Week 23

  No comments    
You know that scene in Knocked Up where Seth Rogan is yelling at Katherine Heigel's hormones? That's how my week is going.  I've been very emotional, sensitive, and on edge recently.  I'm quick to yell, cry, or do both at the same time.  When it happens I know I'm being irrational, but (Mike stop reading now) I would never dare to admit that in the moment and it makes me feel even crazier because I can't stop this crazy train.  I can't pinpoint what makes me upset,  and it's frustrating that I can't control my reactions or emotions - it feels overwhelming and honestly a little lonely.  I know this will pass, as all moods of pregnancy do, but I'm ready to feel like me again. 


How far along? 23 weeks
Maternity clothes? You know it. 
Stretch marks? No. 
Sleep: I alternate between a full night of deep sleep or I'm up all night worrying about literally everything.  
Best moment(s) this week: Celebrating Easter -- Harrison totally got the concept of Easter Egg Hunts (he even found the golden egg) and the Easter Bunny, which made the holiday more exciting than ever.  I can't wait to dress both of my babes up next year and celebrate as a family of four.  
Miss Anything? Not feeling like an insane person...
Movement: I feel like she was less active this week, but I was also super busy, so I probably rocked her to sleep more often by running around all week.  I also feel like she is super low.  According to my blogs with Harrison, he was kicking me in the ribs by this point, but home girl is snuggled up down low.  
Food cravings: All of the desserts. 
Anything making you queasy or sick: Thankfully no.
Gender: Girl
Labor Signs: Nope-- she still needs time to bake! 
Symptoms: Moodiness, pregnancy brain, back pain, and nesting are all in full force.  
Belly Button in or out? Hanging in there -- no pun intended. 
Wedding rings on or off? On
Happy or Moody most of the time: Overall moody.
Looking forward to: Getting out of this funk.  Maybe I'll pour half a glass of wine and indulge in some Scandal to put some pep back in my step.
