Weeks Pregnant {23 weeks 5 days}
Due
Date:
June
22nd, 2013
Boy
or girl:
Girl!
Bump
Picture:
Here I go again... My son keeps refusing to
be photographer, so stairway pregnancy picture it is again.
Baby Development:
Her face is fully formed now; she just needs a little extra fat to fill it
out. Blood vessels in her lungs are developing to
prepare for breathing, and her increasingly keen ears are picking up all of
the loud noises in my household… she should be fully prepared for her brothers
once she arrives {here is to hoping}!
Symptoms:
Moving more slowly and my waddle is becoming more
pronounced. I am having a more difficult time putting on my shoes, but that is
to be expected as this bundle of joy continues to grow. My belly is having some growing pains as it expands to make room for a growing child. I can still see my feet
though!
Currently
craving:
Peace and quiet… hahahaha! I am not really hungry for anything in particular
this week.
Currently
Avoiding:
Nothing.
Belly
button status:

Rolling and kicking and stomping.

Julia
Any

I have a checkup in about two weeks.
Any
baby related purchases?:
Nothing
this week.
Other:
My boys say hello to my belly now. They will
give their baby sister a hug or a kiss and say hello to her. It is adorable. My
oldest son did not really “get it” when I was pregnant with his little brother,
but he totally gets it now and is very happy about it.
Did your other children talk to your pregnant
belly?
