Week 23

Week 23 Belly Shot

Feeling pretty good? Turn on the radio and sway to the music. With her sense of movement well developed now, your baby can feel you dance. Those dainty fetal movements have progressed to karate kicks. You may even be able to see your baby squirm underneath your clothing. You may notice throughout your pregnancy that some symptoms subside while others surface. These days, for example, you may find that any tension headaches you'd been getting are a thing of the past, but your feet may start to swell soon. (Time to get out your roomiest, most comfy shoes or invest in a new pair.)

Well...another week is here! I cannot believe how fast this pregnancy is going! Soon it will be over with. Baby is moving about, I enjoyed the ultrasound this past Wednesday. Still have to post those photos of baby's profile and head. Too cute. Can you tell I am so proud. I have been getting this familiar, weird ache under my ribcage in the right side. I have had this with every pregnancy. I definately look and feel pregnant now. Baby moves about, but is very gentle so far. We will see if that pattern continues or not. Other than that, tired. Hard to get to sleep, and I try my best to gett comfy. Worth it though. I am so excited to meet this baby, but I am not ready yet. I still have lots to do!!

I have been nesting. Cliff came home the other day, and I had the elements out of the stove top, and washing the rings and pans. I organized his drawers...and cleaned out his closet. Trying to prepare. Next it is time to pick out paint for Cameron's room, and paint that, and the bathroom. Also get the crib out of the garage/dresser too. Need to talk to my cuz about getting the little boy stuff back so I can prepare for either sex baby. I have all of the girl stuff here. Lots to do, but it is not like I haven't done this before. I can do it. I want to do it. I want to be prepared.

Oh yeah...today I went to try on my cream coloured cords that I purchased in my first tri, and I couldn't fit the pants past my thighs...I say GIRL...I know everybody thinks boy. I think girl for today! I cannot get the tune of Sweet Caroline out of my head today.

That is it for now!
