According to the stages of pregnancy on pregnantchicken, this stage lasts approximately 27 minutes. However, I've been feeling great for about the past week. Not going to take this time for granted, that's for sure!!
And I'm really thankful to be feeling good at this particular time of year!
Korey and I got together with my sister the other night to take our very first "family" picture to put in our Christmas cards! It was a lot of fun, and we ended up with some pretty good shots! here's my favorite at the moment:
I think this is probably the one we will actually put in our cards.
I have been feeling pretty GIGANTIC lately. Between my doctor saying that I'm gaining weight a little too fast, and a probably well-intentioned but still a little hurtful comment from my step-father-in-law's mom on Thanksgiving (that's a mouthful!), I've just felt like maybe I look like I'm further along than I actually am (my sister-in-law is also pregnant and about 6 weeks further along than I am, and she commented that I look bigger than she does, which is probably true, but still isn't awesome to hear). Plus it's just tough to watch your body grow and grow, even when it is for the best reason! And I am not a big fan of watching the number on the scale go UP. I've really been trying to watch what I eat a lot lately (even though all I crave are cheeseburgers and coke!!), and I even got my butt over to the gym last night and spent 40 minutes walking on the treadmill! I've only gained about a pound or two since my last appointment, which is GREAT and I'm really proud of myself. Hopefully I can keep the weight gain to a minimum before my next appointment which is in about 2 weeks.
AND today, one of my co-workers asked me how far along I was, and when I told her I was 23 weeks, she said, "Oh, but you are still so little!" Even if she was just saying that, it totally made my day!!
