Pregnancy - Day 162

Today is day 162 of my pregnancy (23 wks, 1day).

Here's what I found online about

Stella this week:

Your baby is positively HUGE during pregnancy

at 23 weeks, a whopping 1.1 pound

(or almost at least!). That is quite an

accomplishment for someone that used to

weigh less than one ounce. Your baby at 23

weeks is now the size of a small baby doll you

might purchase for a little girl.

That's pretty impressive considering your baby

could fit in the palm of your hand just a few

short weeks ago. Your newborn baby is also

about 11 inches long by pregnancy week 23!

I have felt many of Stella's changes this week also.

**I am feeling a little less graceful 23 weeks pregnant as my

belly continues to expand!

**Stella's kicks are becoming stronger and stronger and

I'm hoping the girls and Joe will be able to feel them soon.

**My mood swings have been horrible this week...the

family is not sure if they should hide or seek me LOL

**Migraine this week..could be weather or hormones...not sure

**Went to the chiropractor...and feel 10x's better

**Braxton hicks contractions every other day or so

**Weight is starting to come on this week...I think the scale

at home says I've gained 2-3lbs.

All in all I'm enjoying this pregnancy and the miracle God

has given to me :) I can't wait till the day I get to see

Stella's beautiful face...if she will have brown eyes/brown hair

like mommy or blue eyes/blonde hair like daddy...or her own

combination like her sister Alli Jo :) However she looks I know

she will be beautiful like her sisters and look like an angel!

--On a side note...my Aunt Rosetta passed away this week.

If you can please keep my mom and our family in your prayer :)

Till the next time........
