23 Weeks!

This has been such a great week!  Very productive and HAPPY :)

We got the nursery almost completely finsihed and shoudl get the rest done this weekend....yay!  The bedding came in the mail Monday, it is FABULOUS, she is going to be a little diva just like her mama.  On Wednesday we got a crib and a bunch of baby stuff from a family getting rid of them we got a STEAL of a deal, which I love so I feel alot better about being almost ready to welcome her into our world of craziness.

On Monday I found a stray Husky dog, it was so sad he was such a sweetheart and SO dehyrated, had been out in the 100+ degree weather all day.  We gave him water and let him sit in the laundry room to cool off.  No neighbors recognized him and NO one responded to our craigslist ad or fliers.  He fell in love with us and just wanted to come inside but we can't have a big dog.  The shedding alone gives me an anxiety attack.  He spent the night with us and did good but we took him to a local shelter on Tuesday at lunch.  He will make someone a happy dog owner, I hope he gets adopted out fast.  It has been horrible thinking about him not having a home, I hate people who just leave dogs to find their way or hurt them!  I checked on him today and they said he can start being adopted after tomorrow, if anyone is interested in a husky-like breed puppy let me know!

I can't wait for next week, we can show all of you the pictures of Miss Kennedy's fabulous nursery :)

How far along? 23 weeks 

Baby size: Over a foot long, weighing over a pound!

 

Total weight gain/loss:+22ish pounds!  Keeping pace for 1 pound a week...yikes but hoping it stays this way :)
 

Maternity clothes? Yup, they are amazing!

 

Stretch marks? Another new one :(  But  just trying to own them!

 

Sleep: Not too bad, getting used to waking up at least once or twice in the night.  Side sleeping is getting much easier but depending what side I sleep on my legs go numb...gotta hope that doesn't continue!

Best moment this week: SO many great moments, it was a fabulous week!  Getting to meet Miss Reagan was amazing, she is SO perfect.  We got a bunch of baby stuff purchased and it feels so good to be heading down the path to preparedness.

Movement: She is moving around like crazy, it's so weird because it doesn't hurt but its just weird. 

Food cravings: Nope, nothing this week!

 

Miss anything?: My sanity :)

Anything making you queasy or sick: Nope

Have you started to show yet: Oh yeah, I feel in the last 2 weeks she has grown like a weed, very round belly is forming!

 

Gender Predictions: Beautiful Baby GIRL!! 

Symptoms: Ligaments stretching...OUCH.  Crazy emotional hormones, dry scalp, just overall sore but all in all feeling pretty lucky to be as healthy as we both are!

Labor Signs: Nope!

Belly Button in or out? In, but had a dream that it was almost pushed out and woke up freaking, it is TOO early for anywhere near that!

Wedding rings on or off? On but the heat sure doesn't help the swelling!

 

Happy or Moody?: Happy :)  It was a GREAT week.  Obviously I have my ups and downs but overall so many good things happened!  A little sad now, hate that Danny will be gone a few days this week, we haven't been apart in over a year!!

Looking forward to: Finishing the nursery (ALMOST THERE) and the family coming over to help finish it this weekend!!
