Trimester Breakdown

One of the joys of pregnancy is trying to figure out how the weeks, months, trimesters all add up. I found a great site today that takes all the guesswork out! I don't think it gets much clearer than that!

The website is baby2see.com

23 Weeks!

So we are at 23 weeks already. How exciting! I have only 17 weeks to go! I am officially in month six, and reality is creeping up on me. I know I have a lot of time to go, but with the holidays coming I feel like time is going to fly by! I mean we are in week 9 of the NFL season already!!! As I said last week, from now on we get a monthly average fruit- but I got this off another gem of a pregnancy website. It looks like another mango but states the baby is now over a pound, and approximately eleven inches long. That is a lot of baby.

I have actually felt her kick a few times from the outside, but so far Mike only caught one kick, at the end, and he wasn't even sure if he felt it. Soon enough. I must say it helps me to not worry as much because she moves so much now that it makes me stress less over, "is she ok?" Anything moving that much is juuuuuuust fine.

I can not believe how close I am to the 3rd trimester already!!!

Does this baby make be look fat??

Well, I am 23 weeks tomorrow, and I look like I am about to give birth.... I am huge, and baffled by the ability of my skin to stretch to this extreme without tearing.

I swear the human body is mind-boggling....

TIME FLIES!

The baby on the ticker is closer to the end than the beginning.... wow.

Belly Button Watch 2009

So here we go, week 4, no change other than my protruding belly!

While You Are Here...

So today I went to the Dr. because I felt like poo, and she wanted to follow up on a few things from our last visit. As I was getting ready to leave, she springs on me, "while you are here, do you have like and hour or so to kill?" I said I guess, thinking she wanted to monitor me or something, and she went on to tell me that because I had not eaten anything, and I was due anyways, it was the perfect time for me to take my 1 hour glucose test.....

Basically you drink this crappy super sweet orange drink (you have to finish it in 5 minutes, I just plugged my nose and gulped it down) and then you sit around for an hour and they draw your blood. I was trapped at the OB's office (you can not leave) with nothing to read except for those crappy free pregnancy magazines that are just full of advertisements for things you don't need. Let's just hope I pass this one, if not I have to take a 3 hour test, which would totally suck. I find out the results sometime next week.

22 weeks

Yay... I am having a hard time getting pumped up for 22 weeks, mainly because i feel totally crappy today. On a good note I got to hear her heartbeat for a while today, it was a solid 152. From now on, we only get a monthly fruit, and I am confused because some charts say I am entering month 6, others say month 5. Either way, this month Nyla is a fat Papaya.
