23 weeks... wowsas! I feel like it might actually be 24 and I have missed a week somewhere but regardless- one more week down. It was a pretty good week overall. The belly is still fairly tender in the evenings and I did not wear the belly belt like I was supposed to so it is my own fault. I am still struggling with thinking I just look fat and not pregnant. A secretary at my school claimed, "My, you are getting wider- it must be a girl!" yesterday. Thanks lady- that was classy. Most people say I look good for almost 6 months and I think 12 pounds is pretty darn good but I feel like a load. In fact- most of my original maternity clothes don't fit me anymore. My arms seem to have gotten fat, my legs and butt are fatter- everything but the basketball that I so desperately want. Don't get me wrong- I am not complaining- I am thrilled to pregnant and as long as I am healthy I could give a rip if I look fat but its just self image that I have always struggled with.
FJ is getting stir crazy with our weekend routine. I am perfectly happy sitting around watching t.v. while he still wants to get out and have a life. I told him go ahead! Or- I will gladly go to a non-smoking bar and have a lemonade while you have some drinks. I think he is depressed that his friends aren't calling but honestly they probably think that we are living the pregnant life and have no intention to go out. I told him that the phone works both ways and he should make himself available to his friends if that would get himself out of his funk. I think the thing that he is struggling with the most is not smoking. I am not sure tat he necessarily "trusts" himself being out with his friends (who smoke) without me and not giving in to temptation. He is driving me crazy though- such a baby!

YAY for 23! I think 12 pounds is fantastic. I'm jealous. I have this feeling that when I go back to the doctor on Wednesday they are going to say I've gained like 50 pounds. Bleh. :)
Happy 23 weeks - we are almost 6 months! A few more days
I'm SHOCKED that you are 23 weeks! I feel like you just announced your bfp. wow! my link to your blog was stuck on november for some reason and I thought you simply stopped updating. it is incredible how time has flown by.
I hear ya about the width weight gain. I've gained 10 lbs already and it's all in my hips, butt and thighs. blech.
Make FJ call some of his buddies - if you are comfortable with it, I am sure one night out will help him get over his funk!
Congratulations on the new milestone and for the minimal weight gain!!! My appointment is tomorrow and I am dreading the scale already. :(
