23 weeks

Well...we have hit the 23 week mark - which also means we are into our 6th month! I can't believe how fast time moves. I say that every week - but its just so crazy to think that in a few short months we will have a daughter.

Still no kicks from Miss Delainey - we had our monthly check up on Monday and everything seems to be going well. I was a little less than pleased with our Midwife during the appointment, I think she may have been having a bad day, but she seemed distracted and as if she didn't now much about our pregnancy. For example - she asked me about my back and how the back pains were going - which she also asked about at the last appointment and to which I told her both times, that as long as I work out - I don't get back pains and that I really haven't had them (outside of the day I tweaked my back getting dressed) in months. She also asked if I had felt any movement or kicking yet - to which I said, no not yet and as she looked at me strangely - I said, the Ultrasound Tech said that I have an anterior placenta and that is probably why I was not feeling anything. She then explained to me what an anterior placenta was - and I wanted to stop her and say...Yes I know...I do my research. In all, the appointment went fine - just a little annoyed at the lack of attention that we got this time - but it is what it is, it happens to everyone and we are just hoping that next time it goes in a different direction.

Our next appointment is April 18, which is also the start of our 3rd Trimester. I have to go in the week prior to our appointment so that I can do my blood glucose level test - I have heard so many bad things about this test, mostly about the stuff you have to drink - but I am sure I will tough it out!

Life as far as Delainey knows it is going well. We play music for her and Mike and I talk to her every night.

The other night, after I had already gone to bed, Mike came to bed and started reading the "What To Expect" book that I had fallen asleep reading. When he climbed into bed, he woke me up. I fell asleep with a smile on my face because I thought it was so cute that he is reading the book. I have heard from several people that during your pregnancy and once you have a child - you find new ways to fall in love with your spouse all the time - and I am finding it to be very true...it really is the little things that touch your heart the most and make you fall in love all over again.

Happy 23 weeks...cheers to 17 more as good as this!
