23 weeks

how far along? 23 weeks

how big is baby? the size of a grapefruit

weight gain/loss? +9ish pounds

stretch marks? none

maternity clothes? all maternity pants, and a mix of maternity and non-maternity tops

sleep? no complaints here

food cravings? Subway sandwiches (specifically the BMT)

symptoms? my tailbone is still a bit sore, and my hips are usually numb in the morning from sleeping on my side

signs of labor? none

sex of baby? girl

movement? still feeling gentle thumps and twitches, usually after I eat or drink

belly button? getting more shallow...

what I'm worrying about: planning the nursery; we have a glider/ottoman, dresser, and rug, now just need to finalize a crib and pick a wall color. I'm anxious to see what all of these elements look like together.

what I'm loving: John bonding with the baby - he has started talking to my tummy every night, and is always willing to help rub some cocoa butter on it as well

best moment this week? celebrating our first anniversary! John surprised me with a prenatal massage on Sunday, and then sent me flowers at work on Monday. That night we went to dinner at what is widely considered to be the best restaurant in Minneapolis-St. Paul, La Belle Vie, and it was simply divine.
