23 Weeks with Rebekah Jo!

How far along? 23 weeks!

Baby's size?  Papaya (8 inches, 1.2 pound) 

Gender? It's a baby girl! Rebekah Jo!

Maternity clothes? I've mainly been wearing my maternity clothes lately, just to look a little nicer... But I can still rock the regular athletic shorts, tank tops, and some dresses.

Weight Gain? Will have a new number next Tuesday... Not quite sure I'm looking forward to that one, I definitely feel like Rebekah has gone through a growth spurt!

Stretch marks? Not quite sure if I have new ones or not...

Belly button in or out? In, but getting flatter and flatter

Sleeping? Ok... Not the greatest, but not the worst!

Foods I'm loving? For some reason, hot dogs/sausage with lots of mustard and relish! The beginning I detested the thought of hot dogs, but for some reason they taste so good now!

Foods I'm hating? Nothing really!

Best moment this week? We got to go to the Riddle Family Reunion over the weekend. Lots of fun seeing family!

Movement? Starting to feel her a bit more throughout the day! But nothing really strong enough for Alan to feel yet... That darn anterior placenta...

What I'm looking forward to? We are transforming the guest room to the nursery this weekend! I think we'll leave the crib as a bed for the time being, but at least I'll be able to set everything else up!

What I'm missing? Sleep

Symptoms? Frequent potty breaks, exhaustion, food cravings/aversions

Milestones? Next week is viability!!

Emotions? Pretty good this week!

22 Weeks with Baby #3

How far along? 22 weeks and 1 day!

Baby's size?  Spaghetti Squash (8 inches, 1 pound) 

Gender? It's a baby girl! Rebekah Jo!

Maternity clothes? I've mainly been wearing my maternity clothes lately, just to look a little nicer... But I can still rock the regular athletic shorts, tank tops, and some dresses.

Weight Gain? As of two weeks ago, up 6 lbs. Not weighing until I go back in two weeks, although I think Rebekah had a growth spurt last week. I was starving all day long for 2-3 days and then went back to normal... 

Stretch marks? Not quite sure if I have new ones or not...

Belly button in or out? In, but getting flatter and flatter

Sleeping? Ok... Not the greatest, but not the worst!

Foods I'm loving? Anything with beef! Current favorites are burgers, steak, grilled/roasted veggies, and corn on the cob with butter and lemon pepper! Chinese food is also a huge favorite!! Lettuce wraps from Pei Wei are delicious!!!

Foods I'm hating? Nothing really!

Best moment this week? Getting to see Alan after being away for almost a week. 

Movement? Yes, I for sure feel her nightly while I'm trying to go to sleep. I found out I have anterior placenta, which means I probably won't feel her as much as I felt the other kiddos. Definitely makes me feel more relieved to know she's ok, though!

What I'm looking forward to? Alan is going to finish painting the trim in the nursery this week and then we'll hopefully start converting it from the guest room to the nursery!

What I'm missing? Not too much at this point!

Symptoms? Frequent potty breaks, exhaustion, food cravings/aversions

Milestones? We're over halfway there! Viability is in 2 weeks!

Emotions? Pretty good this week!

20 Weeks Pregnant with Rebekah Jo

How far along? 20 weeks and 1 day!

Baby's size?  Mango (6.5 inches, 10 ounces) But at my appointment last Friday, she was measuring at 11 ounces!

Gender? It's a baby girl! Rebekah Jo!

Maternity clothes? I've mainly been wearing my maternity clothes lately, just to look a little nicer... But I can still rock the regular athletic shorts, tank tops, and some dresses.

Weight Gain? I'm adding this back in for now, but I'm not weighing in weekly. So far I'm up 6 lbs, but my doctor said not to be shocked if I gain 6-12 pounds in the next 4 weeks. I sure hope not!!!
Stretch marks? No new ones yet. 

Belly button in or out? In

Sleeping? I've been sleeping pretty good lately! ::knock on wood::

Foods I'm loving? Anything with beef! Current favorites are burgers, steak, grilled/roasted veggies, and corn on the cob with butter and lemon pepper! Chinese food is also a huge favorite!! Lettuce wraps from Pei Wei are delicious!!!

Foods I'm hating? Nothing really!

Best moment this week? Getting two ultrasounds on two different days! Plus celebrating my birthday and getting sweet Elizabeth back from Gammie and Pop's house!

Movement? Yes, I for sure feel her nightly while I'm trying to go to sleep. I found out I have anterior placenta, which means I probably won't feel her as much as I felt the other kiddos. Definitely makes me feel more relieved to know she's ok, though!

What I'm looking forward to? Alan is going to paint the nursery next week while the kids and I are visiting my MeMaw! He's also going to refinish the built-in desk in Rebekah's room, which we're going to use as her changing table! And I'm definitely looking forward to spending lots of time in my parent's pool! Hopefully I'll come home with a bit of a tan!

What I'm missing? Not too much at this point!

Symptoms? Frequent potty breaks, exhaustion, food cravings/aversions

Milestones? We're halfway there! Although, if I'm lucky, I only have about 18 weeks to go. It's going so fast! Also, 4 weeks until viability! Can't believe that's almost here!

Emotions? Pretty good this week!
