23 Weeks


Pregnancy Highlights

How far along: I am 23 weeks

Size of baby: Charlie Kate is the size of an Ear of Corn. She is 8.5 inches from crown to rump and weighs 1.5 pound!! She's getting big y'all!

Total weight gain/loss: Since the beginning I lost 5 pounds, and I have gained back a total of 10 pounds. I only count 5 of them though... I'm still 10 pounds from where I'm suppose to end.

Maternity Clothes: Every Day!! All of my normal clothes are too small in one way or another. Super excited to go shopping for Teacher/Maternity clothes for the Fall Semester.

Gender: A sweet little Girl... Charlie Kate.


Movement: Yes, yes, yes! It's such a blessing to feel and sometimes see her moving. Especially when Jordan is actually around to see too!

What I miss: I don't really miss much. I'm really enjoying being pregnant! I guess I'm just lucky : )

Cravings:  Nothing specific these past few weeks... Chocolate cake?? Nah, I'm always craving Chocolate Cake.

Symptoms: I have had more back/hip pain these past few weeks, but my new doctor prescribed me some pain meds that have worked wonders! Everything is fantastic!

Best moment this week: Finding out we officially have a house to bring our sweet little girl home to! God has blessed us so much, and I know he will provide Jordan a job closer to home soon!


So much has happened in these past few weeks! Last week I officially moved into the trailer that we are renting temporarily, so this began my and Jordan's living apart. This was a very sad day, but it is so wonderful to be just a few minutes from my job. This week started band camp, and so far it has gone great! I was worried I would be extremely tired because of the pregnancy, but so far I feel good.

Our big new this week is the purchase of our first home! We are so excited to have found such an amazing house! We are absolutely in love and can't wait to get moved in! Until then we are continuing to pray for Jordan to get transferred to a store closer to home.
