Pregnancy Journal: 23 Weeks

I have been bad about Journaling lately. I have been so busy. But can’t complain too much, I have been feeling pretty good. Food is less of an enemy now that my appetite has increased, and there are certain foods I want more than others. I have been eating an entire watermelon every week by myself! I can just sit there and eat and eat and eat it until it’s all gone. I’ve also been on this Italian food kick, not the dominos (gag me now) pizza, but like the Italian restaurant pizza, and salads….Mmmm. But other than that, there isn’t much I want to eat. It is tricky eating out (especially fast food), it’s all so gross to me, unless its salad of course. Nothing tastes the same anymore. It is sad.

On a happy happy note I have been feeling Josiah move a lot more lately. Most of the time, I can look down and see my stomach move (not the stomach shift from side to side, or the hand pressed into the stomach wall or anything) just a bumping. It’s really neat. I keep telling Kenny I think he will be a worship leader. The boy goes nuts during worship at church or if I listen to it loud in the car. It is so funny! He may be getting hiccups on occasion also, because I will feel the same repetitive bumping in the same exact spot for a couple minutes. It actually woke me up the other day! It makes me seriously wonder what he’s doing in there, I guess he has to stay busy some how (just like his mamma!).

Sleeping has been becoming more difficult. My back has been making it hard to stay asleep at night. And yes I have been using a lot of pillows. On occasion if it’s real bad I will take one Tylenol pm, but I don’t like doing it; so typically just suffer through it. I’ve also been getting swelling in my hands and feet. I had to take off my wedding band this last weekend, when we sized it before we got married I left the engagement ring ½ size bigger than the wedding band for this reason alone (pregnancy). So let’s hope I won’t have to take off my engagement ring too.

Next week is our monthly check up. I will leave an update. For now we are planning on going to register for the baby soon. We have been putting it off. And we still need to paint the room, along with a few other things. My Grandma and Aunt have been asking when we want to get the nursery furniture delivered, so we better get on that baby room soon! We are blessed beyond belief! We decided on the theme we want his room to be, and the bedding. I will attach a pic. The colors are blue and brown; it has stripes and a little bit of plaid in the bedding with puppies. It is called Handsome at babies r us: http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3472228 it’s so cute!
