23 weeks! Only 1 week away from Viability!!!!!!!!!!

I took a belly pic this morning, I'll upload it shortly.

How far along:  23 weeks!  I'm so excited to be so close to one of my milestones - V-DAY!  Reaching viability is such a huge relief for me, I'll be so happy once we reach that point and probably will start to relax a bit.

Total weight gain/loss: I weigh 148lbs at home, which is exactly where I was pre-pregnancy.  My goal after this baby is to get back to my pre-marriage weight which was 135lbs.  But I have a while until I can work on that goal!

Sleep:  Seems like I've finally hit the "honeymoon" phase with sleep and don't need as much.  My favorite past time is to lounge around though.

Food cravings:  Anything that my husband has, and LOBSTER TAIL PASTRIES!  I've never had one before, but I'm on a mission to hunt some down.  I've been watching too much Cake Boss on TLC.

Best moment this week: Watching my belly move around while the little gentleman was doing his Pilate's moves.  I almost forgot how amazing it is to feel and watch your unborn child move around.

Most embarrassing moment this week:  I was good this week and didn't embarrass myself.  Yay for me!

Movement:  Consistent.  Just when I start to wonder when I felt him last, he starts doing a little jig in there.  Love him!

Gender:  Still a little gentleman.

Labor signs:  Still chugging the H2O and feeling pretty good.  14 weeks until full term!

Belly Button in or out:  Half popped and peeking through all of my shirts.

What I miss: Being able to make up my mind about something and stick with it.  Pregnancy has made me so wishy-washy.  I'll think I want to cook something for dinner, and then when it's time to do it, change my mind.  Or I'll think I want to go over a family members house, then when it's time to go I don't want to.

What I am looking forward to:  You already know, V-DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!  It's NEXT WEEK!!  Can't wait until my little man reaches viability!  Woo-hoo! 
Milestones:  I've officially started to get the waddle when my bladder is full.  Something about a full bladder and the weight of the baby causes me to have an achy pelvis.  Once I use the restroom, I can resume my normal walk.  But it's so cool to me that I'm waddling!!

Weekly Wisdom:  Enjoy every moment of pregnancy, it goes by so fast!

Symptoms:  Aches and pains, crazy emotions, protruding belly and belly button, etc.

Emotions:  A bit more solid.  I'm starting to relax again.

You're getting close. Yahoo!

That sounded so cliche, so sorry.
