23 Weeks with Baby Girl

I hope someone can relate, but documenting "my lovely lady lumps" is much less exciting with each one.  Maybe because I pop faster.  Maybe because its not as fun seeing yourself get fat anymore.  Whatever the reason, I probably won't be as diligent.  But here are the 1st pictures I've snapped.

I'm 23 weeks along, and feeling fantastic.  No more feeling sick, and not so exhausted anymore.  I can definitely see a difference in being pregnant with a boy vs a girl.  I am more sick with girls, and stay sick all day and night.  I am just glad that at around 17 or 18 weeks I felt good again, just as I did with the boys.  My little girl is growing healthy and strong and is looking perfect, and is active inside my tummy.  My 1st trimester was a bit crazy but I am doing much better eating healthier now, and maintaining normal portions.  (I hate feeling like you have to eat constantly to feel good!)  I haven't been going to the gym and working out like I did when I was pregnant with Tyson.  I want to, it just seems like life is SO busy.  Maybe today! :)

I craved ice with my other pregnancies, but haven't this one.  I have loved fresh peaches this time, and pasta.  I am really excited to be at this point in my pregnancy.  I am feeling great, and I have a feeling that the rest will go by really quickly, especially with all of the holidays to keep me busy and preoccupied.

Tyson is sleeping great in his new bed in Porter's room, and this little girl's room is almost done.  Right now I am working on some artwork for the walls, and am contemplating framing some Shel Silverstein poems, like this below.  The room is pink and white, with a touch of green.  Its girly, its dainty, and I am loving it!!!
