Week 22/23

 

This is week 22/23 blog.  Apparently throughout the summer I'm only going to get one done every other week.  Time is flying! I hit week 23 and only realized it because the baby bump app reminded me on my phone!  

I"m working at the gas station this summer, because let's face it, who really wants to sit and do nothing all summer? Ha..... It's going well though.  Yesterday was so super hot I had my first swelling of the feet and ankles experience.  We went out to the lake to cool off after I got off work so that was nice.  

Everything is going great on our end.  We didn't get a house in town we were wanting to rent but we have a few other options out there so not all is lost.     

 



Picture...Week 23



I'm really feeling this baby girl kick.  She's getting big and making it hard for me to breath sometimes, especially if I'm sitting.  I can really feel her moving around in there a lot.  I can't wait until Jason gets to feel.  I have a doctor appointment coming up July 3rd and we will get to see her again.  I can't wait to meet little Kolbi in person.  That day can't come soon enough! 

Mom and I went and got some baby stuff this past week from a girl I went to school with.  It was so exciting to finally have some things she will be using and weird at the same time, kind of a reality check.  I was looking through clothes and told mom, I know I'm fatter but I still can't really believe I'm going to have a baby here in a little over 3 months!  Still hard to believe but so exciting! 

I've only gone through a couple days of really hot weather and let me tell you it's no fun.  I will plan better next time and not be pregnant or at least this pregnant during the summer months every again if I can help it!

How many weeks?  23

Gender:  Girl

Size of baby:  11.5 in or the size of large mango?? 

 

Weight of baby:  1.1 lb....that's right we have hit 1 pound!

Belly Button in or out?  In

Wedding rings on or off?  On

Mood:  Anxious

Sleep: Needing lots of it!

Stretch marks?  Nope, not yet

Maternity clothes?  I'd say yes, it's official.  5.5 months pregnant...I'm in them, minus a couple pair of gym shorts I can still squeeze in to.    

Favorite thing this week: Time at the lake with friends.  Jason finally got to go hang out at the lake and the weather was great!  We had a really great weekend.   

Movement?  She’s moving!  I can feel her frequently.  I can’t wait until Jason can feel her on the outside.

Food Cravings?   hmmm......nothing new really.  Popcycles....is that how you spell that? 

Symptoms:  some unnecessary heartburn!  Not liking that!  

Labor signs?  No

Anything make you sick?  No

Miss anything? I really missed not being pregnant this past weekend while all my friends were having fun and being silly at the lake......it will all be worth it though....... 

Looking forward to anything?  The weekend after the 4th we get to go to Omaha and spend a weekend by the pool with the family.  I'm getting excited to get the house situation in lock down so I can put all my baby stuff up and get her little room ready.  I've got some cute stuff picked out for her!  I'm trying not to rush the rest of the summer, I'm not ready for school to start yet but September brings a baby shower and October brings a baby so I am kind of rushing summer just a bit :)

This is week 20/21 blog.  Everything has been so crazy I haven’t had time to sit down and write anything.  I have started working at the gas station a little for mom and last Thursday we had a doctor’s appointment.  This past weekend I worked, helped a friend move and had family dinner Sunday night.  I haven’t stopped moving since I got out of school.  Today is the first day it actually feels like summer.  It’s about time.  School is going to be starting again before the weather allows us to do anything outside.  It just keeps raining!

Here's the picture....Week 21

Ok so our about our doctor appointment……This was 21 weeks so we got to have another sonogram.  Jason was hoping for boy parts this time but against his hoping and praying, she is still a little baby girl.  Thank goodness! She is perfect.  Everything is developed great.  She is very proud of her feet.  That’s about the only thing she would let us look at very long and man does she kick those things around.  She moves like a crazy woman in there!  She wouldn’t let us see her profile and something else I can’t remember so we get to have another sonogram next appointment as well.  They said my placenta is low so I would have to have another sonogram to check on that anyway and if it doesn’t stretch out or move I will have to have a C-Section.  Jason doesn’t think he can handle the blood and surgery from that so we are hoping things work out and I can deliver normally.  Unfortunately my insurance is not covering all of these sonograms until I meet my deductible so thanks little Kolbi for not letting us see your pretty face and charging me another $150.00 so we can make sure you have a nose J

Ok, I can't get the stupid things to rotate so they are all sideways....the one on the left is her foot, knee, leg, toes pointed down.  the one on the right is her arm, elbow, hand and it appears she's sucking her thumb. Hopefully she will let me have a picture of her face after the next appointment.  She either looked directly at us or faced toward my back so we couldn't see her.  Being shy I guess. 

Everything else is going wonderfully.  We are getting really excited for her to be here.  I am getting bigger and bigger, not all that fun but I’m enjoying feeling her moving around in there.  I’m a little over half way there.  October will be here before we know it.  Everybody keeps asking me if I’m excited and I am but I feel like we have so much to do before she gets here that I haven’t really let myself get excited for her to get here yet.  I have to get ready for her first!  The last couple months I know I’ll be so excited I won’t be able to stand it.

How many weeks?  21

Gender:  Girl

Size of baby:  10.5 in or the size of a banana

Weight of baby:  12.7 oz

Belly Button in or out?  In

Wedding rings on or off?  On

Mood:  Happy.  Trying to enjoy every moment!

Sleep: great

Stretch marks?  Nope, not yet

Maternity clothes?  Not a lot yet.  Bailey gave me some shorts of hers from when she was pregnant so those have been getting me through work.  

Favorite thing this week: Officially summer vacation.  Getting things ready for our garage sale this weekend, June 14.  I have a few days off from the gas station so I’ll be able to get some things done at home and rest for the first time since school got out. 

Movement?  She’s moving!  I can feel her frequently.  I can’t wait until Jason can feel her on the outside.

Food Cravings?  Mexican food, spicy food, though I’m starting to get some heartburn.  Still eat a lot of cereal!  We should have stock in lucky charms.    

Symptoms:  nothing really.  My body hurts worse after working and standing on my feet all day than it ever has but that’s normal I’m sure. 

Labor signs?  No

Anything make you sick?  No

Miss anything? Not really….I mean I don’t really go do much because I’m tired by about 9:00 so I guess I miss my social life a little this week, especially with it being summer but I’m pretty happy with giving things up for baby. 

Looking forward to anything?  Father’s day this weekend.  My next doctor’s visit is July 3^rd, Jason can’t go so mom is going with me.  Then we will leave and go to Omaha for the weekend after the 4^th, hopefully it’s warm enough to swim up there on this visit.  We are looking for a place to move into that’s bigger than this tiny apartment.  I’m excited we haven’t killed each other or a dog yet but once we find a place to move to I will be so excited I won’t be able to control myself.  We need more room!  A baby room and a yard for the dogs!  It’s driving me nuts!

Jason started running his own route at work and he loves it so that puts everyone in a better mood J
