Our Baby Girl: Week 23

This pregnancy is going by so fast!  I still feel great, besides the fact that when I bend down I am starting to notice that it is not overly comfortable.  I think I may grunt when I do it sometimes because Colin started bending down one day and does this funny grunt.  He was doing it when he was putting his toys away before story time.  Cracked us up!  Then I realized he was probably mimicking me.  Being mocked by a 3 year old who does not even understand the concept!  I have also noticed that I am getting a little more forgetful.  I have to take detailed notes at work so I remember everything I need to do.  I am glad I have worked with these people for a while so they know I am not always like this.  At work the other day I wrote my initials on my food, put the pen in the fridge and my food in the drawer.  I also walked out of my office two times in a row and forgot where I was going to go.  The second time I went into a friend's office to "chat" just so I did not look like an idiot!  I am losing it!

Baby Girl's bedding came in the mail the other day!  It is so cute.  Her room was originally going to be pink and yellow (with yellow walls) but now that I have seen the bedding I am going to use yellow and green (still yellow walls).  It will be more me and it will be so cute!  There will be some pink thrown around in the mix I am sure but my favorite color is green and the two together are so cute.  Still girlie though!  The bedding is Winnie the Pooh and I want to mix in bumble bees (the bedding has them on it as well).  I think I want the curtains to have bumble bees and the mobile.  I want to use Winnie-the-Pooh characters but not an overwhelming amount. 

I am in love with the store Pumpkin Patch.  The girl styles are more me than some other stores I have been to.  I made Will and Colin go there with me today. 

Something I did differently this pregnancy was join a pregnancy site.  A couple of friends of mine had heard of it and my doctor even knew about it.  So, a few of my friends and I joined together.  I love it!  I only have one or two friends with kids near me and none that are currently pregnant so it is nice to meet and chat with ladies going through the same stuff.  It is broken up by weeks in the pregnancy forum and months in the baby forum.  So you get to follow the same ladies through the whole process!  I am so glad I joined. 

Well, the rest is the same old as each week.  I eat a lot but still try to keep my normal 6 small meals a day routine.  I have increased the amount of food each meal compared to before I was pregnant but it works out well.  I may have also added a meal (snack) in there!  I have still not gained to much from my pre-pregnancy weight.  I weighed the other morning and it was 3 lbs so I am guessing maybe 4 now.  I did lose 10 lbs the first few months so if you count that then I have gained 14 which sounds good!
