Feb. Vacation, 23 Weeks, 4 months to go!

Well folks, its Presidents Day and that means FEBRUARY VACATION for public schools!! Yippee!! I am in desperate need of some time away from those wild kids!! This week I will be doing a lot of errands, getting ready for baby a little, and getting my car fixed. Wah.

Yesterday was a milestone, exactly 4 months to go!! I wish I could say that time is flying, but I feel like it is dragging on! I am exactly 23 weeks pregnant today! I have another OB appointment in 2 weeks then I start going for bi-weekly check-ups! Now that seems crazy since that means I will be just getting into the third trimester at that point! I think the third tri will be a quick one, and hopefully it will! I figure the third tri starts at 28 weeks, which means I then only have 2 weeks until the 30 week milestone, then I will only have between 8-10 weeks left depending if baby M decides she wants out at 38-40 weeks. I for one, hope she comes around 38 weeks because I know every waking moment of the day I will be trying to make that baby come!! I already feel HUGE so I cannot imagine what I will feel like at 40 weeks! Yikes!

I cannot wait to not be pregnant anymore. I hate my wardrobe, or the lack thereof. Nothing out of my regular clothes fit anymore and maternity clothes are BUTT UGLY no matter what. Its a daily struggle to find something to wear. This pregnancy has been a breeze, so I really cannot complain! I know so many people who have terrible symptoms or end up on bed rest, so I consider myself very lucky to have had an easy pregnancy thus far!

As far as baby goes:
***How Far Along: 23 Weeks
Size of baby: Around 11 inches long and weighs just over 1lb! Around the size of a large mango!


Gender: Girl!!!!!
Movement: Lots of movement around bedtime and mid day! She is a little ballerina in the making!
Sleep: ? I toss and turn a lot and often wind up on my back somehow, then I have to turn over. This happens a few times a night. At least the weird dreams have gone away! 
What I miss: Wine, sushi, regular clothing
Cravings: Fruit, chicken, anything from Anna's Taqueria!
Symptoms: A huge baby bump! I feel massive already!
