23 Weeks Baby Belly

Well - I'm back home from my trip and I am now 23 weeks along. So, I think it's about time for another picture since it's been almost 4 weeks since the last one. I think I've really started showing, and somehow I went from being at the low end of the recommended weight gain range to the high end. I'm trying not to worry too much about that & focus on the fact that the weight gain is for a good reason! I just hope I don't gain way too much weight & also that the weight will come off on the other side of this adventure..... I think small people are supposed to gain a bit more, so I guess it's okay ;P

On another note, Brannon decided I should take a picture of him at 23 weeks. Luckily for him - he hasn't really put on any "sympathy" weight. I thought he might given the fact that we were watching what we ate pretty closely before I got pregnant since he wanted to shed the weight he gained in law school (and he had been pretty successful at it). But once I got pregnant, I began buying alot more snack foods at the grocery store and it's hard for him to resist! But like I said, he's still holding strong & not gaining back his law school weight.

One last thing - we have settled on a name. I will wait to post it until I tell the immediate family before sharing with the world on my blog. But it is coming soon to a blog near you :)

You look great! I tried not to focus on the weight gain either. We don't have a scale at home and I turned my head when they took down my weight at the OB.

No worries re: the weight gain!!! I had lots of spurts (and so did my sister in law - the other member of the 5 foot club) but it all evened out in the end!! You'll be fine :-)
