Pregnancy Journal: 23 Weeks!

Rissa is too sweet and gives the “baby” hugs and kisses. It’s hard to get a picture of her doing this with my bump but it’s adorable. However she’s not understanding that she can’t be climbing my bump! Knees and elbows and too much pressure smooshing down hurts!

I tried to hold her hand to my belly the other day to feel him kicking, but no luck yet. He’s getting stronger but still hard to detect on the outside. I’m really hoping to share his movements with someone else. Brian never really felt Rissa move since she’d stop whenever I would signal him to come over!

Now that my bump is a bit more obvious to others, I thought it’d be fun to wear this…

Recently I learned about gender clue jewelry while on IntelliGender’s website. I never knew about these when I was preggers before but wish I had! I’ve been wearing this clue bracelet that baby #2 is a boy. Most people don’t know what it is so it’s a fun conversation starter!

IntelliGender also donates $1 to the March of Dimes for each. Any gender bracelet sold!

Now hopefully my next ultrasound confirms we are indeed having a baby boy!

Have you ever heard of gender clue jewelry before?

Disclosure: I received the bracelet for review. No other compensation was received. I hope to get some better pictures of me wearing it!

Thank you! And I really can't wait to see how she does with the baby. I'll probably melt from the cuteness lol

Awww my lil ones love hugging and kissing my belly too! I really need to try to get a picture too. And I love that bracelet - never heard of them before and will definitely have to check that out.

The bracelets are such a cute idea! I think it's awesome that she's already loving on her baby brother. Hopefully her excitement just keeps growing! :)

I thought they were pretty cute and could be used for a fun gender reveal too!

I can't wait to hear how she loves on her baby brother!

Those bracelets are really cool--they come out with so many neat things!

I hope she doesn't smother him too much! I don't want to scold her for being too loving - of course I'll have to find a gentle redirection. There are lots of fun things out there now that making pregnancy fun and unique, I think. Some are kinda gimmicky while others are sweet. I'd save the bracelet in his baby book I think :)

That is a super cute bracelet idea! Mine were surprises (I tried with the first, but we were told girl and had a boy, so it was a surprise too!) My girls are 14 months apart and because of surgery complications when I was pregnant with the 3rd I slept in the recliner. But just as soon as I could hold the second, she slept cuddled to my belly for about 5 months! Funny thing is she never has been cuddly since her sister came out! Those are precious memories to treasure, your little one loving the baby in belly!

I just can't do surprises with this for some reason! It really is adorable to see kids loving baby bumps!
