Week 23

How far along: 23 Weeks -- I skipped last weeks update . . .  whoops! 

Food Comparison: Large Mango

Gender: Boy!! 

Weight gain: +12 lbs 

Maternity clothes: A few pieces. I'm mostly wearing regular clothing and belting almost everything!

Stretch marks: No - still slathering up with my belly butter!

Belly button in or out: Half way in half way out. I give it 2 weeks and I'll have a full blown outie. I did finally decide to take the belly button ring out. 

Sleep: So so.

Best moment last week: Announcing our name . . . Christian couldn't hold it in anymore. Kingston Christopher! 

And really deep cleaning our apartment. I'm talking 

e-v-e-r-y-t-h-i-n-g! 

Worst moment last week: The work week was the slowest. Friday couldn't come soon enough. 

Miss anything: Sleeping through the night and not seeing my veins. Everywhere I look on my body - my veins are bright and extremely visible. It grosses me out! 

Movement: So many. Sometimes I forget I'm pregnant till he gives me a nice little jab. 

Cravings: Chicken & a biscuit crackers and dill pickle chips.  

Queasy or sick: Some movements make my stomach drop - like we've just driven over a steep hill. It's weird. But really I'm feeling great. 

Looking forward to: Aynslee Lou's 1st birthday this weekend.

Prayer Request: This week I will pray for Kingston's future friends. I pray that he finds good Christian friends that are nothing but positive influences. The world is scary these days - and who our children hang out with can really impact their lives. Thankfully I have great Godly/Christian friends with kiddo's - so they will be forced to like each other and hang out!
