23 weeks

We had Monday off school for the holiday, but that of course made this week at school feel SO. LONG. On top of that, many students were issues so it just made for an all around tough time. Needless to say, I was happy when the weekend showed its face! This week there were a few stints of snow, but of course none of them produced a snow day, so I am sure that is what made this week feel even longer than normal. Below are some pictures of Karsen from the week and then a belly pic!

A blanket over the garden makes for a nice fort!

Practicing more selfies. 

"Move quicker on breakfast, mom!"

Animal crackers.

Discovering static electricity!

Never enough tub wall space for all the letters.

Bath time is so much fun!

He loves to read.

"Im taller!"

He was too distracted by the snow on his shoe to even care about the soccer ball. Mom and kid were SO glad it was nice outside!

How far along? 23 weeks. The baby is the size of a mango.

Total weight gain: I am up 9 pounds from the start of this pregnancy. Yikes. Clearly it has been a stagnant winter for me. As it starts getting warmer, I plan on going out to walk a lot more. Let's hope that helps curb the added weight.

Maternity clothes: Still the maternity jeans and I've started incorporating more maternity tops into my wardrobe for school. And like last week, still squeezing into my tshirts!

Sleep: Sleep is ok. It is getting better. I have stopped drinking water too late at night and that has helped me sleep through the night.

Best moment this week: School was AWFUL this week, so my best moments were coming home to spend time with K...and Bruce!

Miss anything? I could have really used a glass of wine this week...

Movement: Still kicks throughout the day. The kicks are even getting stronger! 

Food cravings: Id say my cravings are sweets. Cant get enough of them...

Symptoms: I didnt feel as much stomach tightening this week as I did last. I remember that same thing happening when I was pregnant with Karsen. Things I have read say around this time in pregnancy, the body starts preparing for labor so I would feel tightening. Guess it all happened as normal. 

Belly button in or out? In. 

Wedding rings on or off? On and comfortable.

Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy to be home with Karsen and Bruce...moody at school...

Looking forward to: Spring break! :)
