23 weeks!

Lots of random updates and other incoherent thoughts on this lovely Friday:

  • I had my 23-week appointment today, and everything looks great. The chicklette's heart was banging away at 146 beats per minute, and just as my OB asked me if the baby had been active, she gave the Doppler a good kick. Cheeky little girl. And in quite possibly the best news of the week, my weight gain is "looking good" -- only 2 pounds this month. Wooohoo!
  • I've been doing a lot of driving to work this week, and have been really enjoying the Pregtastic Pregnancy Podcast. I've learned all sorts of things about epidurals, yoga, sex and traveling while pregnant. If anyone's got time to burn in the car and wants to listen to a bunch of preggos talk about their experiences at different weeks in their pregnancy, there's an hour episode each week that's free on iTunes.
  • We decided for sure to go ahead with the remodel. So now I have 48 hours to figure out what kind of tile we want. I've got no frickin' idea. Oh, and I think we move into my mom's house on Tuesday. Lovely.

Anyway, that's what's going on with the Barefoots. Wishing everyone a wonderful weekend!

HAPPY ICLW!

Glad Chicklette doing all she needs to be doing. And some she shouldn't be doing. I know EXACTLY what you're talking about when you say she kicks on in the tailbone and "other" areas.

Good luck with the remodel and staying with your mom..EEK! Just think "ahhhh TUB"

Congratulations on 23 weeks of pregnancy! That is so exciting! I have been reading your blog and we started ttc about the same time so I'm hoping you rub off on me! :)

I hope the remodel goes right on schedule! I couldn't make it without a tub. Good idea to get it out of the way before Chicklett makes her debut! Congrats on the great 23wk check-up!

Kate said...

Happy 23 weeks! Congratulations!
And ohhhhhhh a tub. Sounds lovely.
I have one but it does not call me. I had one in a past life that was spacious clawfooted perfection. I could entirely submerge in it. Ahhhh a tub. Hope the remodel goes perfectly,

warmly,
kate
