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!

Gender:  Girl

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

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?

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 :)
