Someone turn up the AC

Holy Moly is it hot out there. Yesterday was 98 degrees outside. The heat isn't the worst part; it's the humidity. I'm ready to move to Canada for the summer. :)

How far along? 23 weeks

Total weight gain: 6 pounds (back from my puking days) + 3 more vacation pounds. woohoo!

Symptoms: Headaches

Stretch marks: Yep - and they stink too.

Sleep: Trying to stay on my left side but wake up on my back. Looking into body pillows. Get ready for me to take over the whole bed.

Food cravings: Nothing crazy this week except for bread. Love me some carbos.

Maternity clothes: Mix and match for the most part.

Best moment of the week: Eating a donut that made the baby dance around. It was like a dance party in there.

Movement: Yes

Gender: Waiting for December (still thinking boy)

Labor Signs: None

Belly Button: in (but shallow)

What I miss: Beer. always beer. Oh, and running.

What I am looking forward to: More movement - just makes me feel better knowing the bean is moving around in there.

Time files when you are having fun

Vacation was amazing. I need to work on editing some pics and get them posted on my other blog and on here. The weather was awesome - 70 and cool on most days. We came back to muggy, humid weather. I keep imagining the cottage near the water in Canada when I was wearing jeans and a sweater - instead of just sweating and running for air conditioning now. Here's the weekly update.

How far along? 22 weeks

Total weight gain: 6 pounds (and maybe a few more but not claiming it due to vacation lbs.)

Symptoms: headaches from heat mostly

Stretch marks: yep - on my side :(

Sleep: Yes - including the 2 nights in separate queen sized beds at the Hilton in St. John where I slept in the middle of my own bed. Best. night. sleep. ever!

Food cravings: Apples - but they had to be Granny Smith. And I finally got my cotton candy as well. Ate almost the whole bag in 2.5 seconds and then got a tummy ache.

Maternity clothes: I wore some in Canada but can still mix and match for the most part.

Best moment of the week: Drinking a regular coffee and feeling what I like to think was movement from the bean.

Movement: Maybe

Gender: Waiting for December

Labor Signs: None

Belly Button: in (but shallow)

What I miss: beer. still. And I think I always will. Yep - sticking with my answer.

What I am looking forward to: Hearing the heartbeat tomorrow at my scheduled OB visit. Still makes my heart melt to hear that little thump.
