23 weeks preggo and major mom brain

Gender: Boy!

Weight gain: 15 lbs.

Maternity clothes: Feeling like a whale! Wearing a few maternity shirts but mostly regular long shirts, and wishing I owned a pair of maternity pants. I definitely think they're in my future this time around.

Belly button in or out: Somewhere in the middle

Sleep: Decent, my almost 1 year old is definitely keeping me up more these days than the little babe inside of me ;) 

Best moment this week: Being so productive! I've been cleaning like crazy (more than my usual crazy cleaning) and I don't know if it's that I'm an early nester, or if it's just that pregnancy makes me extra OCD! 

Worst moment this week: No complaints other than some minor aches and pains

Miss anything: Energy. I feel like my body is wearing down much faster this time. I miss doing simple daily tasks with ease, and feeling strong and fit! Like I said before, whale status over here. 

Movement: Mostly in the evenings when I'm lounging. He doesn't show off much during the day, and I have only felt him while standing up a handful of times. We can see him bouncing around from the outside, which is always the coolest part. 

Cravings: Sushi. Candy. Gross (but so good) greasy foods. Jake has made a couple late night McDonald's runs for me...no shame.

Queasy or sick: Feeling good! Random spells of nausea, but definitely manageable. 

Looking forward to: Switching around the kiddos rooms, and holding this baby! I can't wait to do the newborn stage again. 

Loooove those creepers in the back!!

Guess what? I just realized I totally forgot to post our gender reveal post, duh. I can blame this one on mom brain. Since this is old news, I'm going to add on this post from Dec 19th to this one, haha! 

We had our gender ultrasound last week and found out the little nugget growing inside of me is a BOY!! My initial reaction held a tinge of disappointment (probably mostly because I've just been so dang emotional this pregnancy with a million ups and downs, nothing is surprising at this point), but it's gone now and I'm stoked to have another little man cub in the family! 

We didn't get to see his little face because of his position, so all we walked away with was this funny picture of our very obviously little boy!

 

 

Forever kissing those cheeks!
