I can't believe week 23 is already here. This pregnancy has flown by and I'm shocked that month 6 is upon us so soon!! These last couple weeks have brought a new side to pregnancy that I haven't experience thus far. I've been so blessed by such an easy pregnancy that I have absolutely no reason to complain, just journaling about the progress.
This week has brought me to my knees.... literally. I am uncomfortable from sitting all day at work and end up standing the last hour of work usually because my tailbone is in so much pain. Then, my feet hurt from standing so by the time I get home, I usually kneel or lay down. Ha! Here's a photo of a massage in progress. My belly fits perfectly between his knees but seeing the picture of how we look is quite comical!!
Luke is saying that I'm growing daily now. My belly button is almost flat with my stomach which is funny because I've always had quite a deep cavern in there! I keep looking at it because I just can't believe it's MINE.
My mood has leveled off quite a bit. Although I'm tired more often, there have been far less tears the last couple weeks than early in my pregnancy.... Hubby says, "You haven't been as weepy lately". He sure has a way with words!
Since I have light skin, I wasn't expecting a linea negra to appear. However, I have been blessed with a "linea hairzza" as my husband calls it. No need for a picture to explain that one :)
Acne has been a big part of this pregnancy. To be down right honest, I popped a zit in my armpit today. After I got over the initial freak out, my mom just said "those silly hormones". I couldn't have said it better!
This is the first week that a stranger has asked about me being pregnant. I could have hugged her because I was soooo excited! Makes me wonder though, what the heck have I looked like for the last 22 weeks?!?
Hubby and I went on a little lunch date yesterday. We took a couple pictures before we left but this was the only cute one worth posting:
Saturday brings a baby shower at our house for my sweet friend Ariana and Baby Sederquist. Next Tuesday is our 24 week appt and my mom is coming along to meet our little girl for the first time. I'm so excited that she gets to experience it with us. It's been so fun having my parents here to see me with this tummy and feel Chloe kick. I should have counted how many times I've heard "I just can't believe my baby is having a baby".
Luke - can you teach me that back rubbing technique?
