Week 23 Bumpdate

Who knows why the lighting is different in each picture. I guess I can blame my patient husband who loves taking these weekly pictures (HAHA!)

How far along? 23 weeks!

Baby is the size of a: grapefruit. 10.5-11.8 inches and 12.7-20.8 ounces.

Gender: Girl, girl, girl! We definitely know this because she shows herself at every ultrasound.

Total weight gain: 10+ pounds.

Maternity clothes? bottoms, yes! I can still make some of my dresses and tops work!

Stretch marks? So far we are in the clear!
Symptoms: Growing belly and other non fun pregnancy symptoms! 

Sleep: I hope I don't jinx myself, but this week hasn't been bad. I have been waking up around 2:00 to use the bathroom but that is better than aching hips!

Miss Anything: Not this week! Other than maybe warmer weather! :)

Movement: She is very active! Ben loves feeling her kick. 

Food cravings: Nothing too strong this week!

Anything making you queasy or sick: Nope!

Labor Signs: We will talk in about 16 weeks!
Happy or Moody most of the time: Extremely happy! 

Exercise: My zumba instructor went out of town for Spring Break; so Ben and I just walked the dogs in the afternoon and one day I cleaned house all day and that was a workout!

Looking forward to: Getting more stuff for the nursery! I have several things saved in my amazon and ikea checkout box, all I am waiting on is Payday!!!!! :) 

Monday when we went back for our anatomy scan "re-do" the tech was able to get everything she needed. Janie Beth looked perfect and was putting on a show for us. They were also slow so the tech swapped it over to 4d for us so we were able to see her sweet face more clearly! It was an awesome appointment! 

 

Nursery Update

First and foremost I am NOT a crafty person. I have a vision in my head but can't really describe it order for some people to understand. Luckily I have a pretty crafty mama who is able to help me out.

Another thing I am NOT....a photographer. Ben bought me an amazing camera for Christmas and I am learning how to play with it. So with that being said, please don't laugh at my pictures :)

Okay, without further adieu here is what we accomplished today!

The before....

I promise in real life it didn't look as streaky! Like I said I am learning how to use the different settings on my camera!

And the after...

Les Marie 2015

For the past two years Johnny and Kathy Sullivan have graciously invited us to Les Marie Ball and we always have the best time. This year my parents have joined in on the fun and they now have a table at the Ball so we went as their guest with my two sisters and few other friends! We had the best time (even me who was drinking just sweet tea)!

Let's do a little #transformationthursday #flashbackfriday #waybackwednesday or whatever you wan to call it!
