23rd Week Update

23 WeeksToday I’m 23 weeks pregnant! Boogie’s still a jitter bug. I have occasional heartburn, sometimes it can be fiery! I’m feeling a little stiff under my rib cage from the belly stretching, other than that I can’t complain! I’ve gotten used to scooting and rolling out of bed. Our scale is missing 3 of the bottom pieces used to balance it, so either I have to find them (hopefully) or buy another scale. Until then, my weight is unknown! Last week I was 114lbs, 9lbs gained. One thing that I’ve noticed is that I have to eat in portions. I find myself feeling so hungry, then I start eating and I feel full quickly. Shortly after I’m hungry again! It’s so frustrating.

Next week I will start reviewing some of my favorite maternity finds. Stay tuned for that. Daddy also has a product review coming up soon!

(We have been keeping weekly accounts of our pregnancy since the 22nd week. If you’re interested in reading weekly updates prior to or following this one, click here!)

    Omg. This site is a blessing. Thanks so much. I love reading your experiences. You’re just a few weeks ahead of me and it’s like reading what to expect. Hehe. You’re also as tiny as me too, so I’m encouraged to know you’re doing so well!! Haha. :)

    You look awesome! You are tiny. :)

    I weighed about 113 when I got pregnant with my first daughter but I pigged out on too much McDonalds! ;) Then with my second I only gained about 27 pounds.

    Thanks for entering my giveaway…sorry it went into my spam karma program. It can be mean at times!

    p.s. I should clarify and say I got up to about 150 (from 113) with my first girl! ;)

    Yeah…too many french fries. I was smarter about what I ate the second time around.

    Hello! So glad you’re doing so well! With Miracle Boy (my #4), my waters broke in week 18+3, and getting to week 22-23 was partial goal # 1! He’s fine, btw, was born by c-section in week 30+1.
    I’ve had 3 normal pregnancies too, and I can sooo relate to the happy feeling. I’d do it every year if I could, lol!
    Best of luck to you!
