23 Weeks

So I figured it's about time to do a pregnancy update. I am now part way into my 23rd week and starting month 6 of being pregnant. Here's a picture from after church on Sunday.


With the 2nd trimester, I've found that I've felt tired a lot more than sick and I'm definitely okay with the difference. A couple of recent developments are: I now know what heartburn feels like, people now notice that I'm pregnant because they can see the bump, and I have now experienced seeing a book I was reading and balancing on my stomach bounce around a bit because the baby was kicking it - that was weird and pretty funny.

We're getting close to picking our baby's first name and have narrowed the choices so far to 3. I told Derrick yesterday that I'm becoming pretty attached to one in particular so he needs to speak now or forever hold his peace because I most likely won't change my mind.

Last Friday I had one of the regular doctor visits and found out that everything is going along as it should. I'm growing on schedule and the heartbeat sounds good. We've been very blessed to have a complication free pregnancy so far and I really hope it stays that way! Lately, I've also been realizing that there are so many things I need to learn about how things will happen at the end of this whole process. I think I'll sign up for a prenatal class or something.

I think that since I'm the first one to write on this post, you should probably tell me what your three names are. Or better yet, what name you are feelin! BWaHAHA. I can keep secrets...I promise! :) Heartcha! XOXO

I totally recommend a birthing class. I loved mine! And even though most of it was review (since I'd already read "What to expect when you're expecting" all of the way through) it was nice to get a refresher course.

Man. It's people like you and Kara who make me not want to post pictures of my belly, you skinny jerks. I'm glad everything is going well for you (minus the heartburn, of course). And does your boy like to start his kickboxing routine right as you lay down to bed (regardless of what time it is)? Yeah. Mine does.
