Week 23

  • Baby and I are still loving Root Beer
  • Experiencing some serious pregnancy side effects like waking up with leg cramps. Also found out I have carpal tunnel - that same day I went out and got a wrist brace - CARPAL TUNNEL = TERRIBLE PAIN.
  • Had one good night of sleep this last week
  • Baby's room is filling up with stuff (not all of it for him or her, I must admit)
  • Really anxious to get to the next ultrasound, proud of myself for being patient so far
  • While gardening on Saturday, my assignment was rock removal on the tractor - think Baby liked the movement!
