Movement

I don't know if it's because I don't have an anterior placenta this time, or what, but MAN I can feel this baby moving in a way that I haven't felt a baby move before, or certainly not the last two.  It's super fun and I really like it this time because seriously, all day will go by and I am thinking of nine million other things and I forget to think about the baby.  So then it's night time and I have my ice cream or whatever and then bam!  bam!  bam!  I feel myself being kicked from the inside and I think, I know you are there.  I know you and I love you already!  You're my favorite!  Just because I don't think and fret and worry about every second of this pregnancy, I know you're there.  You're my best sleeper and my quietest baby.  Let's keep it that way.

23 Weeks

In just a month or so, I'll be in the third trimester.  Doesn't that sound good?  DELIVERY sounds better, but we take what we can get.  I did fine at the doctor the last time, we had our 20 week ultrasound and everything looked good, the tech said.  I saw my doctor for the last time until I am 28 weeks.  She had a baby girl. .. I guess last week or the week before.  She was SUPER pregnant when I saw her.  It blows my mind that she'll be back at work less than eight weeks after she has her third.  I couldn't do it but I don't have medical school student loans to pay, either.  Anyway, all's well.

Necklace

After I have this baby I want to get a mother necklace, I really like this kind.  This is just in case anyone, like the children's father, ever wants to get me a gift.  I do not believe in the horribly named 'push presents', but I do believe in presents.  It's nice, right?
