Maddox {23 Weeks}

How far along? 23 Weeks    Jacoby 23 Weeks

Total weight gain: 6-7lbs. My scale is still broken, so I'm guessing :) 
Maternity clothes? Yes! Still a few things non-maternity that I can wear though!
Stretch marks? No...hopefully keeping it that way. Lotion + oil are my friends. They got me through my pregnancy with Jacoby with no stretch marks, so I'd be happy if the same happened with Maddox. 
Sleep: Sleep has been a little rough. I felt like I needed to invest in a pregnancy pillow, so I bought the Snoogle.  I have heard lots of good reviews, but I got it home and didn't lay with it for longer than 5 minutes.  It was too big, too bulky, and I HATED feeling so far away from Nate. I returned it and bought 2 $4 pillows, one for between my legs + then another for later on when I need more back support. I prefer that over the $60!!!!! pregnancy pillow. 

Also, Jacoby has been not sleeping quite as well thanks to an ear infection. Ugh. He's been feeling miserable (finally on the upswing a little today) and so I'm sure that's the cause of his sleep regression.  I'm looking forward to us both sleeping well once we get his ear infection taken care of :) Best moment this week: Just basically every single moment I feel Maddox move. It's the best feeling ever. I feel like his moves are much harder than Coby's were at this moment. Not sure if he's stronger or if I'm more aware, but let me tell you...Maddox can MOVE. He makes my tummy bounce all over the place :) 
Miss Anything? Nope :) Thankful for a healthy pregnancy so far + praying it continues!
Movement: Like I said, often + they're getting more powerful. 
Food cravings: Nothing has stood out as a significant craving, but I could eat peanut butter blossoms (peanut butter cookies with a hershey kiss in the middle) all day. 
Anything making you queasy or sick: No, thankfully :) 
Gender: Our sweet boy!
Labor Signs: Nope
Symptoms: Just this little belly of mine getting in the way every now + then. I notice it most when I'm trying to hold Coby.  I have to hold him higher if he's in front so that he basically sits on Maddox. Probably just a foreshadowing of what's to come! 
Belly Button in or out? In but on its way out! haha 
Wedding rings on or off? On
Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy! It's the most wonderful time of the year :) 
Looking forward to: Well I had a moment this week where I said to Nate "Can you believe we are going to have 2 boys running around this house?" I feel like I can't imagine it, but am so thrilled for it to happen. I'm obviously not looking forward to the labor part (and it's far off yet hopefully!) but I am most certainly looking forward to the moment he is here! 
xox,
