We had a lovely Valentines Day - our first as an engaged couple, and last as just a couple... Jack had written a poem in my card... "Roses are red, violets are blue, this is our last valentines, just me and you"!
Last night we went round to our friend Mark (you know, the estate agent at Callum Roberts!) house and Jack cooked us dinner - it was SCRUMPTIOUS! I ate sooo much yesterday though! 2 croissants, 1 banana, 2 jam on toast, tuna & cucumber baguette, chocolate brownie, mozerella & tomato sandwich, lamb chops with veg & potatos, and ice cream, and there was still room for more!
Woke up in the night again last night with leg cramp - I've found lying on my front doing "naughty toes" against the bed to help.
I've been making a big fat spreadsheet of everything we need for the arrival of baby and the costs so we can total it up - its been keeping me very entertained but now I want more to look at! And I soooo want to go to Ikea to have a look round and get an idea for any baby stuff and house stuff.
Spoke to the estate agents this morning, our seller has found a house she may be putting an offer on, but nothing confirmed yet. Boo hoo, I wanna be innnnnnn!
Here's my bump pic for today... Its taken at work, so a clothed one this week!
Babycentre has this to say about week 23... "The baby now weighs almost one pound / 453 grams, measures nearly 8 inches/ just over 20 centimetres long from crown to rump, and is proportioned like a newborn, albeit a thinner version since her baby fat hasn't yet developed. Although she's getting heavier every day, her skin still appears wrinkled because she needs to gain more weight. The lips are distinct and the eyes are formed, though the iris (the coloured part of the eye) still lacks pigment. The pancreas, essential in the production of hormones, is developing steadily.
Even this early, the first signs of teeth appear in the form of tooth buds beneath the gum line. Before you know it, your baby will be born, and soon after, her first teeth will come through.
You've probably gained between 12 and 15 pounds / 5.4 and 6.8 kilograms. Starting now, you'll begin to put on weight more steadily, averaging about half a pound / 225 grams per week. You may crave certain foods and you may notice an increased (but not bloody) vaginal discharge. Both are a normal part of being pregnant.
