Little junior miss is 23 weeks

How little junior miss is growing: From babycenter.com:
Turn on the radio and sway to the music. With her sense of movement well developed by now, your baby can feel you dance. And now that she's more than 11 inches long and weighs just over a pound (about as much as a large mango), you may be able to see her squirm underneath your clothes. Blood vessels in her lungs are developing to prepare for breathing, and the sounds that your baby's increasingly keen ears pick up are preparing her for entry into the outside world. Loud noises that become familiar now — such as your dog barking or the roar of the vacuum cleaner — probably won't faze her when she hears them outside the womb.

Oh! I feel like our little girl is just growing way to fast! As big as a mango, I'm a proud momma! And I've tried the dancing thing.... nothing yet. Maybe our baby is already embarrassed by my dance moves and won't move in fear I'll keep dancing.


Here I am at 23 weeks: I feel like my stomach has doubled in size this last week. I've gained about 5 lbs in just a week, hopefully that's the baby growing not me.
How I'm feeling: I've been feeling good. Still get sick about 2 times a week, but nothing like a couples months ago. I can't eat toast especially in the mornings, I have no idea why. I still get really tired and for some reason my monday and wednesdays are the worst. Maybe cause Kay and I sit by this water fall thing when we study after class and; it pretty much knocks me out. This last week I haven't felt the baby move as much but I do every once in a while. I'm excited for when Kay can feel it outside the belly. Our friends gave us some super cute clothes, which made me really excited and makes it feel more real. One of the things they gave us was 2 little socks one white that says Jordan on it and the other is pink with the Jordan sign on it, they are way awesome! Our little girl is going to be ballin'! : )

McKay is doing great! Still getting a lot of pregnancy symptoms right along with me. Except for the growing belly. I don't think that's in McKay's future, even if he tried. He still laughs at me sometimes when he see me. He's still trying to get used to the belly thing. I too laugh when I see a reflection of my belly, but mine is more of a scared/exciting laugh, where as McKay's is a crazy is this happening/excited laugh. Either way we are both both doing good and well laughing.
Here's McKay getting ready to go job shadow! He's so cute! Love ya sweety

  2. You really are showing now, but still little! I remember Jorden always laughing when he saw my belly too. Then he would say, "You've got to be pushing out, you're not that big!" haha, no I wasn't pushing out!
    Have fun job shadowing Kay!

  5. Lindsey, Thanks! I did get pretty sick during my first trimester. But I am feeling a lot better now. I am so glad to be done with that part. The 2nd trimester has been a lot of fun. Especially now that we are starting to feel bigger movements from her.
