23 weeks

We’ve been busy lately!  I’m going to write this update in bullet point format.

·        Saturday we went to Soul Night at the Elbo Room – it was so fun to shake my pregnant booty to sweet 60s soul tunes!  Josh was over-the-moon as you can imagine.  We also took some fun pregnancy pics in the photobooth there.  I’ll try to scan them in one of these days.  :)

·        Sunday was the superbowl, aka See How Much a Pregnant Lady Can Eat day.  I succeeded, that’s all I can say.  I brought maple bacon popcorn and caprese skewers, both of which were DELISH.

·        I had heartburn for the first time last week, and once I figured out what it was I was fine, but it was just so uncomfortable at first!  I blame my recent addiction to marinara sauce.  That had to stop at some point…

·        I went to Prenatal Yoga yesterday for the first time yesterday and it was not even close to what I imagined!  I thought it would be a normal yoga class, just with altered positions that are more comfortable for pregnant ladies.  In reality, it was like a birthing class.  Everything we did was preparing us for the birthing process – this week we focused on tuning in to our “animalistic” side which was a little awkward, but I just went with it.  We even went on a guided meditation to find our spiritual animal birthing guide.  Mine’s a wolf – who knew?

·        We had a short burst of warm days last week and it felt SO GOOD to wear shorts!  I’m getting pretty tired of my 2 pairs of maternity pants: black and grey. Bo-Ring.

·        Little baby has been kicking a lot more lately!  Still sporadic though, so it’s hard to time it up so Josh can feel.  Sometimes we sit on the couch with his hand on my belly for a while – I know it will get easier for him to feel as we progress.

·        Tomorrow’s my 6 month check up!  I’m always so excited for those.  :)
