23 weeks and counting...

So I am 23 weeks as of Monday....Had my routine doc appt yesterday and everything was great! Gained 4 pounds for a grand total of 8....I know...8??? I look like I have gained another person!

Baby is moving around like crazy...its so weird but I can tell exactly when she is going to move...its such a cool feeling! I have been feeling pretty good...the groin issues have slightly gone away, which is good!

I had a pinched nerve in my back last week which went all up my neck and down my back...it was AWFUL! I broke down and called the doc because I was in so much pain. They prescribed me some Tylenol 3's w/codeine, which I was VERY apprehensive to take at first...but I figured that since the doc prescribed them, they must be ok. I feel better now...it is still lingering in my back...but no longer in my neck, which was the worst part.

Nursery Pics

Here are a couple pics of the crib with the bedding....the travel system we bought (just the carseat is shown) and the storage thing with the cube inserts we bought in Pink/Brown....Check it out:

Shop till ya drop...literally!

So today I went shopping at the Howell Outlet Mall (Tanger I think) with Missy and Maria. It was fun...nice to get out without the kiddies and just do some good ol shopping! As I get bigger it has become hard for me to walk a lot....my groin area KILLS when I walk alot and I get these pains in my lower abdomen...OUCHIE wah wah! OH yeah and my feet/legs hurt too! I am so out of shape its unreal....I suppose that having a job that requires you to sit on your ass all day isnt the best form of exercise but hey, what do ya do? Just watching people walk on TV wears me out...so imagine actually doing it, lol! Anyway, got a TON of clothes for the little peanut today! Not nearly enough for a whole wardrobe, but a good start! When Missy dropped me back off to my car, I thought that since the kids were at my moms and the hubby went up north...that I was going to go back to Lansing and go to Babies R us.....I love that store! I ended up buying this:

I loved it when I saw it online but they were out of stock...so I checked the store and they had a ton! OH and I got the CUTEST little outfit...check it out!

Awww...its a newborn size to hopefully it fits...I am sure the shoes will be too big because they always are!

20ish weeks

Here is the long awaited belly shot... See...I said I was big! You'd think I had octopulets in there...LOL....oh lord! Actually I just ate not too long ago and I am really full...so that makes me look bigger....but STILL!

Holy Fricken About Time...

So it is official....its aNOTHER little Girl! I am having a prayer service for Bobby...hope you can join us! LMAO

Oh good Lord!

So I went in for my 20 weeks u/s today (well I will be 20 weeks on Monday)....and wouldnt ya know it...they couldnt tell AGAIN! I am having the worst luck! First the baby was laying on its belly so then the tech told me to go to the bathroom and walk around the hall for a few minutes...so I did. I came back and the baby was then laying on its back but still has legs straight out and crossed at the calves...so its thighs were basically squeezing its little parts. She said that she thought it was a girl..only because from the angle she was looking she should have been able to see boy parts IF it was a boy and she couldnt...so her best guess was a girl! At this point...I would take a damn puppy...I just want to know what it is, LOL! So I am going to talk to Nic's mom again to see if I can come bug her again because I am so damn impatient that I cant take this whole "not knowing" stuff! So maybe I can go in and see Laura on Tuesday morning....lets hope she can tell this time! I am not taking anyone with me....just myself...maybe thats what the baby wants??? Who knows...I am out of answers!

Ok well I guess I will write again when I have some actual news to report~

Almost 19 weeks....

I will be 19 weeks on Monday....man, almost half way over! It actually has gone by pretty fast! Although I am still very anxious to know what this little stinker is...I have decided to just give up! Maybe if I act like I dont care then the baby will show us its stuff at my next u/s??? Hey, its worth a shot, lol!

I have been feeling pretty good! No nausea since like week 10, but I still have a migraine daily...nothing new really...I had those pre-pregnancy as well! I had my monthly doc visit yesterday and I gained 3 pounds....I think I have gained a total of maybe 5 so far...I feel like I have gained more, lol! Everything looked great...well sounded great I should say...they just really listen to the heartbeat.

I am feeling movement 3-4 times a day....had a little poke as I typed that too, lol! Its not fluttering anymore...its pretty strong...not quite strong enough to feel outside my stomach, but it feels strong to me.

My friend, Kristyn, just had her baby last night...he is so stinkin cute! He is just a little guy...6 lbs 5 oz....nothin to him! So needless to say I was a little jealous that she was having her baby and I have like 20 more weeks to go!
