How far along? 23 Weeks, Baby is the size of a cob of sweet corn.
Total weight gain & Measurements: About 12lbs so far. Waist is
32in and tummy is 37in.
Maternity clothes? As I couldn't get into my account for ages there is quite a bit. I bought 3 dressed from H&M one you can see in the photo above. 2 pairs of over the bump skinny jeans a dark blue pair from Debanams Red Herring and another from Mother care. 2 T shirts from Debanams one is Gray sort sleeves and soo soft and the other is red with little white dots. Its also a nursing top o should see me through a fair while. I also picked up a pack of 2 T shirts from Mother care in black and white.
Stretch marks?
Nope, I am still using Bio-oil daily and palma's pregnancy coco butter
on and evening. Re purchased the palma's pregnancy butter as they brought out a new formula and its so much better the scent is lovely now.
Sleep: With the hot weather its not been the best so afternoon naps rock my world at the moment!
Best moment this week: This was last weeks but it to good to not tell you. But a few weeks ago my husband felt the baby move but it was such a small movement he was not sure if he imagined it or not. Well this week I was sat at my home office desk and baby was kicking and you could see it through my top. So I called him over to see. He put his hand on my belly and finally received a big old kick. He was so excited :-) Before the baby has always felt his hand and gone still. So I was so pleased he could feel a proper kick at last.
Miss anything? Enjoying the heat of summer. Usually I am a summer person and love the heat but this year I am really feeling it. Not looking forward to the 26c that I have to work out doors in tomorrow :(
Food cravings: Nothing really.. I am very boring I know.
Exercise: This week I have managed Swimming for 45min on Monday, Wednesday a 30min Power walk followed by a 20 slow walk later in the day. Today I did a 45min Yoga class. But tomorrow and Saturday I will be on my feet for about 8 - 10 hrs each so I think that will be enough.
Anything making you queasy or sick: Tomato based pasta sauces still and the smell of carex hand wash.
Gender: Wont know till our little one is born as we decided to not find out at the 20 week scan. I love surprises to much.
Labor signs: No.
Movement: Yep all the time more so on an evening when I am relaxed.
Symptoms: Tiredness
Belly button in or out? In!
Wedding rings on or off? On.
Happy or moody most of the time: Its about half and half. Though I am dealing with anxiety a lot. Not so much about the pregnancy but more day to day life and work. I went to see my Doc and she told me its quite common for pregnancy to bring this out. I am hoping that when my busy season at work ends I will feel better.
Looking forward to: My midwife appointment next week. It seems ages since I last saw someone. I am weird I know!
