23 weeks

 Alex said it looks like I'm carrying a basketball under my shirt. I'm afraid it may look like I'm carrying a beach ball in a few weeks!

How far along: 23 weeks

Clothes: My regular shirts and sweaters are getting pretty tight. My shoes are also getting pretty tight and uncomfortable.

Wedding rings: They're getting snug! Eek!

Sleep: I sleep with 3 big pillows-1 for my head and 2 for each side of me. I'm about to add one more to the mix because I want to sleep more propped up. Sleep has been pretty good this week, but I have been noticing Alex stealing my body pillow in the middle of the night. I have to pry it from him most nights now!

Symptoms: A little touch of nausea has come back, my shins and calves are cramping up, my back and sides have also been a bit sore.

Food Cravings: pasta with marinara sauce, Newk's chicken salad sandwiches and salad with balsamic vinaigrette, Cheesecake Factory chocolate tuxedo cheesecake (OMG SO GOOD), bisquick sausage balls, and clementines.

Food Aversions: Thousand Island dressing and spinach/artichoke dip

Best Moments this Week: Spending time with my family, my Aunt Cat's Christmas party, shopping for Scarlett,  mani/pedi with my mom, and tuxedo cheesecake at Cheesecake Factory.
Looking Forward to: Christmas with Alex tomorrow, dinner tomorrow night with good friends, Cara and Jeff, and doctor's appointment on Thursday.

Food Size Comparison: Large Mango
