How Far Along: 23 weeks pregnant...can't believe it.
Size of Baby: A papaya...about 8" and 1.2 lbs
Gender: Our little girl, Nancy Hope Houston!
Fun Fact: Baby's skin is saggy and wrinkly until she fattens up over the next weeks. Another random fun fact...I had a dream a few weeks ago that Nancy was born on Saturday after my due date. I quickly checked my calendar, and Saturday is also Hope's birthday. How amazing would it be for Nancy Hope and her Auntie Hope to share a birthday?!
Prayer Request: Thanks for all of your love, positivity, and encouragement from our prayer request last week. Please continue to pray with us as our 3rd anatomy ultrasound with the specialist has been scheduled from Thursday, January 8. We wanted to wait until after the new year because we'll have a better insurance plan. Total grown up problems. :)

Movement: You can officially feel her from the outside so much that I even captured it on video and sent it to my mom, sister, and my bestie, Ashley. They could all see that dancing baby in there! CRAZY! Can't wait for them (and more family) to be able to feel her over Christmas!
Sleep: Just up for an hour or so sometimes in the middle of the night. Mark and I actually met in the kitchen at 3:45am one morning. Cereal for him, water for me.
Workouts: PB x 5 and one 2 mile family walk :)
22w6d at PB Wilmington. Kate and Summer are both 16 weeks. Love my PB fam!
On our family walk
Maternity Clothes: Leggings galore (maternity and regular). I like fitted maternity tops that make my bump pop more. But I also like wearing tunics where you wouldn't know I was pregnant if you didn't know me. I'm weird.
Symptoms: Still honeymoon trimestering it. I have a cold, but that's more a part of winter and less a part of pregnancy, I suppose. I did do a bad thing this week though. I was rearranging furniture and totally should have waited for Mark's help. Eeek. I pulled a little something that I know I normally wouldn't have if I weren't pregnant. AHHH! Be careful, I know! Serves me right. Totally freaked me out. I confessed to Mark immediately. No more heavy lifting for me. Sorry, little Nancy!!!! Mommy won't pretend I'm not pregnant and move big stuff around anymore!!! Lesson learned.
Cravings/Aversions: Hard to crave things when Christmas goodies are all around... :)
Missing Most: Nothing really! Wouldn't mind a glass of wine, but I wouldn't say I'm craving it by any means.
Nursery: Prepped it for bringing the crib home after Christmas! We're 4 months out from our due date. Time to get moving (and registering!)!
The crib will go on that empty wall...and will be there in just a couple of weeks!
We'll replace the chaise with a white glider. I sat there this week thinking about rocking her to sleep.
I felt such joy and fulfillment at the thought...I can't imagine the overwhelming emotion when she's really in my arms!
I also snagged this from Marshalls and painted the hardware gold (of course!)!
The bed that will stay in Nancy's nursery is so tall...it's unsual to happen upon a nightstand like this that's so tall and narrow (and already white)! I snatched up this steal of a deal in no time.

Hubby: We've had a lot of snuggly spoonage nights...all 4 of us. My growing tummy gets rubbed, and, as always, Tina is the baby spoon.
Amelia has also been extra, extra snuggly with the bump!
Best Part of the Week: Heading to Charlotte today for Christmas and New Year's!!! SO thankful that Mark has this long break!!!!!! Can't wait to be home for the holidays!
Can't Wait For: Walking into my mama's house and knowing that we'll be in Charlotte for nearly 2 weeks!
