How far along are you? 23 weeks
How big is baby? a papaya (which I though wasn't that big until I walked past one in the grocery store yesterday and was shocked at how large it really was)
Weight gain/loss? This past week, I was up two pounds for the month. I think I am still down a pound from the beginning. I was at my very heaviest, so it's okay.

Stretch marks? same
Maternity clothes? Yes. I need to get more. I wore a regular shirt on Friday (one of my very largest) and I wore a super long tank under it but it looked wrong. It kept working its way up my belly.
Best moment this week? Billy telling me that he's really excited we're having a girl. I know that the sex doesn't matter to him but our culture is so preconditioned to want boys that it means a lot to me that he really is getting excited about her.
Gender? It's going to remain a girl until she comes out. No more ultrasounds even if they were wrong. I don't think they were though. A tech and a doctor said girl. The doctor pointed out labia, so I am thinking it wasn't a case of a tucked penis.
Movement? Every day now but not all the time. It comes and goes.
Belly button? same. It used to mark a waist but not anymore!
Symptoms? I've been quite tired. Also weepy. I cried so hard yesterday when I heard a version of Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah. I also cried reading a captioned picture on facebook.
Cravings? Sour cream (not alone, I just love it on and in anything) and cheese. Fruit.
What do I miss? A stiff drink
What I'm looking forward to this week? Book club next weekend will be fun. I also plan to do some maternity shopping.
Milestones? Nothing official. I have my diabetes test scheduled for next month. I am only two weeks away from viability which blows my mind.
