Week 23

Wow, I can't believe how far along I am! I haven't blogged for a while so I thought I would really quick.
I am doing great, getting really big! This week has been rough, and the last two days...can I say BACK PAIN! I know there are a lot of you out there with little ones growing inside, are any of you having this pain? Its so bad and yesterday and today I can barely walk. You should see me, its really funny looking. I go to the doctor Monday so maybe he can give me some insight as to what is wrong. But I am guessing its just part of being pregnant. I have heard some people say they get that lower back pain before they go into labor, but I am thinking thats not the case here. Way too early!
But upsides of pregnancy:
  • I am starting to feel him move lots and lots. No major kicks yet but I can definately feel him moving around. It feels so neat. Its nuts to think I have a little baby inside my body!
  • My hair is so healthy it almost drives me nuts because I am not used to having such soft hair. But I do love it. It is way shiny too! Like the Pantene comercials. :)
  • Josh is so sweet with me and making sure I am feeling alright. I think now that my belly is so big he is getting more and more excited. Whenever I refer to my big belly he always corrects me and says its not a big belly its a BABY!
  • I finally have some cute pregnancy clothes to wear thanks to My Grandma and Angie! You feel so much better when you have clothes that actually fit!
  • One thing that has started to happen....swollen feet. Probably not an upside but definately funny looking. Its only happend twice so I am drinking lots and lots of water!
  • Favorite desert....ice cream sandwhiches...I am loving them!

Well I know there are not any pictures but I will get some posted. I need to post about our fun Valentines Day as well.

Oh duh! I have maternity clothes you can have/borrow. Isn't it such a relief when things fit and you don't feel like some fatty with your belly hanging out? When I got new garments I almost cried. If you haven't already yet, get the tops that are extra long. It helps. When can I drop off some maternity clothes???

Crazy!! 23 weeks. I know for you it is not flying but now that you have passed 10 wks it seems like it is flying, probably because I am in school and I am just now realizing it is the end of February :) Glad you write these things down so it is like I am there helping you through it jk. Love ya and miss ya and can't wait to see you in April :)

I am so excited for you! That night we all hung out at your house, like forever ago, I was thinking, I wish some more of our friends had kids. And then you told us! So we are stoked for you guys! I had terrible back pain with Mei. Lyle thinks she was sitting on my sciatic nerve. It started to hurt when I had about three months left. Then when she dropped like two weeks before she was born it stopped hurting. Yeah, I totally know what you are saying about the walking thing! Oh, sorry to talk your ear off, but Lyle would say the same thing about it being a BABY not a belly! Dads sure are cute!

Isn't pregnancy so fun?!? I swear...every day is a new adventure. I had major back pain around the same time. I had to set up bar stools in my kitchen just so i could sit and cook. My doctor told me that it was just because of the weight my protruding belly was putting on my body. I felt like a 90 year old woman. Just do what I did and MILK IT! Get that sweet husband of yours to rub your back...tell Josh I will show him the "real" labor picks if he gives you any lip!
