23 Weeks

I have been so bad at taking pregnancy pictures this time because I haven't felt pregnant this time around. Most of the time I just feel really fat so I haven't wanted my picture taken haha

Today though I finally took a picture so that I can remember how I looked during this pregnancy and I actually felt pretty this morning. This pregnancy has been so different than it was with Daniel. I feel bigger than I did with Daniel for sure and I have also been moodier and sicker this time. I was pretty sick during the first trimester but thankfully that went away by the time we moved to Vegas.

Movement: This little guy does move around and I love when he does. He definitely doesn't move as much as Daniel did which kind of stress me out haha

Food: I haven't had any specific cravings during this pregnancy. I have wanted more sweets in general but I've been able to get that with fruit or with little treats here and there and haven't gone too crazy. Although I do use holidays and trips as a nice excuse to go crazy haha The only real craving I can think of that I've had is cashews and peanuts! I always have them in the house to grab a handful.

Exercise: I'm still working out on the bike and the elliptical everyday. I've also been enjoying going for walks with Dan and Mike now that its warming up more. I'm so glad I've been able to exercise because I get very anxious when I'm pregnant and it really helps me to focus and get some "me" time in to relax.

What do I miss?: Right now I am cold all the time. Normally I could handle the 50 degree weather but I have been bundled up every day. I do have a little iron deficiency again which could be contributing to how cold I am but hopefully as it gets warmer in Vegas I won't have to be quite so bundled up and I can enjoy being outside more.

Overall this pregnancy has been pretty smooth though and I can't really complain. I'm more stressed and have more anxiety but a lot of that is due to life right now rather than just this pregnancy. I really like our doctor though which is a nice change from last time. I'm very excited to meet this little boy though :)
