23 weeks and Up to my ears with clothes

I told you last week that I was overwhelmed by the generosity from my SIL and BFF.  Well, I started putting away the 0-3 month clothing and I have run out of room in the closet and the dresser.  I have gone through 80 hangers!!! (and I still need more!).  It feels so good to make progress on the nursery.  Emar and I still need to decide on the "theme" for the nursery, oh and a name! Ha!  We were gung ho talking about it last month and it kind of fell off the priority list and I say it needs to be back on - stat!


Pregnancy Highlights:

How Far Along: 23weeks 3 days

Size of baby: JMar is the size of an Ear of corn this week, 8.5 inches long and weighs 1.5 pounds!

Weight Gain/Loss:  Up 9lbs total (1st trimester= 1 lb; 2nd trimester = 9 lbs)

Maternity Clothes: YES PLEASE!

Gender: The Chinese Calendar was right- it's a BOY! Still no name.  We really like the B names.  We have it "narrowed" down to about 5. 

Movement:  I am feeling JMar very often now.  I feel like he is more active when I eat or right after and in the morning/evening.  I can't wait for the time when Emar can feel the movement!

Sleep: Been pretty good.  Still waking up every few hours to go pee.  Just getting me ready for nightly feedings:)  I have been waking up in the morning before my alarm goes off- I have never had an internal alarm clock!  Also, I have been waking up on my tummy and I feel horrible.  I told Emar if he wakes up and sees me on my tummy to wake me up to roll over. 

What I miss: my memory

Cravings:  food- I eat all the dang time now- Schlotzkys sandwiches and milk
. 
Symptoms:   peeing, heartburn , 2 s 6 stretch marks on my belly (look like varicose veins)

Best Moment this week: Constantly feeling JMar move in my belly and nursery coming together
