The Stay At Home Zookeeper: 23 Weeks

How far along? 23 weeks

Total Weight Gain: 12 lbs at the appointment, 3 weeks ago now

Maternity Clothes? yes

Stretch Marks? no

Sleep: been actually sleeping really well. It is slowly getting tougher to roll and get comfortable. It is my back that bothers me the most.

Best Moment this Week: We had an amazing week. We really enjoyed our small vacation together. Friday, we left for Door County. We did some shopping and stayed the night. We found a nice little hotel that had a fire place to sit by. It was wonderful to spend the time together, talking exploring, and seeing Nolan move for the first time. Saturday we went exploring more in Door County and through the state park. We visited an old light house, visited a nature preserve, climbed the 75 foot tower, and ate some delicious custard. Saturday night, we went out to Half Empty with some friends. Not going to lie, it is kinda fun getting carded when you are almost 27 and 6 months pregnant! Sunday was Easter in which we enjoyed the time our families. Monday finished painting the nursery, and then we went to a Brewer game. It really was an amazing week, we enjoyed so very many moments that we will truly have for a long time.

Miss Anything? wine tasting....that was hard not to be able to do on our trip!

Movement: lots! We have now seen it, it is getting regular and stronger, AND he had the hiccups! It was crazy that it really felt like hiccups and if kinda felt bad for him, like you would for anybody stuck with the hiccups!

Food Craving? none really

Anything making you queasy or sick? phlegm still bad.

Bellybutton in or out? starting to poke out, but not inside out yet.

Wedding Rings on or off? still on

Happy or Moody most of the time? Very happy this week! We enjoyed so many moments! I was sad when Alex went back to work on Tuesday because the amazing week is over.

Looking forward to: This whole pregnancy to continue to go so well. I cannot wait to enjoy the next weeks feeling our son and knowing he is getting stronger and growing bigger.

This is the first photo with the hands on the belly. It is crazy how much baby and I are growing. It is the most happy I have ever been with extra weight and inches! I love it!
