23 weeks...

23 weeks. And ready for this pregnancy to be OVER with!

How far along?23 weeks! over the hump!
Total weight gain/loss: about 8-9 lbs.
Maternity clothes?maternity jeans...few maternity tops.
Stretch marks?just the few from when i had grace are kind of showing. =/
Sleep: I jinxed myself. Its aweful. I wake up every few hours soo uncomfortable.
Best moment this week: appt on monday where we went over the 20 week u/s and everything looks perfect =)
Movement: All day everyday. This little guy apparently doesn't like sleep. He's torturing me!
Food cravings: Tacos from the taco truck. no joke.
Anything making you queasy or sick: Depends on the day I am having. But lately nothing!
Have you started to show yet:Oh definitely!
Leakage:a little bit
Gender: It's a boy!!
Labor Signs: nope. Just braxton hicks. ALL.OF.THE.TIME. Annoying.
Belly Button in or out? in
Wedding rings on or off? off =( im sad about this and debating on getting it sized for the next few months haha
Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy!
Weekly Wisdom: Heat is pregnancies worst enemy!
Milestones:We are now at the "viable" stage.




These past few weeks have been a challenge. Not even going to lie, without sounding completely selfish...ok, maybe a little...I am DONE being pregnant. So.So.So done. TMI rant coming on...
I literally can barely walk anymore, I feel like my lady bits are going to fall off, I cant even remember the last time I endured so much pain. Especially when walking or getting up. Apparently this is normal? normal?! seriously?! I did not sign up for these shenanigans! no sir! But im sure in the end I will be reminded that this was ALLL so so worth it! I know it. But have no fear, I will not forget...which is why I am getting my tubes tied after this baby. I am 1000% sure I am done, and I know that for a fact, I do not ever want to be pregnant again. EVER. I am so glad Grace was my perfect pregnancy. Because I probably would have gotten a complete hysterectomy after her if that pregnancy was anything like this one. HAHA.
I really don't want to sound like a selfish B word. And I hope this is not how it comes across. Because I am so thankful I have this little baby and I am so fortunate that is is a healthy pregnancy. So So fortunate.

  1. Hey Nicole. I saw that you've started following my blog and wanted to pop over and say hi!
    Congrats on your second pregnancy. I'm quite a few weeks behind you (16 weeks), but we seem similar so far. My first pregnancy was a breeze.. not so much this time. We are done after this babe as well. 100% positive! You're allowed to sound selfish. You're giving up your body for AT LEAST 9 months!
