Here's to week 23

Howdy everyone, another week down and 17 or less to go.
We don't have long until Christmas and that will bring us even closer to the baby shower and just around the corner from there will be the arrival of this little baby girl McKenna!

This last week was fun, busy and eventful haha. I sure worked a lot and thankfully didn't over eat. James and I really enjoyed Thanksgiving, really getting to spend time just the two of us. We are limited there so it was nice to relax.

On a not so exciting note, I tripped up my couple stairs (our house is split level) late Friday night and scared the crap out of myself. I bruised my head, chest, elbow, and knee. I fell on my right side but flat out and thankfully for Hooch, his back end broke my fall and kept me from falling right onto my stomach. All is well, Dr was called, McKenna kicked and continues to kick like it was the best ride of her life and wants to do it again. I don't know what my deal is but in October I fell down the stairs and landed on one knee and this time I fell up the stairs. I'm going to drive myself crazy and feel like I want to just quit everything and lay in bed until this baby is born to keep anything else terrible from happening. James said he's going to put me in a bubble like Bubble Boy. UGH He is not very happy with me and my clumsiness.

Now that that's over, here's this weeks update :)

Total weight gain/loss: Ugh so this was fun, my last weigh in brought me to 6lbs total gain. I made it 5 months with a 3 lb total gain and went and gained all 3 in one month. POO but it's not bad at all I'm not really all that worried about it.

Maternity clothes: I've been loving my stretchy shirts and leggings :)

Stretch marks: Nothing new-

Best moment this wk: Constant baby movement!! She's a mover, like her brother! James was finally able to be patient enough to feel her wiggle around for the first time on Thanksgiving. That was exciting. He didn't know what to expect with Wyatt so that took much longer for him to notice movement with him,

Miss anything: Wyatt, but who doesn't

Movement: Absolutely, I'm beyond thankful for all the movement. It keeps me sane

Food cravings: Spicy and crunchy and fruity and cold

Anything making you queasy or sick: Nothing specific.

Symptoms: Sciatica. It's not fun AT ALL and I have it constantly, just some times it's much worse than others.

Have you started to show yet: Yeah- no doubt. I'm showing more and a lot more quickly than with Wyatt

Gender: It's a girl! And her name is McKenna Lee

Labor signs: None at all, good thing!

Belly Button in or out: In

Wedding rings on or off: On

Happy or Moody most of the time: I've had some specific thoughts and words focused at myself the last few days but besides that I'm happy :)

Looking forward to: Next Wednesday- we have an appointment with a specialist and we will get to see everything and be checked for anything that could be going on. I'm thankful to be able to get in with him even this late in the pregnancy. We will be able to see and know so much more than if we had only gone in at 13 weeks. ( appointment was not cleared in time for first trimester screening that's what I mean about so late in pregnancy)
