23

How far along: 23 Weeks!

Gender: Lady

Symptoms: Still dealing with super uncomfortable pressure in my ribs.

Weight gain: I don't want to talk about it...

Maternity clothes: Tried to wear a non maternity shirt to work this week. It was not cute. I squeezed into a non maternity dress for Christmas mass  (pictured above). It was truly a Christmas miracle that it zipped. 

Stretch marks: Nope. 

Belly button in or out: If I sit just right, it starts popping out a little.

Sleep: I wish I could find a position that works the whole night. It's getting harder to roll from one side to the other. I'm pretty sure my abs have given up and gone into hibernation until April.

Best moment this week: Christmas! Spending time in Manhattan with my family and friends was wonderful.  I got to grab delicious donuts and catch up with my best friend, Katie. My family was super entertained by my parent's new cat, Mo. She think Christmas is the best holiday because there are so many toys around. She helped herself to any ribbons and bows on presents and stole a couple of ornaments off the tree. 

Oh, and waking up to a white Christmas Eve! I've been waiting for snow and it picked a perfect time to arrive. 

Worst moment this week: Dealing with the pain in my ribs. It prevented me from really going to town on Christmas sweets which is probably a good thing. 

Miss anything: Being comfortable

Movement: Yup! Another favorite moment was when she starting moving around during the Christmas music at mass. 

Cravings: Egg Nog

Queasy or sick: Mostly not, but occasionally I won't feel too great

Looking forward to: Two doctor appointments next week! One regular and one for an echo on the baby's heart.
