23 Weeks Pregnancy Questionaire

How Far Along:  23 weeks and some change. 
Weight Gain/Loss:  I'm right around what I weighed when I got pregnant. And my weight will fluctuate daily by several pounds based on whether I'm feeling ok or not, so I average it out to be around -4 lbs lost.
Sleep:  Depends on the night. I ran out of my beloved Unisom, which makes me very sad. I would be sleeping a little better if my daughter (18 mos) would cooperate. 
Best Moment This Week:   Um.... I ate Chipotle once already this week! And Adam felt her kicking around for the first time a couple of days ago. 
Movement: Lots and lots. Just like her older sister, this little one is very, very active.
Food Cravings/Aversions: Food, in general, is not my friend. My stomach has become queasy again lately, which I am not happy about. My things that I almost always like are: lime juice, Chipotle chicken burritos, and milk. 
What I Miss: Not feeling like crap, and feeling like myself. I'm having a very hard time lately staying motivated and keeping all of my "to do"'s checked off. 
Stretch Marks:  No new ones. I still have my big battle wound right next to my belly button from Boo (that I didn't get until the very end of that pregnancy! Bugs me so bad!) and this time around I'm going to try REALLY HARD to not scratch. I also grew the most the last month or so. I am religiously lathering copious amounts of body butter cream on my tummy though. 
Belly Button:  I don't get it. Yes I have one? Yes it's still normal? It hasn't done anything questionable yet. 
Wedding Rings:  Fit the same as they always have. 
Mood: Unmotivated, stressed and not feeling good about 85% of the time (I'm a real peach to be around)
Labor Signs:  Nope. 
Milestones:   I think week 26 is when the baby is considered viable. 
Upcoming Appointments/Events: I'll have another appointment in about 5 weeks (I'll be out of town when I'm supposed to be seen)
What I look forward to: Getting over the newness of having 2 young children; I am scared for my sanity and general ability to handle it. Although I know I can "handle it" freaking parenthood is HARD! and since I haven't felt my best or like myself during this pregnancy I am not feeling very confident. 
Weekly Wisdom:  Take it one day at a time.

    I was diagnosed as HEPATITIS B carrier in 2013 with fibrosis of the
    liver already present. I started on antiviral medications which
    reduced the viral load initially. After a couple of years the virus
    became resistant. I started on HEPATITIS B Herbal treatment from
    ULTIMATE LIFE CLINIC (www.ultimatelifeclinic.com) in March, 2020. Their
    treatment totally reversed the virus. I did another blood test after
    the 6 months long treatment and tested negative to the virus. Amazing
    treatment! This treatment is a breakthrough for all HBV carriers.

How to be a Housewife (Without Feeling Like a Slave)

Now, don't get the wrong idea here... I'm not sending a passive aggressive message out there to men (do men even read blogs?) that women hate doing house duties. We love it - right, ladies??? (wink, wink) And I'm not complaining either. (Although I do despise laundry, I love a clean house; so it's a double-edged sword.) One thing I'm BIG on is positive thinking . Sometimes, it is hard to be positive if you are feeling overwhelmed with dishes, laundry, cleaning, cooking... oh yeah... LIVING IN and maintaining a home. So, I thought sharing my thoughts on this topic could maybe help some disgruntled wifeys out there. 1) Don't hate, delegate - I'm a huge fan of starting young with manageable tasks around the home. There are a bunch of lists floating around the interwebs of chore lists for kiddos, and a lot of them are pretty dang silly (one suggests letting a 2-3 year old put dishes away, um no!)  -- but my favorite one is from Kids Activities Blog.  2) B...

Tips on Survival with a Sick Baby

Any parent can tell you that life can be turned upside by a sick child. Sleepless nights, lots of crying (you and the baby!), routines are thrown out the window... it's just for the birds. And to make it even worse, you as a parent are playing a guessing game of what is ailing your child specifically in some instances. So, I don't know about y'all, but this winter season has been a real fun one for Boo. We have had 4 ear infections, a stomach bug, and RSV. I don't even know how to quantify the runny noses, because it has been constant. I know that I am lucky that she is otherwise healthy, so I will go knock on a million pieces of wood now. I have learned from experience (at least 5 trips to the emergency room and 2 hospital stays unfortunately) that earaches/throw up/fever hits in the middle of the night 9 out of 10 times, and at least the first time, you are GROSSLY unprepared. I hope this blog post can change the second part for some new parents out there. (Edit...

10 Common Mommy Guilts Turned Mommy Mantras

Mommy guilt. Although not partial to mothers, parents are affected by this phenomenon from day 1 (sometimes even before that!!!), and the verdict is still out on if it ever goes away. The positive news is that if you suffer from mommy guilt, that's a pretty good sign that you are a caring parent because you are even worried in the first place. I decided to turn to my friends for the reasons they felt mommy guilt. I'd like to thank each and every one of you for sharing what makes you feel guilty as a parent - I know sometimes it's hard to verbalize and almost makes you feel worse. I was amazed by the sheer amount of responses I got - y'all, mommy guilt doesn't mess around, nor is it partial to one group of people versus another! Mommy guilt is an equal opportunity employer. I'm big into positivity these days, and I truly believe that the way that you think about things has a direct relationship to how things turn out. So I took 10 of the most common mommy...
