23 weeks!

Weekly check-in:


How far along?: 23w3d
How big is baby: The size of a papaya (same as last week?!)
Weight gain/loss: +1 lb
Pregnancy symptoms: Weight gain, growing belly, mild sciatica
Maternity clothes: I am wearing more babydoll tops at work and more and more people are noticing my ever growing belly. I alternate wearing my 2 maternity work pants and regular pants with Belly Band at work. My mom has sent me some maternity clothes which I'll hopefully get by Saturday! Yay! On weekends, I still wear my regular clothes but for bottoms, I have to have my belly band.
Stretch Marks: None (knock on wood)
Sleep: I am getting ~7 hrs of sleep so I can't complain
Best moment this week: People at work (outside my department) are finally noticing my belly. It's nice to be able to share the news with everybody.
Movement: Not a lot of kicking but I definitely feel a lot of movements. She still responds with a kick when Daddy Jarbs talks to her
Food cravings: still pancake, caffeine free diet rootbeer
Food aversions: none in particular
Labor signs: None and hopefully not until October
Belly button in or out: Still in but just waiting for the day it officially pops out.
What I miss: Medium rare steak!
What I am looking forward to: Working on Baby Jarbs' nursery
Milestones:

Baby's skin is becoming more opaque as the fat starts to pack on. And, thanks to the formation of small capillaries, her newly thick skin is taking on a fresh pink glow.
