I feel like I had a big growth spurt this week. I'm afraid I'm getting too big too fast, but people are telling me I don't look big. I don't know if they are just trying to be polite though. :) I have noticed that it is getting harder to move around like I use to, especially if I'm sitting on the floor and try to stand. It's all worth it though!
We are making headway on Andrew's room and I couldn't be more excited! Corey painted the first coat yesterday and will hopefully be able to do another one sometime this week if he's not too busy. I built Andrew's dresser, which took me 3.5 hours! I messed up a few times and wanted to cry at least once. Corey had to come to my rescue! I have a wonderful blister on my hand from all the screws and nails. So much fun!
Survey time!
How far along? 23 weeks!
Total weight gain/loss: +14 :(
Symptoms: hungry, more energy, skin worse again, mild constipation, restless legs at night, LOTS of movement, occasional back aches, getting harder to move in "normal" ways!
Maternity clothes? All maternity now except a few tops.
Stretch marks? ::sigh:: I've got the beginnings of an ugly one right under my belly button. It's really stretched out right there so it's only a matter of time.
Sleep: slept great again this week! It's getting harder to get up in the morning though.
Best moment this week: Working on Andrew's room!
Food cravings: Anything sweet has been sounding really good this week. Oh and Salt and Vinegar chips thanks to my brother!
Gender: BOY!!!
Labor signs: not yet
Belly Button - in or out? still in but stretching out and getting shallower and shallower.
What I miss: sleeping on my back
What I am looking forward to: 24 weeks for V-day!
Milestones: continuing to get "stranger" comments!
Before my belly pics here I am on Saturday enjoying the beautiful weather. Notice the wide open bag of S&V chips! Oops :) PS - I REALLY need some color!
In honor of Syracuse winning their first 2 rounds in the NCAA tourney, I'm sporting their gear. I also had to find a new backdrop because Andrew's furniture has taken over our living room.

Hi! Love the new belly pics, so cute!
I have a Medela Pump In Style Advanced and love it. I ended up buying after I was home for a week and Josh would not latch on. My suggestion is to:
1. See how much it is to rent one. At my hospital, it was $70 per month. It cost me $280 to buy one and since my goal is a minimum of 4 months breastfeeding, I knew it made sense to buy it
2. Find out how portable the hospital grade pump is. I now forget which one I would have rented but it wasnt super portable and since I was going back to work (and pumping in my car- I will post on that more so you can hear how fun it is) I wanted something I could just carry around. The PISA is good for that.
