23 Week Bump Date

(I've been a terrible blogger lately!! These post are started and I'm so tired some time to even sit here and type. I Apologize to everyone of y'all for the late post, but this pregnancy has me pretty tired.)

How far along? 23 weeks 

Total weight gain: I have gained a total of 10 lbs. so far (I wasn't back to my pre-pregnancy weight after Isabella so it feels like the weight it gaining fast) 

Maternity clothes? Still rocking my yoga pants and maternity everything!! 

Stretch marks? Just the same ones on my left and right hip, and a few on my left thigh, and of course the usual ones from before. I have been rubbing Cocoa Butter on each night. 

Sleep: Sleep has been good so far. My back has been aching when sleeping so when I wake up I am in pain. I think it's time to invest in a big maternity pillow. I'm in need of some comfort on my back. 

Best moment this week: Shopping for Caleb and buying him so new clothes. I also love feeling his kicks and movements each and every time. 

Miss Anything? Not really! 

Movement: He is moving tons and tons!! It's such a awesome feeling. :)

Food cravings: Dairy Queen strawberry sundae, Watermelon, Pineapple, Hash browns. 

Anything making you queasy or sick: Nausea is gone for now!! (At least I hope it's gone for good) 

Gender: IT'S A BOY!!

Labor Signs:  No labor signs for a long while

Symptoms: My back has been killing me as well as my feet starting to swell very little when I walk too much! 
 Belly Button in or out?  It's officially an outtie

 Engagement Ring on or off?  It's still on!

Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy!! It's getting closer to Caleb arriving and we are so excited to meet our little guy. 

Looking forward to:

Hoping to be making some crafts and doing some more sewing soon. Ryan and I plan on sewing some more blankets, pillows, burp cloths, and other items. We just need to go out and buy the fabric and patterns to get started. I'm also looking forward to clothes and other baby items for Caleb. I'm also looking forward to Ryan putting up his crib and taking Caleb's dresser to his moms as well. 

Thoughts: 

I have so many emotions. I'm still grieving over the loss of Isabella and at times I get emotional and scared. I just hope and pray that everything goes perfectly fine with this pregnancy and Caleb arrives safely in our arms. It's been hard lately as we are getting closer to Halloween. Isabella should have had her first Halloween with us, but instead she is in Heaven with her Great- Great Grandpa Cuellar who is spoiling her already.
