Bumpdate {23 weeks}

  • How far along? 23 weeks 3 days
  • Weight Gain/Loss: I'm sure I've gained, we will see how much next week!
  • Sleep: still crappy
  • Best moment this week: seeing a little kick! I also loved Luke's surprise for baby girl this week :)
  • Movement: kicking as I write this - She's still spinning around plenty in there, because I will feel kicks way down low, then above my belly button a short time later
  • Food Cravings: HAD to have Cafe Rio's sweet pork this weekend after having it for the first time on Thursday at a rehearsal dinner!
  • Food Aversions: nothing really
  • Belly Button: slowly getting pushed out! It's weird being able to see the inside of my belly button, it's always been so deep it wasn't possible 
  • Stretch Marks: Nope
  • Symptoms: Heartburn after most meals, and my back is starting to hurt. I think that's mostly attributed to how much I've had to be on my feet this week. Being in heels for the wedding was torturous and now I've been so busy packing the house! 
  • What I miss: sleeping through the night. Luke and I were both awake at 2 am last night thanks to sleeping in a spare room (paint fumes in ours) and our new humidifier making way to much noise
  • What I’m looking forward to: getting this house LISTED and sold so I can move onto finding a new house!
This week has been the busiest one of this pregnancy and I'm paying for it! I'm SO GLAD the wedding is over and done, because it was the hardest thing I've had to do so far. I don't think I was prepared for how difficult it was going to be for me to keep up, much less in heels. By the time we were all ready and at the venue, it was already 5 and had been a long day. Add in pictures (taken while hiking through fields and rocks in heels) and the actual ceremony and I seriously was contemplating where I could lie down. Luckily I was able to get out of the heels after that, but the damage to my poor back was already done. I spent the rest of the wedding seated, even through all the dancing. I was also the only bridesmaid NOT to leave early so I really felt I couldn't leave until the wedding shut down. Luke and I finally made it home around 1:15am, and I could have cried at the sight of my bed :)
After getting through the wedding, I could finally concentrate on getting the house ready to sell. We spent as much time this weekend packing up anything extra and organizing the house. We also had tickets to the broncos game Sunday, so we didn't get nearly as much accomplished as I would have liked. Luckily, my parents got back from their amazing cruise on Tuesday and spent yesterday helping me at the house. The only thing left to do is organize cupboards and drawers in the kitchen, finish painting the master bedroom, touch up paint around the house,and finally some cleaning. We are hoping to get it listed tomorrow, November 1st so that we can have plenty of showings over the weekend and I can just plan on being at my parents' house. Wish us luck! 

Here are some pictures from the week!

Papa talking to his girl, and feeling her move :) I get teary eyed every time! 

Just some of the boxes - I keep reminding myself how much easier the actual move will be with half of our stuff out already!

Papa made Mama cry her eyes out with this surprise this week. He decided that he wanted to find a book to read to baby girl, and then would write her a note on the inside so we would always remember the first story he ever read to her. He is so good at this already :)
