23 Weeks Along!

Today I am 23 weeks along + I keep telling myself that I need to get on here + document this pregnancy a little bit better! So here I am...hoping that Hudson will sleep a little bit longer so I can write this :)

How far along: 23 weeks!

How big is the baby: the size of a grapefruit...about 11.3 inches + 1.1 lbs (so says the app)

Total weight gain: last I checked I had gained about 16 pounds...but that was a few weeks ago so I am sure I am nearing the 20's if I haven't passed 20 already. When I was pregnant with Hudson I never really felt "fat" but this pregnancy I just feel like a huge whale.

Maternity clothes: I wear them all the time! Pants are becoming a must...it is joggers + maternity jeans on repeat over here.

Sleep: if Hudson will just learn to sleep in his toddler bed then I think I would be getting a lot more sleep. It has been a nightmare getting him to sleep at night + then he is up almost every 2 hours!!!!! Needless to say with that, work in the morning, + being pregnant....I am always tired!

Best moment this week: the other day I read some really positive quotes + uplifting mom stories + that has helped me stay positive + have more patience with our little guy Hudson.

Symptoms: TIRED + cramping

Food Cravings: Spicy foods + Milk - just like how it was when I was pregnant with Hud

Food Aversions: I still am not super crazy about eggs!

Gender: BOY!

Belly Button in or out: I was looking at my belly today + my belly button is definitely close to being a full fledge outie.

What I miss: lunch meat + sushi!

What I am looking forward to: My next appointment - I love hearing the baby's heartbeat.

Bump: I feel like I am sticking out a whole lot more than I was with Hudson but people still tell me that I am hardly showing hah. I don't know if I should be happy about that or not! I kind of want to look pregnant when I am pregnant....do you know what I mean?

Anyways we are so excited about this little boy + I can't wait to see Hudson with him.
