I feel like I am way behind on this little family blog. I haven't done as good as I wanted to with taking a weekly picture and I'm hoping to correct that from here on out. Here I am at 23 weeks...let's just hope the heat is making me look so swollen!
The bump is definitely bigger, but I'm trying not to let myself worry about it. As long as my doctor's happy, I'm happy.
I'm still feeling pretty good, although by the end of the day if I'm been doing a lot, my feet and ankles are pretty swollen. I haven't really been craving anything lately other than sweet tea (which I really try to limit) and apple juice...both of which I never really drank a lot before I was pregnant. We finally decided on a name and I went a little overboard buying some things for Ellie Grace this weekend when I went to Birmingham to visit my sister, brother in law, and sweet niece. We went to the Carter's Outlet and I couldn't help myself! She is a lucky little girl already because her cousin, HC, has let her borrow all of her baby clothes and keeps giving her more fun stuff.
My mom went with me to Birmingham, and when we were there, we all took a trip to
Steel City Pops. If you live in Birmingham, or are in the area, you have to go to Homewood and try them. They are so good and made of all natural ingredients, so they're good for you. Definitely a good treat to cool off!

| Ready for her 'poppy' |

| Trying the green apple...I'm sure everyone thought we were all crazy because we all tasted each other's popsicle! |
 |
| Yummy! |

| Peach, Coconut, Green Apple, Strawberry Balsamic, and Watermelon |
We liked them so much, we all got one to go for later at home! Next time, I really want to try the sweet tea flavor!
I have a doctor's appointment Tuesday, along with my glucose test, so I'm really hoping all goes well with my blood pressure this time and that I don't fail the glucose test and have to take the 3 hour one. Hopefully this week we're also going to look at houses...say a little prayer that we'll find something soon :).
