23 Weeks

How far along? 22 weeks 6 days, so basically 23 weeks 

Size of baby? The size of a papaya-11 inches, 1 lb

Total weight gain: According to my scale 5-6 lbs but according to the dr's today 11 lbs. I don't like the dr's scale. I'm going to average and say 8.5 lbs ha

Stretch marks? None from this pregnancy

Sleep: Excellent, minus getting woken up so much from Riley the last little bit

Best moment this past week: Last night Riley was really cute. She gives baby sister kisses every night and last night when she did it she kept her lips right there and said "aw baby"-it was adorable!

Miss Anything? Not really anything.

Movement: I feel her a lot. She has been more active which is fun and Tony has been able to feel her more.

Food cravings: Strawberries! I have seriously had SO many the past week

Gender: Baby girl :)

Labor Signs: Nope. When I was doing cardio I'd start getting cramps so I am doing yoga instead of cardio. My dr said today to stick to strength and yoga

Symptoms: None

Belly Button in or out? In

Wedding rings on or off? On.

Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy. I did have a moment on Saturday when Tony left for his second baseball game of the day that I just started crying ha 

Looking forward to: Seeing Riley with her baby sister :)

NOT Looking forward to: My glucose test next month

The last few weeks have been pretty good. I seem to be past the morning sickness and haven't had to take my pills anymore which I've been happy about. I'm still trying to work out every day, some days it gets too late after grocery shopping and dinner or my body just wants me to take it easy. I've been trying to do more yoga and squats to get my body ready for July. 

Riley has been so funny recently. Tiring but funny. I found out Saturday that she has a molar that's half way in, which may explain why she's had such a rough time sleeping recently. She was taking over an hour to go to sleep and she'd freak out anytime Tony and I would try to leave the side of the bed. She'd just lay in bed wide awake. I finally got to the point that I couldn't do it anymore and became the mean mom that just let her cry as much as she wanted until she fell asleep. A couple nights that meant she'd fall asleep in front of the door and Tony would put her in her bed before we went to sleep. She did good this weekend, then Sunday night hit and she woke up at 3:30 and wouldn't go to sleep. I ended up in the guest bed with her because I needed my sleep and it took her another who knows how long for her to fall asleep, and it definitely wasn't restful for either of us. Last night she was SO worn out after spending the afternoon at the pool with Aunt Toni that she wouldn't even move to get her water that was 3 feet away. I thought she'd go to sleep SO easy and it took my letting her cry and Tony laying with her for awhile to get her to sleep. Then he got up with her twice last night and ended up in the other room with her. It's getting ridiculous. I can't keep doing it

I sure do love watching Riley learn and grow. She picks up on so much and her vocabulary really is expanding! It's so cute seeing her figure something out and be so proud of herself. She has taken to growling at things when she's unhappy. The funniest two have been Tony put the chips away and she said "rrr Tony" and then the next morning she asked me where daddy was and I told her at baseball "rrr baseball" haha. She's also calling Tony by his name instead of Daddy. It is so cute that I can't help laughing but I know Tony wants her to call him Daddy. I love their relationship :)
