23 Weeks

I find it hard to believe that we're already at 23 weeks in this pregnancy! (Of course not until Thursday, officially, but whatever) I'm feeling pretty great, I have a lot more energy than I did the first few months, which has been really nice for me and Jerod. I feel like we actually get to spend time together now, instead of me passing out right after dinner and basically only spending time with each other on the weekends.





The last few weeks since our ultrasound have been especially nice because I have felt the baby move more and more each day. You can even feel little kicks by touching my belly, but every time I get Jerod's hand in the right spot the little stinker stops kicking! And I have had this feeling the whole pregnancy that we're having a girl, I've had at least three dreams that confirmed this suspicion, and then last weekend I had a dream the baby was born a boy- so now this kid is really throwing us off. First, hiding their cute little face during the ultrasound, then not kicking for their Daddy, and now with the indecisive dreams- our baby will always keep us guessing I suppose.





Here is a belly pic for the 23 week milestone, I've been getting several requests for another. Please forgive the scrubby clothes and my wacky hair, we had been doing work on the basement with my parents and then cleaning the house from a weekend of visitors. I'll have to post progressive pictures of our basement remodel- we (and by 'we' I mean my dad) got SO much done this weekend and it really looks awesome so far!

My belly looks a little smaller in this pic than my last belly pic post, I think it was the camera angle on the 17 week picture that made me look ginormous. However, I am now feeling bigger than ever- I'm not sure how I can feel even more huge, but somehow I know it will happen :)
