F is for A Footlong Baby (23 Weeks)


(Photos taken in California. 
Below with my adorable pregnant cousin Tara who's due with Baby No. 4 in November.)


How far along? 23 Weeks


Baby’s Size: According to all the e-mails I receive, the baby should be a foot in length and about 1 pound.

Weight Gain: No idea, but I assume around 10 pounds.

Bellybutton: in



Stretchmarks: None yet.  Keep up the cocoa butter lotion.


Maternity Clothes:  My cousin Tara gave me two cute shirts, a skirt and a pair of pants while we visited her in California.  I love the skirt and black shirt. (Thanks Tara!) And, I bought a pair of skinny black dress pants, three shirts and a pair of regular jeans in two sizes bigger that I can grow into.


Names: We're not telling, but they are a tad old fashioned.


Gender: Surprise baby




Movement:  Lots of movement at once then nothing for quite awhile.  I feel the most when I am waking up in the morning.




Sleep:  Great now that I am back in my own bed.



Food Aversions: None. I love food




Best Moments this week: Traveling to California with my Mom to see lots of family!




What I miss: Running.  I haven't really run since I lost my running buddy Brianna. But Matt takes lots of walks with me and Tootsie.




What I am looking forward to:  (Before baby is born)  Emily's wedding. (After the baby is born) Meeting Baby L.J.  Running again. Wearing my regular pants.

Milestones: felt the baby kickin'
