so here i am, this is actually last week...so technically 22 weeks. i'll put another post up this week with my 23 weeks belly.
things have been going well...super normal. no major happenings...just a few bumps in the road:) haha. i crack myself up. ok but really, here is what ive been dealing with/feeling lately.
1. josiah using me as a punching bag and a kickboxing partner. yes, i feel him now more than ever and man is he active. he kills me! sometimes i swear he's just taking ONE finger and WHAM, jamming it into my side. it hurts a little bit:) but other than that im liking him movin around in there. cool to feel. not as cool to feel when he decides to have dance parties as soon as i get into bed. but whatev.
2. my back is killing me. started just my lower back, now its the whole thing. im holding up a lot of weight people! im using a lot of icyhot and acetaminophen lately. and shooting weddings and just regular old photo shoots..well..at the end of it i feel like my back is going to just give out. NICE!!
3. itching. thats all im gonna say.
4. im tired and hungry again, kinda like i was in my first trimester. and more now to do than ever before! thats how it goes i guess.
5. a teensy bit of swelling...i notice it only when i try to stretch or sit on the floor or something...and mostly after a long day at the salon. ahhhh cannot wait for may 29th when there will be no more long days at the salon, or days at the salon period.
thats pretty much the jist! i had an ob appt this morning. his heartbeat is good, 150...this week he weighs just over a pound and is around 11 inches. a growin boy for sure. speaking of growing HELLO so am i. i about had a coronary right on the ob scale this morning. i literally said "holy geez" and the lady laughed at me and said..."you're tiny!". well i'm glad i look it and i dont actually have to wear my weight around on my forehead or anything. Lord have mercy..I would die. ben thinks im silly and duh, im supposed to be gaining weight which DUH i know...its just frightening to see that number. that darn number. grrr. but as long as josiah is good, im golden. :)
i know i said i would post some pics of his room...and i'm getting to it. this weekend i'm going to go ahead and move my office into our bedroom...:( not a huge fan, and ben isnt either but theres no where else for it to go. i need to start painting so thats the first step. ben is sanding down the dresser and is going to stain it black...and here are the anthropologie knobs i bought and are still currently in love with...
arent they MARVELOUS? ahhhh i love anthro. the joy of not buying new baby furniture is getting to buy new knobs:)
so lots to get to before small group..gotta go...here is a list of current baby to-do's. anyone wanna help? lol
1. paint room

Oooh, pretty! I love the furniture knobs. And you better get stoked about the shower! Is the blue you're using in Josiah's room closer to an aqua than a baby blue?
ReplyDeleteI am oh soooo excited! Praying about coming down during our spring break in April. I have dozens of black frames various sizes/shapes. i will look to see if I can locate a PB crib...could you send a pic to my phone soo I can have an excuse to shop?
