24 Weeks...Here We Come!

So, here I am at the end of my 23rd week!

I'm now officially starting week 24! Overall, I've been feeling pretty good! I feel like I'm huge though! I've been walking Winky about 3x a week for around an hour. The weather has been gorgeous, and I'm enjoying our walks so much!

I am feeling the baby move daily...mostly in the evenings and mornings, and occasionally I'll notice it during the day. I've been waking up between 6 and 6:30am everyday to go to the bathroom. It's kinda weird I think! After going to the bathroom, I almost always feel Baby Smyser give a kick or two, and sometimes I can't get back to sleep, so my sleeping patterns are starting to change.

Josh has felt Baby Smyser move once. The OB reminded me Baby Smyser is only about 1 lb, so, the movement will be getting much stronger over time of course, so I know there will be plenty of time for him to feel movement as the weeks progress. Josh thought it was so crazy when he felt it kick. I think he almost couldn't believe it?!

Last Friday I had a check up, and the OB said I am measuring right at 23 weeks and I'm doing great overall. The heartbeat was nice and strong, and as always, it's so fun to hear! At my next appointment in a month, I'll have the gestational diabetes screening. Ooh fun!

My First Belly Picture!

For the past few weeks, I didn't think I was noticeably showing. I just thought I looked like I ate one too many banana splits. Ha! Well, this week (week 18), I feel like my belly really "popped" out and Baby Smyser decided to make his/her appearance more known to the world. Josh even commented a couple nights ago out of nowhere, "Wow, your belly is huge!" (Probably the only time in my life this comment wasn't followed with me punching him in the face.) I do feel like it's huge...and I know it's just going to get bigger! It's hard to imagine, but very exciting, too!

Overall, I've been feeling pretty good. However, for the past few days I've been fighting a cold that Josh gave me. I still feel pretty yucky, but I hope to feel better soon! This is the second time I've been sick this winter!

Our first ultrasound is Wednesday, only 4 more days! We are beyond excited. As of now, we are still going to find out if it's a boy or girl. I'd actually really like to wait and be surprised, and I try to convince Josh to be surprised everyday, but so far, I am losing that battle. So, I'm trying to communicate to the baby to keeps it's legs crossed all day Wednesday, so we'll see who he/she listens to.

Well, here's the picture.

On the agenda for next week (besides the ultrasound), is finally removing my belly button ring! I've had it pierced for 10 years and have never changed it from the ring it was pierced with. Now, I can't seem to get it out...so...yeah...
