Yay!  4 1/2 more weeks of being pregnant.  2 1/2 more weeks of work (that’s another post for another day!).  I’m so excited.  Partially because I am just not a happy pregnant person.  I feel bad – I bitch, I moan, I whine, I complain.  But in the end it’ll all be worth it.   I know this.  The end is in sight.  Thankfully this has been a fairly uneventful pregnancy, and aside from the getting up to pee 10x’s a night and the shooting pain that doesn’t seem to want to leave my hips I’m doing OK.   And believe me I’m grateful for that.

Caitlin is excited – she has to “kiss the baby” multiple times in a day – it’s really very sweet.  I only hope she is as excited about the baby when she gets here.

23 weeks – wow.  Time is flying.  Hopefully it’ll fly a little faster and it’ll be May.  Life is going well, and other than the normal pregnancy complaints, I really can’t complain.  I’ve been healthy, and haven’t had any of the problems pop up that I had when I was pregnant with Caitlin.

We found out a couple weeks ago we’re having a girl.  Honestly, I’m very excited.  I really didn’t have a preference on sex, and I suppose that sounds odd to some.  Having a boy would have been awesome, but having a girl is just as awesome!

I’ve done a good job of not buying anything – wondering how long I can hold out and resist.  There’s such cute stuff out there.

I’m almost 1/2 way through this pregnancy.  It seems strange, time is flying.  I’m getting to the point where I need maternity clothes.  Not sure how I feel about that.   I’m entering the part of pregnancy I have never really enjoyed before – the getting bigger, back hurting, leg cramping part.  But the good news is that in 24 weeks I’ll have a little baby.  That in itself is so awesome and overwhelming all at the same time!

I’ve been fortunate – for the most part I have been feeling pretty good.  No morning sickness, just exhausted and moody.  Hrm…doesn’t seem too far off normal – pregnancy has just exaggerated this!
