How Far Along Are You? 23w4d

What's Up Physically This Week? I have acquired my first stretch mark. And surprisingly it's on my boobie. It's really small and faint but of course I noticed it. I'm not too concerned but it just surprised me! Otherwise all is well. Belly is growing and making it harder to get around but I'm still doing ok :)

What's Up Emotionally & Mentally This Week?I had my first hormonal cry for no reason this weekend and it was hilarious. I hate to be emotional and cant stand for people to see me cry... but this weekend I was laughing at something (the paint color we picked out for the babies room, we painted on one wall and I didnt like it at all and it bothered me b/c I like something to be right the first time!!!) but yea I was laughing because I was so annoyed about it that I started hysterically crying about it , and then laughing, and then crying and laughing again. And Zack goes "I hope you're not crying"! and I looked up and had tears just flowing from my eyes and he was like "oh my gosh, im sorry , but this is REALLY funny" and I was laughing/crying so hard that I was just kind of pointing at myself to tell him "I think so too"...

What Are You Reading - Books, Magazines, Web Sites?Same as usual :)

Random Things Of Note? Breastfeeding class on August 5th... Also trying to get into a birthing class that starts on Thursday but It was full so I'm calling today to make sure they didn't have any drop-outs.

Also, Efren had the hiccups last night which was cool! It was the first time I'd actually realized he had them but I think he's had them before :)

Dr. Appointment tomorrow 9am for cervix measure. & still waiting to hear a callback to schedule my second anatomy scan.

My first stretch marks have appeared on my boobies too! (not full on stretchmarks yet but those dots that will for sure turn into them) Which is weird because my boobs haven't even grown a cup size yet. :(

I can't wait to feel hiccups!

My stretch marks are the same as you described, not full blown yet but they are really light pink colored ... My boobs have gotten HUGE tho, Im sure they've grown a cup size, im just to cheap to buy a new bra :p

[ashleyyynoel]

Yeah I started as an A and I'm still squishing myself into them. I'm so afraid they won't growww. If they don't then after BFing for 6-9 months, I'll be left with flapjacks. :( lol!

Oh god that was a terrible mental picture!

[ashleyyynoel]

Hahaha! I know! It's even worse living with knowing it's a possibility. LOL.

hahah! You're funny. I started as a small b-cup... and they've grown crazy amounts. I'd venture that Im a large b or small c by now. its so weird!

update: new stretch mark, on my belly :o

holy cow! They're sparking up all over the place!!! Its really tiny, I thought it was a scratch, from the dog or something.. ohhhh me oh my.

I wanted to add that I just got my second anatomy scan appointment which was supposed to be 4 weeks after my first, but they arent going to get me in until AUGUST 21st!?!?? wtf!? Thats like over 8 weeks. Stupid stupid military.

[tooby3]

what exactly do hiccups feel like?

[turtleohs]

It feels kind of like a kick, but its in a rhythmic way..and in the same spot each time!

[tooby3]

ah ha! I think I've been experiencing that! I wondered if it was hiccups.

thanks!
