23 weeks




Gotta love those pregnancy hormones



I had my 23 week appointment on Tuesday, and everything looks great! My tummy is feeling really round these days, and I felt like quite the science experiment when my doctor examined me with a tape measure! 

Baby's size: weighing in at a whopping 1 pound this week!

Total weight gain: 8 lb

How do you feel? Good overall! I do feel like I'm getting my energy back and my appetite doesn't seem out of the usual. A small bowl of ice cream every night is usual, right? I am getting bouts of nausea/motion sickness lately though with all of the increased movement I'm feeling. The baby must be doing some serious tumbling in there! 

Nursery: Right now, the baby's nursery is a guest bedroom and is still acting as such. The few gifts we've received have been stored in there, but it doesn't really feel like a nursery yet. I plan on painting the dresser white to match the crib, and the crib itself will ship by the end of the week. Pics to come as soon as it's put together but I will give one hint on what it looks like based on my favorite designer and a family I look up to...

Moment of the week: Baby Hickman is getting stronger by the day and we can see kicks from the outside now! I've tried recording it because it looks so alien and surreal, but the baby must sense I'm trying to be sneaky and stops kicking at all as soon as I hit record. Hmph, this isn't our child at all!
