How Far Along: 23 weeks and 4 days
Weekly Fruit Comparison: A papaya (Since the fruit won't change for another week, here are the approximate measurements: Just over a pound and around 11.5 inches)
The Good: I'm feeling really, really great. I have lots of energy and am taking advantage of that while I can.
The Bad: I've had a tiny bit of lower back pain, which usually occurs after I've been on my feet for a long time. It's a good reminder to slow down after my energy bursts!
The Weird: A pregnant belly attracts a lot of attention. I catch random strangers staring and smiling and it's almost like we're all sharing this big secret. Luckily I haven't had any of those strangers touch my belly because that will freak me out. I don't mind people I know doing it, but strangers are another story. Personal space, people!
Best Pregnancy Moment: I finally got to show off the baby bump to my in-laws this weekend. We haven't seen them since Easter when I could still fit into my pre-pregnancy jeans so I looked quite different! They do follow along on my blog but it's totally different when you see the bump in person. Everyone got to feel baby girl kick too. Hooray :)
The Weekly Belly Bump: It doesn't seem to have changed much which is okay by me after that huge pop last week! It's still so cool to me to feel her move. She was really kicking on Monday and all my girlfriends at work got to feel her. She's guaranteed to move after I eat or if I lay on my side. I guess she likes to eat and likes when Mama sleeps!
