How far along: 23 weeks
Baby Size: grapefruit
Weight: 135.4, only up a quarter pound this week. I ate much better this week. I am home a lot so snacking when I was bored was part of the problem. I cut back on that and tried to eat less junk. I know it's okay to gain weight, but 2lbs a week for the last few weeks seemed like a bit much.
Symptoms:
Sleep: I had a few 2 hour stretches this week, but it's never enough.
Cravings/Food Aversions: Chocolate (especially peanut butter cups), donuts. My facebook followers saw this pic, but Friday Rob called on his way home and asked if I needed anything. I told him if he stopped somewhere peanut butte cups sounded good, but not to make a special trip. He came home with this. I was a happy pregnant wife. :)
Belly Button: In
Rings on or off: On
Gender: Girl
Name: Eleanor Rose
Movement: I felt her from the outside for the first time over the weekend. I've been trying to get Rob to feel her, but when I move so he can, she stops. Fickle girl.
Stretch Marks: Not yet. Rob keeps asking me if I've been putting something on my belly. When I remember lotion after a shower I will, but otherwise no.
Best moment: Not baby related, but getting a source of income again! I now have 2 part time jobs this summer totaling about 28 hours.
Looking forward to: Viability, baby showers, meeting her
What I miss: Bending forward, twisting at the waist.
Labor signs: I didn't notice any braxton hicks this week.
Appointments: Next week is my 24 week appt and the GD test.
Misc. Rob cracks me up. I think he's proud of my growing belly. Sometimes he'll look at me and be like "Wow, your really starting to show"

Symptoms:
- Hungry.all.the.time
- Nauseous again. That one started over the weekend.
- It's getting difficult to get up from sitting down. I kind of have to do this whole roll thing to get momentum. I'm not huge, but it's starting to be uncomfortable.

I think you really popped this week! Looking adorable. And your cravings sound so familiar to mine. Except mine never went away. I just bought peanut butter cups yesterday. Haha.
