Today I’m 23 weeks pregnant! Jayden’s still a jitter bug. I have occasional heartburn, sometimes it can be fiery! I’m feeling a little stiff under my rib cage from the belly stretching, other than that I can’t complain! I’ve gotten used to scooting and rolling out of bed. Our scale is missing 3 of the bottom pieces used to balance it, so either I have to find them (hopefully) or buy another scale. Until then, my weight is unknown! Last week I was 114lbs, 9lbs gained. One thing that I’ve noticed is that I have to eat in portions. I find myself feeling so hungry, then I start eating and I feel full quickly. Shortly after I’m hungry again! It’s so frustrating.

Next week I will start reviewing some of my favorite maternity finds. Stay tuned for that. Daddy also has a product review coming up soon!

As of today I am 22 weeks pregnant. I’m 114lbs and Jayden is 1lb 2oz! Jayden’s continuing his normal Gettin’ Jiggy Wit It in my belly. I’m currently enjoying fruit loops cereal and rainbow sherbet (not together). I may go back to my bacon and boiled eggs craving. Some TMI ahead…the prenatals are turning my “relief” weird colors.

Yesterday we had our second doctor visit and all is well. I was advised to start getting some exercise either by walking or swimming. If I get my heart rate going I’ll be physically prepared for additional weight gain and labor will be much easier. There’s one problem, it’s freezing outside! Yesterday was the coldest day ever but we walked around campus since Daddy had to get things sorted out with school. Hopefully it will warm up, when it does we’ll take our dog (Caesar) out with us. If I win this pedometer, walking would because less of a chore and sorta exciting =).

Here is the second set of ultrasounds we received. Jayden had the nerve to shoo away the ultrasound tech when she rolled over him! I guess you should never mess with my baby when he’s sleeping! She had to do a lot of digging in my pelvic area and it tickled so bad! Jayden’s still upside down, how convenient! I hope he stays that way even if his big head is resting on my bladder.

Our next visit is scheduled for January 31st and I will be taking the glucose test. I was told that the liquid would taste like a sugary soda…oh sure it will :-/. *heaves*
