How far along? 23 weeks!
Due Date: January 6, 2012
Due Date: January 6, 2012
Total weight gain/loss: I've lost a little bit this week, so somewhere between 7 and 8 lbs gained so far.
Maternity clothes? Yes sir! This little mama is expanding pretty quickly.
Sleep: Twice now I have been awakened by kicks that were strong enough that I had to get up and pee right away! There is definitely a strong little boy in there, and it's getting harder for me to sleep through the night.
Best moment this week: Justin was able to feel a kick from the outside for the first time! That's a few weeks earlier than he was able to feel Colin the first time around. Pretty exciting! Also, just this morning I was able to see my belly move when Reid kicked (or punched?) especially hard.
Movement: As my uterus rises higher, and my little boy gets bigger and stronger, I am feeling movement all over the place. I love feeling him wiggle in there!
Food cravings: Anything pumpkin.. all the flavors of autumn. I am so ready for Thanksgiving it isn't even funny! I found some pumpkin spice Eggo waffles at the grocery store yesterday and I can't wait to try them!
Food aversions: Still red meat. I'll eat a hamburger, but it doesn't hit the spot like it used to.
Gender: It's a boy! Reid William Vaughan.
Labor Signs: None.
Belly Button in or out? In.
What I miss: Having the energy to keep up with Colin. Yesterday he had a complete meltdown in Olive Garden, and hubby wasn't there with me. I had a really hard time getting the situation under control, and wore myself out carrying him around when he refused to walk.
What I am looking forward to: My parents are coming down for a visit the week of the 17th. I can't wait to see them!
Milestones: This has been a week of milestones for both of my babies. First of all, we chose this weekend to try and wean Colin from the paci. It has mostly been a successful venture, but today we had a huge fail at nap time. More on that later.
