23 Weeks

Mom was here this week and took my 23 week photo for me.  We also created a pretty great fall mantle (check that one off the bucket list) and decided to take my picture in front of it.

I am feeling pretty good still.  Some lower back pain and increasing heartburn (oh no!) but otherwise good.  I swear e weighs 15 lbs more than he used to.  I can't hardly pick him up or carry him 10 feet to the car.  Up the stairs for bedtime is a workout in itself and I'm trying to get him to 'walk holding mommy's hand like a big boy' but sometimes that just not what he wants to do.  

Oh - I also cut my hair!! (which you might have noticed already).  I love it!!  I think it is a bit lighter in person than it photographs and angles up to the back.  I am still hoping the face doesn't balloon up during the rest of the pregnancy and make it a bad choice - but for now I'm really happy with it.  Love the change.

Really hoping this isn't the last picture of mom and me before Little Miss arrives.  Not sure we will be able to travel home for Christmas and otherwise we don't have plans to see each other again until the birth.  Makes me sad :(  Hoping maybe we find a really inexpensive flight over a long weekend and get her (and maybe dad next time too!) here one more time before February.
