healthy. And with so many sisters, I always have someone to call and whine to when I need to.
I am thankful that we are fortunate to have a roof over our head, all the comforts we could ask for and enough turkey to have leftovers for a week.
