Weeks 21-24 - Late Second Trimester

March 17, 2011 - Week 21

I'm most comfortable sleeping: on my side.

I now get up to pee about 1 time a night.

So far, pregnancy has been a breeze (knock on wood). Only 4 months are left in this part of the journey - I can't believe how quickly time has passed! But, don't worry, the baby's nursery is almost ready - the closet is clean and filled with clothing and shoes... and the bedroom is just about ready for baby to come home.

March 22, 2011 - OB Appointment
(Week 22)

Weight gained: 12.5lb
Baby size: 10.5-11.8", 12.7-20.8oz
Baby heart rate: 136 bpm

Nothing terribly exciting to report this time - the appointment was awesome (as usual). Yay!

March 24, 2011 - Week 22

The little guy is about 4.5 to 5 days larger than his gestational age... baby hasn't slowed down yet. That technically pushes us into week 23... I'm hoping you'll slow down at some point... wow.

I'm feeling baby a lot more now. He's still facing the back... so it's sometimes a little difficult to feel the movements.

The crib has arrived and is assembled! It's so different having baby furniture in the nursery at long last! I had to order a new curtain rod with monkey finials to complete the room. We're currently awaiting their arrival so the valance can finally be hung. Such a lucky little boy; the drawers and closet are absolutely packed with things for him... and he has the best furniture money can buy.

March 31, 2011 - Week 23

The end of the trimester is nearing quickly. Wow... time sure flies by! It's a good thing I'm such a planner... because the baby room is almost completely set up and we're on track in there. :)

April 7, 2011 - Week 24

Vacation is fast approaching... yikes! I've spent so much time getting the room ready for baby... I should really start looking for some things to wear on vacation!
