Joaquin is 23 weeks today and still about the size of a papaya. On average, babies at 23 weeks are approximately 1 pound and 1 ounce. Joaquin is usually meausuring a little bigger than average, so I'd guess he's about 1 pound and 4 or 5 ounces.
How far along? 23 weeks
Weight gain/loss: I would guess I'm up 19-20 pounds. I will find out this afternoon.
Sleep? I'm having more trouble sleeping now, as I have to be on my side. Unfortunately, sleeping on my side hurts my shoulders so I am constantly waking up and switching sides to keep from getting sore. It is not easy to switch sides with a body pillow.
Best moment this week? We got our car seat and cloth diapers yesterday. It was pretty neat to imagine little Joaquin sitting in the car seat and see just how small those diapers are. Very cute.
Movement: The kicks keep getting stronger and sometimes my belly even moves. He is really stubborn though because every time Jay tries to feel him kicking he stops moving.
Food cravings: Smoked gouda.
Belly button in or out? Out, and now visible even with a shirt.
What I miss? Walking up stairs easily.
What I am looking forward to? Only about 2 more weeks until our 5 year wedding anniversary!
Milestones: I guess having my belly button pop out. I was hoping it would be a little later before that happened!
What I'm nervous about: How we are going to fit all of this baby stuff in our place.
