23 week belly

In honor of the warmer weather (we've had three days in a row of almost 70 degree weather), I've decided that maternity capri pants and shorts are a must. Today I crammed myself into a pre-pregnancy pair of capris and am wearing them unbuttoned with a bella band. The belly is on the move and seems to be growing by the week!

I'm up 11 pounds total and don't see an end in sight. I seem to be following the standard of 1 pound per week after twenty weeks. I have 17 more weeks to go and hopefully only 17 more pounds to gain! For the first time, a friend this week told me that at least now I look pregnant and not just that I had put on a few pounds! I guess that's a good thing :)
