I'm currently almost 24 weeks... baby is the size of a papaya but feels a lot bigger to me! I'm officially in all maternity clothes which are the most comfy things ever invented. Why I waited so long to give in, I have no idea! I had a fairly recent prenatal appointment and everything is going well. You can see from the pics that I made quite a jump in bump growth in the 23rd week!
This is the time when the baby is growing the most. Baby is now going to start filling out with pudge b/c right now it's pretty skinny. I have been feeling all kinds of crazy movement and I still love it. The weirdest is when I get punched/kicked in the bladder and other internal organs. Sometimes it makes me jump b/c it is the weirdest feeling. Lots of things are making this all more "real" like talks of insurance plans, finally buying the furniture, pediatrician visits, and Mike losing more and more space in the bed :) He actually saw my belly move over Thanksgiving which was fun ... baby loved Thanksgiving!!! Mike is also having to help me a little more with getting my boots on and off and picking things up off the floor b/c the belly is starting to make it a little more difficult. Below are some pics from Weeks 21-23. I just realized only one of these is naked belly so sorry to those of you who enjoy that type of thing ;) I'll make sure and get some bare bellies coming up in the next few weeks b/c I am feeling super hot and sexy as you can see....
