23 weeks

Today : 23 weeks 5 days

Weight Gain : 10 lbs ... in the morning, before breakfast ... and clothes. Who knows what the scale might say after a donut or two though...

Maternity Clothes : My normal shirts can still stretch over my belly but, holy guacamole no way am I fitting into my skinny jeans anymore. Why am I not one of those blessed women who starts to grow a basketball under my shirt and nothing else? My hips and butt may never, ever be the same.

Cash is tired of hearing about my pregnancy butt.

Stretch marks : Nope

Sleep : Not as easy as it used to be! It has definitely helped to have the cooler weather at night though, I love the cool, crisp air of fall. 

Sickness : Nope

Movement : Yep. Strongest kick yet happened this week following a bowl of ice cream.. Aaron saw it from the other side of the couch. I have a feeling that Samson's going to be one strong little boy!

Cravings : My doctor was totally cool with my obsession with Dr. Pepper, so that's awesome. No crazy urges this week, but I've partaken in iced coffee from Starbucks and Dunkin Donuts.  We also tried a new recipe for Browned Butter Snickerdoodles.  Side note: if you aren't browning your butter before you bake, you are missing out. I learned this trick the year we got married. It changes everything and is totally worth your time. 

Black coffee with pumpkin spice syrup from Starbucks. And Camo. Hello Fall!

Exciting happenings : Everything is measuring right on track and looking good according to my doctor.   My mom and I tried out some gliders at a local furniture store and then Aaron & I tried out a few more at Babies R Us a few days later. Still haven't picked one... it seems like such a big decision! Super crazy to imagine rocking our baby in one of them in a few months.
