23 Weeks

Time has really gotten away from me over the last few weeks. I can’t believe that I am now 23 weeks.

Some Updates:

The Baby- On April 2nd I started feeling little flutters and then a few days later I felt a tiny little thump. It was such an amazing experience, one I do not think I will forget it. On the 7th we had our return ultrasound appointment. Everything went really great and Jennifer (the tech) was able to get all of the measurements and pictures that she needed. I can’t believe how big he has gotten just in the past 3 weeks. We were able to get another 3D picture and you can really see his little button nose. It is such an amazing experience to see your baby while he is still inside of you. I am thankful for the technology that we have today. I know women have been having babies for thousands of years, but I can’t imagine going 40+ weeks and not really knowing what is going on inside. Well that is really all that has been going on in regards to the baby.

The Pregnancy- Things are going good. I have entered the heartburn stage. There have been a few days that have been really bad, but luckily it just comes and goes in quick waves..thankfully! TMI ALERT: Having to go pee all the time is a serious pain in the butt! Seriously, every 2 hours at night I wake up to go pee. Is this God’s way of preparing for the nightly feedings?? So much for “getting as much rest as you can before the baby arrives!” Other than things are still going good.

Physical Therapy- This has definitely been a positive thing. The pain in my back is now about a 4 and it is at least tolerable. The 2 therapists that I have been working with have been great. Water therapy is amazing and it is relaxing.
Well that is really all I can think of for now. Thank you to everyone for your prayers!
Lots of Love!
