le bump / 23 weeks

bonne année, bump.

progress & countdown: 23 weeks down & 113 days to go!

baby size: weight of a spaghetti squash.

food & drink: it is all about trying to stay satisfied and nourished without feeling overly full. lots of smaller meals with plenty of protein. and one of our plans for the new year is to do a cheese night on the first of each month so, that will be excellent.

bump stuff: it feels like it gets bigger each morning. heavier and more baby-full.

highs: feeling so much more movement. turning the calendar into 2021 which means, the year of baby!

lows: that pelvic spread is no joke. i am trying to stay moving but make space for rest more and more.

new developments: baby can hear more and more outside world sounds and perceive mama’s movements. the digestive tract is making waves and practicing for future food consumption.

meaningful moments & hormones & feelings: we purchased an archival print of the royal albert hall to place over albert’s crib and i am so excited for the arrival. his space is coming together, one thing at a time.

superficial stuff: it the bump feels massive. i am drinking all the collagen, going to the chiro every week, and slathering on the shea butter on the regular.

looking forward to: starting to fill in albert’s space. we have officially cleaned it out, now, to put baby things back in.
