Belly and Baby





I have not wanted to post pics of the baby bump because I am at that uncomfortable and unattractive stage of pregnancy. However, on Sunday I broke down and let Shad take some pictures because I would like to be able to look back and see what I looked like! Here are a few pictures of me at 23 weeks and 4 days. My scanner still won't work so until it does I can't post the ultrasound pics :(

Here are some things about being prego with our little man at this stage:

-I have felt really quite good and have been keeping up with Brinley
-No real cravings at this point I just am sure what I don't like (the smell of cilantro I really don't like). Shad loves texas caviar and I had a hard time chopping up the cilantro to put in it.
-A lot of the time nothing really sounds that good unless it is bread sticks or pizza..I ate almost a full bag of Little Cesar's bread sticks the other day :)
-Ice water tastes good all the time
-He moves quite a bit. I have woken up a few times to him moving. I am excited for Brinley to be able to feel him move. She hugs my belly and kisses it all the time.
-I have had braxton hicks quite often throughout the day. Sometimes they are so uncomfortable I can't really do anything until my belly relaxes.
- I look like a walrus running to get the phone when anyone calls.
-I can still fit into most of my regular clothes. I am carrying him higher than Brinley so even though I am showing more I weigh less than I did and fit into more of my non maternity clothes than I did with Brin.

Other than that everything seems to be going well. I am going to try to enjoy the rest of my pregnancy! I will post more as things get closer!!! We are excited to see this little guy!

You look super cute! So don't worry about thinking you don't. Even though every women who has had a baby knows exactly what you are talking about but no one else sees it :)

Wow if only i looked like that I would have it made but instead I look like a fat blimp with a baby bump... I'm carrying her so low that I can feel her move over my bladder sometimes and feel her way down there moving... You are a sexy pregnant momma... Anyway we could make sometime for us to come down and get some baby things if you really want to give them away to me... I appreciate it every little thing helps since I have to start over in a different theme but totally excited too.. i have a brand new bouncer I bought really cheap but its blue for a boy thought I would give it to ya... I have everything basically for a boy but I can't afford to go out and buy all girl things either so I have to use some of it...

You look great!! I wish I carried high like that. There is NO WAY at 23 weeks that I could have still fit into my regular clothes. We're excited for ya!
