Caleb is growing a lot now! Unfortunately so is Caleb's mom! I found at at my last appointment that I gained 9 pounds in a month and I am not happy about it. I'm trying to cut back on the food intake and get more exercise each day. Hopefully I will only gain 2-4 pounds at my next appointment, which is on my Birthday in January. Over all, the weight gain is still on track, but obviously if I keep gaining 9 pounds a month I'm going to end up way over where I should be.
Other than the weight gain, everything is going really great. I got to hear Caleb's heart beat again and he is growing right on track for how far along I am. I can't believe I'm already over 5 months pregnant! It's going by so fast, but even still I can't wait for him to get here.
Ethan and I did our Christmas shopping today and tonight we're getting ready to send out the Christmas and Chanukah cards. I love the holiday season, but it sure can be exhausting! I'm really looking forward to the week and a half off between Christmas and New Years. Ethan is almost done with his classes for the quarter, which is a relief for both of us, but the next few weeks are super busy! We have birthday and holiday parties every weekend! Should be fun though :)
Here is the baby update for the week:
How far along: 23 weeks, 2 days
Weight: +16 pounds - still on track for how far along I am, but more than I had wanted at this point. That's what happens when you gain 9 pounds in a month :(

Sleep: eh, ok
Best Moment This Week: Seeing my belly move when Caleb kicks
Movement: Yup, I can even feel him standing up now. He moves pretty regularly
Food Cravings: I don't really have cravings, just hungry all the time. I really trying hard not to gain too much weight because I am gaining too fast.
What I miss most: Just being in better physical shape
What I'm looking forward to: Getting the fan installed and painting the nursery
This Week: (switching to Baby Center updates) Turn on the radio and sway to the music. With her sense of movement well developed by now, your baby can feel you dance. And now that she's more than 11 inches long and weighs just over a pound (about as much as a large mango), you may be able to see her squirm underneath your clothes. Blood vessels in her lungs are developing to prepare for breathing, and the sounds that your baby's increasingly keen ears pick up are preparing her for entry into the outside world. Loud noises that become familiar now — such as your dog barking or the roar of the vacuum cleaner — probably won't faze her when she hears them outside the womb.
