23 weeks - chugging along!

Some sites list 23 weeks as the week for viability! I'm not one for just halfway, so I'm not counting that huge milestone until next week. But it feels awesome that for the most part, if something were to happen (knock on the hugest piece of wood imaginable) most doctors would do all the could for him. But no early arrivals until at least late June, got it!

Weight gain - I think around 1lb or so. Maybe 1.5lbs. Since I base my weekly weigh-ins on the day of the week I go to the doctor on, I won't officially weigh myself until Thursday. I think I will have probably gained 2lbs by that time, which is fine by me. I'll be thrilled if I gain 4lbs a month here for a bit. Based on my other two pregnancies, I'm more of a 5-7lb a month girl, which is crazy since I am normally one of those people, when not pregnant, whose weight doesn't fluctuate at all, no matter what I happen to eat. My uterus is measuring right at 23 weeks, so that's perfect. My poor belly button didn't stand a chance this time around and has been poking out for weeks now. For some reason, I feel sort of embarrassed about it because it's almost impossible to hide it under tighter fitting shirts...lol

Movements - Getting stronger all the time. I'm starting to be able to feel little hands and feet sometimes. I also think he's still breech, just judging by his movements. 4D ultrasound in almost exactly 1 month! I can't wait to see his precious little face again.

Irrational fear this week: Again, not much. I've chilled out so much as this pregnancy has progressed. Of course I still sometimes have the "is he really healthy in there?" but at this point there's not much I can do besides just wait and see him at birth. With a normal NT scan with normal bloodwork, and then a normal ultrasound, I just have to trust that it's true and move on. I can't believe in less than 4 months we will have another little baby in the house. :)

I also had my first ever sneeze-that-ends-in-pee experience last night! LOL! You'd think by the 3rd go-around that would be old news, but it had never happened before. Luckily I was at home, so it wasn't much more than an "oops" moment. ;)

Off-topic a bit, but I like to occasionally look at see who is looking at my blog. For the most part it's just random google hits or hits from other bloggers. But 3 times yesterday I got hits from a D.ating site?! It made me slightly nervous since I do randomly post pics of the kids. I'm not sure how my blog turned up on this site, but when I clicked on it, it took me to the sign-up page to make my own profile for the online d.ating. I can't seem to find anything about why I would have popped up via google, but I'm hoping that it was a just one time thing. I mean, obviously I can't care too much about strangers looking at this, since at this point in time I have it open to the public, but I just thought it was strange. I'm much more comfortable with people seeing this after using google to research "expanding belly" or "NT scan results". ;)
