Size of the baby? about 13 1/2 inches, head to heals and weighing around a pound and a half! As baby center describes, the weight of an average rutabaga:
Any new symptoms? no new ones. But I have noticed these giant veins running down the side of my belly and all over my chest and boobs. Crazy looking!
What are you craving? pickles. I am back to craving pickles hardcore, it's bad y'all.
Total weight gain? 10 lbs!
Baby Bump? oh yaaaah
Movement? yes and I'm pretty sure baby is in a breech position based on the movements. Not 100% sure if it's butt down or head down, but I know the baby is no longer transverse(as of now).
Gender? Girl!
Nesting? A little nesting this week. Trying to organize all the new baby items we've gotten.
Sleeping well? Why yes I am. My back pain has been like a million times better. Wondering if it had anything to do with the position the baby was in. Hmm.
Buy anything for the baby this week? YES! I bought 2 adorable newborn fitteds from Heavenly Blessings. Also bought 6 used Rumparooz OS diapers from a twitter friend and she threw in a newborn fitted with cover as a gift for Ruby! So sweet!
What are you looking forward to? Putting all these itty-bitty diapers on my new baby. :)
What are you enjoying the most/least about being pregnant this week? Enjoying feeling great and in good health. I was feeling like crap for the last 2-3 weeks! Not enjoying the anxiety I'm having because of our upcoming plane flight. I really hate flying and it pisses me off I'm flying while pregnant with my miracle baby. I can't help but be nervous about it. :-/

My Pregnancy: Week 24 (6 months!)
How Far along? 24 weeks!
Size of the baby? almost a foot long and just over a pound
Any new symptoms? nope, same old ones.
What are you craving? ham. Deli sliced ham wrapped around sesame breadsticks. YUM.
Total weight gain? 9 lbs!
Baby Bump? yes ma'am.
Movement? yup, lots of kicks or punches up top lately, baby is moving all around.
Gender? GIRL, duh.
Nesting? not this week, after all my nesting the week before I think I needed a break.
Sleeping well? never. Especially since getting this headcold. Hope I am well soon!
Buy anything for the baby this week? yes! Clothes, a baby bath, a crib bumper, diaper cream, blankets and burp cloths!
What are you looking forward to? breastfeeding. I really miss breastfeeding and I saw a lady nursing her 10 week old baby girl at the park yesterday. Oh bliss. :)
What are you enjoying the most/least about being pregnant this week? I'm enjoying all the baby movement. Feels like this girl is doing some crazy dance moves in there. I am not enjoying being sick. Headcold + pregnancy = no fun. :(

My Pregnancy: Week 23
Happy 23 weeks to me!
How Far along? 23 weeks!
Size of the baby? about 11 inches long and weighs just over a pound (like a large mango)
Any new symptoms? Yup! Got a lovely new one this week. I've been waking up in the early morning to "charly horse's". Awesomesauce.
What are you craving? fruit. I've been eating a ton of fruit lately. Nectarines and apricots!
Total weight gain? 9 lbs!
Baby Bump? Bumpalicious
Movement? yes lots of movement, mostly on the right side. Baby is in a new position too because I found the heartbeat on my right instead of over on my left where it's been the last 3 times!
Gender? GIRL, still.
Nesting? oh yes! I did a complete makeover of Lucy's room. It now fits two! :)
Sleeping well? nope. I don't even want to talk about it...
Buy anything for the baby this week? Yup, bought baby a little purple striped onesie.
What are you looking forward to? putting the final touches on my cloth diaper stash. It's almost "complete" and I can't wait to stop thinking about it until baby gets here and I can actually USE them. lol
What are you enjoying the most/least about being pregnant this week? enjoying nesting, I never felt this way with Lucy. Not enjoying the preggo aches and pains.
