Valentine Love

This year Andrew and I spent Valentine's Day apart. He had to travel to the States for work - it was either Valentine week OR a week towards the end of May when I am going to be 8+ months pregnant! We decided this was the better option. 

Upon his return, I was given the CUTEST Valentine gift... Baby Girl's first swimsuit! We are hoping to go to the south of France in August to spend sometime with family, so she will need a little something something to wear. The icing on the cake is that it's also 50 SPF! I really can't wait to put her in this :)

Other than that, I've been feeling really good these last couple weeks. I'm REALLY starting to feel Baby Girl move now. Sometimes she even kicks hard enough to feel from the outside! Andrew has only felt her once and that was last night. She already has a flair for the dramatics... will kick kick kick and then when Andrew goes to feel, she stops! 

Here's my latest update: 



How far along? 23 Weeks
Total weight gain: 11 lbs
Maternity clothes? Clearly I am in need of more pregnancy clothes... my regular clothes are about to burst!! I am currently looking for a baby shower dress.
Stretch marks? Nope.
Sleep: OK. I just got a body pillow which makes a WORLD of difference :)
Best moment this week:  Feeling baby girl kick from the outside!

Miss Anything? Champagne. I've been drinking sparkling water with a touch of apple juice to feel like I'm drinking something fun...
Movement: Yup!! She's definitely most active in the evenings - right after dinner. She's like her mama - food makes her happy :)

Food cravings: Nothing special
Anything making you queasy or sick: I'm having a bit of an issue with ground beef at the moment. No chocolate for me.
Gender: Baby girl

Labor Signs: No.
Symptoms: Just tired and easily out of breath!
Belly Button in or out? In.
Wedding rings on or off? On.

Happy or Moody most of the time: Very very happy :)
Looking forward to:  A 4D scan. This is my new obsession and I'm just now reaching the window of possibility for this. Still doing my research.
