This weekend marks twenty-three weeks into my pregnancy! It’s really flying by this time!
My weight gain is on track so far. I had gained the recommended 10 pounds by week twenty, and I’ve put a little more on since then. My belly is really expanding! I’m wearing some maternity clothes and some regular clothes. Maternity pants don’t stay up yet, and regular jeans are a little tight, so I’m using a Belly Band and wearing sweatpants at home a lot. 🙂 I love wearing dresses because they are SO comfortable!
I’ve slept really, really well the last few nights, so I’m thankful for that. Not drinking a ton of water right before bed helps keep me from waking up in the middle of the night.
Our baby boy is moving a lot. I feel him flipping and kicking many times a day! We’re still thinking about a name.
One of the best moments in the past week was when my friend Carrie came over and brought her 6-week-old boy. He started smiling at me and I realized for the first time that maybe a baby boy might actually like me! Baby girls are my comfort-zone, so it was nice to feel like a baby boy might like me back. 🙂
Aliesha, your baby boy will ADORE you. You wait until the little guy comes toddling up to you with a dandelion that he just picked for you. You will positively melt into a puddle on the floor.
Just remember: you will be his queen! 🙂
Thanks, Davene! I can’t wait!

You look so good! Baby boys seem to get very attached to their mamas…at least in my experience. 🙂
