23 weeks 2 days

Hello! So, I am feeling really well! I have quite an appetite these days. I want sweets like crazy. So I "accidentally" ate...a lot of peeps. They are addicting. I ate around 13. Oops. But in all honesty, this was over a period of 2 days, and I honestly don't eat sweets, so instead of having tons of ice cream and chocolate everyday, I had some peeps and most likely won't have dessert for another few weeks. I can't feel TOOOO guilty, right? I have been using fruit to keep my cravings at bay.

Juliette has been moving a lot, but mostly at night. In fact I woke up the other night to her having hiccups! Ned finally felt her. He looked at me, asked, "Was that her?" and immediately took his hand away. lol It was a funny reaction. It still sometimes takes my breath away.  I started getting braxton hicks and realized they were happening mostly at night. So instead of stopping my water around 8 PM, so as not to be up all night going to the bathroom, I don't stop, and just wake up more often. So, um, that's not very fun! I have also been having some migraines, and along with the headaches, I am light sensitive now and when looking at lights, I sometimes see stars. I got that checked out and it is just "migraine activity." So thankfully all is well. Besides some aches and pains though, I have been feeling very good. I do get tired more often and definitely after doing something like standing around a lot, I start feeling sore. But that's to be expected.


I have gained 14 pounds. My doctor is great with that, and so am I. I am mean, I am not eating tons of unhealthy things. I am still watching what I eat and not snacking too much. So besides those 13 peeps, it really is all baby. I mean my body is finally doing something healthy and I am dang proud of it. So, I really can't complain!

We have been busy with the nursery and just getting ready. We registered and picked out everything. The crib came yesterday and is looking great! Ned painted the room and now we just need to do the details. My showers are in the next few months and I am getting crazy excited about them!

All in all I am doing great. I do tend to get in more bad moods than normal. Simple things just tend to set me off. I usually have to breath and tell myself to snap out of it, but I can definitely tell that my hormones have a life of their own! Poor Ned:)
