5 months

23 weeks
Been feeling John kick frequently now. Marc was able to feel him too! Getting ready for Christmas but I can't wait until next Christmas with our little man. He will be 7 months old then. My energy is still dragging, but I feel pretty good otherwise.

Your Baby in Week 23 of Pregnancy 
Your little doll-sized babe is about to chub up a bit. His saggy skin will start to fit his frame as fat deposits fill things out. Beginning this week, he'll start to pack on the pounds (which means you will too!) and by month's end he'll be double the weight he is now (though you won't be — whew!). Right now, your baby's organs and bones are visible through his skin, which has a red hue due to developing veins and arteries beneath. But once those fat deposits settle in, he'll become less transparent.

Halfway there

Well I have hit 20 weeks, halfway to the finish line. Atleast this one. The semester is almost over and I am so ready for it to be done.

Symptoms: Tired still, hungry all the time
Up 10 pounds from the pre-pregnancy weight.
No real cravings, just whatever hits me at the time.
He has been kicking and moving like crazy now.


20 Weeks: Baby weighs about 10 1/2 ounces now. He's also around 6 1/2 inches long from head to bottom and about 10 inches from head to heel — the length of a banana. 

Our little baby is a boy! To be named John Andrew. Very healthy and measuring right on track. During the ultrasound he wouldn't uncross his legs, had the hiccups and kept putting his hands over his face.
