23 Weeks

I went to my appointment yesterday and heard Bud's heartbeat. He's doing just fine, growing as he should. Unfortunately, I've gained about 10 more pounds in the past five weeks, so I'm on a "diet". I'm so aggravated that they keep changing things back and forth. My weight is fluctuating to the extremes and I don't know why, they don't know why, and I'm crumbling. My fingers are fat, my ankles are fat, and my face is fat. Fat, fat, fat. They keep telling me everything is normal. No high blood pressure, no diabetes, or anything along those lines. Just "weight gain". It's so confusing.

Pregnancy Highlights:
How far along: 23 weeks.
Size of baby: A papaya!
Total weight gain/loss: 20-25 pounds. Ugh.
Maternity clothes: My overalls and pajama pants.
Gender: Still a boy.
Movement: Very much lately. He even gets hiccups.
Sleep: This week, I've slept really well.
What I miss: Nothing still.
Cravings: Bean burritos from Taco Bell still. No onions.
Symptoms: Having to pee all the time.
Best moment this week: Eating a bean burrito and feeling full.

All the boxes

Wow, I haven't written in here in a while, huh? Sorry. I've been busy sorting through our things, packing junk into boxes and making trips with Zac to Hammond and back. Kenny is letting us move back into the house and we're trying to clean and get a nursery set up for our little Bud. I'm hoping this weekend will be our last trip so we can get settled. It's exhausting!

New Year's 2006

Happy New Year!

Zac and I went to my parents' last week to celebrate a late Christmas. Emily and Alex have moved in with them temporarily until they find their own apartment. We all went to Meredith's to see little Molly and pass her around. She fell asleep in my arms while I was giving her a bottle. She's so tiny and cute. I'm so ready to hold my own baby already.
