Weeks 23 and 24

I am beginning to get a little bit stressed that we have done nothing to prepare for the baby. Actually, that is a lie - I have purchased cloth diapers (various brands and types) so we should have diapers for the first few months but that's it.

I am getting a little antsy to sign up for classes and to buy a crib and such but soon enough - we did do a little crib shopping but nothing bought yet. I really want to start decorating the room but don't even know where to begin. Plus I need to give Jesse a chance to get some stuff done in the basement (he is working on getting stuff ready to start finishing it) before I start pilling more stuff down there :) Oh well - I am sure I will get to start soon enough!

I am definitely getting big now and PIME moves much more (and with much more force). Monday and Tuesday last week the "kicks" (or whatever the movement was) were fairly high on my belly and you could actually see the movement! Crazy! Unfortunately, PIME seems to have changed positions later in the week and has been primarily kicking my bladder lately.

Now for the pictures . . .

Week 23

















Week 24


















One very strange thing that I wish could be seen in the pictures but does not show - is that my belly seemed to drop between week 22 and week 23 (sorry no week 22 picture - we were slacking). During most of week 22 I was carrying much closer to my ribs then all the sudden (around the time Jesse first felt PIME move) my belly seemed to drop much closer to my pelvis. I noticed but thought maybe I was just imaging things but mentioned it to Jesse and he had noticed as well.

All is still going well and I feel pretty good most of the time. I do get overheated really easily it seems which can make me feel a little nauseous but I still feel like it has been a pretty pleasant pregnancy.
