Reason to Celebrate

I couldn't think of a better way to celebrate my birthday than to celebrate this little miracle I have been blessed with for 23 weeks!

How far along? 23 weeks

Total weight gain/loss: 22 lbs. last time I checked


Symptoms: can't breathe this week and itching...oh the itching!

Sleep: not too bad, but I woke up at 4 this morning

Best moment this week: my birthday today...even though I'm getting old!

Movement: Baby moves a lot around 9 - 9:30 every night. You can now clearly see those kicks and punches.


Food cravings: cereal

Gender: still in a sealed envelope :) Christi could probably get a lot of money for it!

Belly Button in or out? I must admit that it is flat

What I miss: driving seven minutes to work. Have I mentioned that I HATE traffic? I think the hormones are making my road rage worse. Lord, please forgive me.

What I am looking forward to: Birthday dinner tonight

Funny Pregnancy Quote: Q. My childbirth instructor says it's not pain I'll feel during labor, but pressure. Is she right?
A. Yes, in the same way that a tornado might be called an air current.

Weekly Wisdom: Working full time, taking care of an 18 month old and being pregnant is exhausting sometimes, but I know I'm going to miss it someday! (the being pregnant and chasing an 18 month old part, not the working part...just to clarify)

Milestones: I made it 27 years without being arrested and without any serious malfunctions. You should be proud Mom!

Confessions of a Working Mom: We slept without sheets on our bed for several days because I was too tired to put them on. In my defense, Garrett didn't volunteer to put them on either.
