Here I am at 23 weeks. My tummy has been killing me all day, lots of gas pains which means back to drinking my good old friend miralax. I told Bryce that if I didn't have something like that I would've had to make another trip to the doctor or ER. For those of you who didn't know, I was hospitalized for a few days about a year ago after they found out I had a large blockage in my intestines. It causes excruciating gas pains that feel like stabbing pains everywhere. They did a colonoscopy to rule out chron's and the experience was miserable. Luckily I found with my current doctor that miralax helps with moving my blockages so I'm normal if I include miralax in my diet. Luckily it has no taste!! Anyways, luckily it was a slow day at work (I usually hate slow days but I was in so much discomfort it didn't matter... That shows me to go awhile without taking miralax :( )
ANYWAYS, our little girl is wonderful and healthy as far as we know. We have our last ultrasound to get a few more measurements they couldn't get right since she was a squirmer last time, next Thursday, so that's exciting! One more than most get! Haha :)
How far along:
Exactly 23 weeks along :D
Size of baby:
She is a little over a foot- or the size of a bunch of grapes... Which sounds inaccurate. But I'll allow it. She ways almost 20 oz or a pound and a quarter. Our little girl has always measured 6 days behind so I'm sure she doesn't weigh that much!
Total Weight Gain:
Good question, no idea. Always forget to weigh in the morning which is what I always compare my weight to for past weigh ins so... Oops. I'm supposed to be gaining a lot of weight now?? Who knows.
Stretch Marks:
Moody/Happy?
Still so freaking happy :) being married to Bryce makes life enjoyable! He's so funny.
What I’m looking forward to:

Stretch Marks:
Still none to speak of!
Maternity Clothes:
No new additions but my amazing sister has sent a box my way with cute maternity things! :)
Gender:
Not much to update. I think I have a fear that we will go in for my ultrasound and they'll be like JUST KIDDING it's a boy. They did tell me with girls there is a 3% chance they are wrong... Yikes.
Movement: She is still moving all the time. Her kicks are now directed at my cervix and bladder which isn't necessarily enjoyable. I prefer her kicking my belly so I can feel on the outside :)
Belly Button in or out?:
Still an innie, a never ending pit.
Sleep:
Sleep is still going well. If I lay on the floor for a nap, my hips kill after.

Every time I eat I feel like my stomach is going to explode.
Food Cravings:
This is bad. I've had Kung Pow Chicken from Panda 3 times since last Tuesday. I'm obsessed. It's so spicy and delicious. Enjoying it still while I can.
Food Aversions: Chicken that's home cooked, some red meats still, and I really hate left overs. I hate the smell of cooking meats.
Nausea:
Today I woke up sick but it didn't feel like morning sickness, more flu-like.

Pregnancy Brain Moments:
I just have short term memory loss... Hahah
What I’m looking forward to:
Ultrasound next Thursday :)
Baby Names:
Okay so I have an illogical fear that one of my friends will name their baby something and I will have had the same name and they'll think I copied them... I don't care if my baby has the same name as one of my friends babies, but I don't want to anyone to think I stole a name haha. However, we are keeping it to ourselves since when we see her she may look like something totally different. But we have 3 top names... And they are all VERY cute. That is all.
22 Weeks 5 Days
