Dear Millie, we are busy, busy, busy getting ready for you! Tonight I put your changing table in place and worked on your room--I've already made a mess in there! You have so many cute clothes I can't wait to see you in. I can feel you moving more and more every day and treasure each little flutter, kick, punch, and hiccup. You had the hiccups for the first time (that I could feel them) two nights ago. I didn't realize it was the hiccups but your daddy did! Tonight I am working on your mobile for over your crib. I love you! -Mommy

25 weeks, 4 days
Maternity Clothes: I just ordered two more pairs of maternity jeans and am outgrowing some of my not-maternity-but-made-them-work-for-a-while tops! My denim skirt is by far the most comfortable skirt so I wear it all the time, too!
Movement: More and more every week! I used to feel her kicking about once or twice a day, but now it's more like 4-5 times a day, and not just the strong kicks, but smaller movements, too...there's nothing in the world better!
Sleep: Well, it's 4:45 a.m. as I write this...most nights I am waking up at 3:00 for a bowl of cereal or Sprite if my tummy is upset. Tonight it was both. I should use this time to be productive (as in doing laundry) but instead it's turned into prime Pinterest and baby shopping time!
Cravings: No kill-Shane-in-the-middle-of-the-night-if-he-doesn't-go-to-the-store-for-me-right-now cravings, but I have had a California Avocado sandwich from Atlanta Bread Company for two days straight now!
Weight Gain: About 20 lbs...eek! I really wanted to keep it 25 for the whole pregnancy but I'm not going to make it something to worry about.
What I Miss: Being able to squeeze around people and some of my clothes.
Best Moment of the Week: Learning that my best friend, Hope, is probably going to have her baby (Maddie, Mille's future bff) early next week!
What I'm Looking Forward To: Aunt Miriam (the original Miriam!) coming to visit in a couple weeks!

23 Weeks
Today is the last day of Millie's 23rd week...tomorrow starts week 24!
My energy level has been good and I have no major complaints. My feet have started swelling a tiny bit, but just when I'm on my feet for long stretches at a time. I haven't been exercising as much as I want to, but I feel like I'm doing the best I can. I am hungry all the time and my go-to food is peanut butter (yes, Mom, you read that right!). In particular, I love Bee's Knees, all-natural made with honey!
I started a registry this week at Target, found here. Facebook has been a wonderful tool to get opinions on cloth vs. disposable diapers, gliders, and diaper pails among other advise!
Millie, we can't wait for you to come!!!
