Weeks 22 and 23!

So We are busy and i got behind so we will do two weeks at once. Pretty much to highlight the past couple of weeks...
We made a trip to see the family and celebrate CJ's (Brads oldest nephew) graduation from high school. It was a lot of fun. We were even able to make a quick stop to visit Eli, Mason, and KinKin on the way home. The kids are almost always thrilled to see their auntie so it was of course a nice visit. And we even managed to do a mini photo shoot while we were with the family. I am hoping to use those pictures for baby shower invites. Ill post a little preview. 
Other than that we have pretty much just staying busy managing our careers and daily lives. Oh and searching for daycare...which i still find to be incredibly overwhelming because there are SO many options.
 

 And of course Kaya had to be part of the photo shoot!

And heres my 22 Week picture!

How many weeks: 23 weeks and 3 days

This week baby is the size of a.....My app has stopped putting fruit comparisons in..So we are switching sources. The bump.com say grapefruit! Approximately10.5- 12.5 inches in length
This week our baby weighs..... Approximately 1 pound. I would say she is probably a little over 1 pound since she was a little ahead of the computer estimates on ultrasound. 
This week  baby girl......Can have dreams! crazy. 
 Boy or girl? GIRL!!!
Total weight gain/ loss: +13 ish.
Showing: yep
Maternity Clothes: I can still wear a few pairs of my normal pants if i use a hair band looped through my button hole.. lol. However, i do love my maternity capris. They are super comfy and look nice, plus the show my belly off a little more. So i wear those pretty much all the time. And i finally invested in a belly band so i can try to prolong my normal pants, however i am growing quickly now and im not sure that it will help much. 
Best moment this week: I definitely think the best moments in the past two weeks have been being able to feel her move. She gets stronger all the time and brad has been able to feel/see her move on my belly. Its pretty cute. 
Have you told family/ friends: i think most people know at this point!
Food cravings: Always sweets, i wouldn't really blame that on pregnancy though. I have a HUGE sweet tooth and i think i am just more susceptible to giving in to my desire to eat sweets now.
Miss anything?: Sushi!!everything else i have seemed to find an adequate substitute for but nothing can replace sushi!
Anything making you sick: Not much anymore. 
Pregnancy symptoms: just a growing belly
Movement: yep. 
Gender prediction: It's a Girl!
We call our baby:  Adrienne Elizabeth Gochnauer is her name! We often refer to her as baby girl also.
Looking forward to: My baby shower that work is throwing this weekend. It should be a lot of fun. 
Soon to be daddy is.... loving his baby girl! He seems to be embracing my little girl clothing obesessions and is definitely super interested in discussing Adriennes future sports plans. If you dont get a boy first just hope for an athletic girl right? lol. 
And last images.. some better shots of adrienne!

Until Next Week,
