Bump Day: 23 Weeks

I am 23 weeks pregnant today and baby boy is the size of a papaya. He is quite the wiggle worm, and one of Jonathan and I’s newest hobbies is waiting to feel and see his movements through the skin. I have been known to wait for 10 minute increments with the video camera ready and aimed at my bump so that I can text Jonathan footage of baby movements while he’s at work. 

I feel like my bump growth has plateaued over the past 3 weeks, but apparently, baby is gearing up for another big growth spurt. In fact, he is supposed to double in weight over the next 4 weeks. I better start applying that stretch mark lotion, because if baby is growing that rapidly, that means my belly will be as well. Here is what it looks like this week:

  1. Laine, I enjoy your blog and love the weekly "bump day" pictures. I hope I get to meet you and Jonathan when I come to visit Jill in August! You'll are going to be great parents and Jill has always been a great babysitter if you need one!

    1. Aw, you are so sweet to follow along. You've raised one incredible daughter and she has been such a blessing in my life. I'll let her know that you have volunteered her for babysitting:) I hope to meet you on your upcoming visit!

  2. I also love your blog. My daughter is Scotland at the moment with a group from America called People to People. She will also be traveling to both Ireland's, Wales, and England. I can't wait to hear about her adventures to the country that you have brought alive to me in the United States.

    1. What an awesome experience for your daughter! It's one of my goals to travel to all the countries comprising the UK and Ireland. I still haven't made it to Wales or Northern Ireland but I've heard they are both worth a visit.
