23 weeks
- How far along: 23 weeks
- Baby's size: Eggplant
- Total weight gain: 5 lbs.
- Baby's heart rate: 155 bpm at last check
- Maternity clothes: I got a few v-neck T-shirts at Old Navy, and a bag of goodies to borrow from my friend Joa! Now I would really like to save up my clothing budget for after the baby comes.
- Gender: Boy
- Names: We are settled on a name! Woohoo! It's such a relief and I'm just as excited about his name as I was with Rooney. I even ordered a couple things with his name on them!
- Movement: I am feeling him move every day, multiple times! Eric got to feel him last week, too!
- Sleep: Rooney has been waking us up at least once a night when she comes into our room (she's had a cold that I think has been waking her up). Other than that, I'm sleeping well!
- What I miss: Having energy to run and dance with Rooney, and being able to roll over easily in bed
- Cravings: Bread, cheese dip, sugary treats ... darn Whole30!
- Nursery update: The nursery colors are black, white and gray. I want to paint one wall black and am also planning to do a Sharpie Paint Pen mural on another wall. We are getting a crib from my parents (the one I slept in as a baby!) as well as a dresser, and I want to paint those black as well.
- Mommy thoughts:
- I get winded walking up a single flight of stairs. Uffda!
- I've had some back aches and dizziness this week. I looked back at my week 22 update from last pregnancy and I had dizziness then, too!
- I emailed Eric at like 4:00 in the morning yesterday to see what it would cost to add the baby to his insurance ... mommy brain won't shut off!
