23 weeks

How far along? 23 weeks
Baby is the size of a: Ear of corn (11 inches long, 1.2 pounds)
Total weight gain/loss:  -8 lbs (+/- 0 lb)
Sleep:  Dreams are getting much more vivid and weird.  I must have been dehydrated last night because in my dream I was drinking water like crazy!
Best moment this week:  Feeling a MASSIVE kick from Marsi on the outside of my belly.
Movement: Mostly kicks and jabs now.  Not so many rolls and flips.
Food cravings/aversions:  Most food is considered a go now.
What I miss:  Getting up easily.
What I am looking forward to:  Endrit feeling Marsi kick him for the first time!
Milestones:  Viability.  There is an okay chance of survival after 23 weeks.  BUT, Marsi, please stay put for now!
Symptoms:  Braxton-Hick's contractions.  They are getting stronger, more apparent, and seemingly more frequent.
