Week 23

I have no entered into the sixth month, which is the last month in the second trimester. This week TIF is working on building up some fat. Right now, her skin is loose and a little see through. Her fat buildup will continue through the eighth month. Cute baby cheeks, anyone? (And yes, I mean the ones on her face and her bottom!)

There is no question I am pregnant. I find it no longer advantageous to turn sideways to get through narrow places. Everywhere I go I am getting a little unsolicited advice. I will get better at deflecting or accepting it. I just never know what to say. Fortunately, people don't touch my belly!

I will have my next doctor's appointment in a month and another ultrasound one month after that. In the mean time, I keep eating all day long. ... And try to limit my sweets!
