Week 23

Week 23
·  Size of baby: He's more than 11 inches long and weighs just over a pound (about as much as a large mango)
·  Weight gain: Why do I still have this up. I don’t own a scale. I won’t re-weigh until the 15^th.   
·  Symptoms experienced: The pregnancy waddle.  Full blown waddle. And the funny looking squat to pick things up.
·  How I feel: Battered. He is STRONG. But elated because I believe he will come home in January.
·  What I've been craving: Munchies. Nothing really in particular. But all I want to do is eat. Even when I am not hungry.
·  What I miss: Sleeping through the night. Its long gone for the next half decade at least.. oh well.  
·  Best moment: Lots this week. Baby A kicked daddy in the face while he was listening to him move. And I watched hubby’s head bounce up then he looked at me in amazement. Yes, that was him:) Hubs parents also spent the weekend with us and helped him paint the nursery… it’s going to look AWESOME. I'm saving the pictures for a giant before, during, and after post. I just have to convince myself to paint everything else. (With safe non fume-y acrylic.)
·  Items purchased: My wonderful amazing, super awesome nanny mom gave us a small fortune in baby boy clothes. I think we are set for QUITE a while! We however, haven’t bought anything this week but paint! 

Other random updates. My nurse thinks I really have a handle on my GD, and I am very proud of myself. Minus some cheating this weekend that caused a 165. Whoops.
