23 Weeks Update

Last week we hit the 23 week mark and I continue to feel really great. Baby girl is now moving a lot and her kicks and thumps are getting stronger. Scott was able to feel her move for the first time last weekend. Sometimes I can even see her kicking on my belly! Speaking of my belly, it is growing and growing and I love it!
Here is a shot at 21 weeks! This was taken at work, after I ate lunch and a few Tim Horton's donuts for dessert!

Over the past few weeks Scott and I have been hard at work preparing Baby Girl's room for her arrival. Our guest room (which was also a bit of a storage room) will now be Baby's room. We had a lot of cleaning and relocating to do, but it is mostly all done now. Next we will work on refinishing two dressers we will be used for nursery furniture. We are also working on scheduling a weekend for my parents to come visit us and help paint Baby's room and complete some other odd-and-ends projects around the house.

In the past few weeks I have also managed to start a registry at both Target and Babies-R-Us; although neither is complete. We found some bedding we like and have decided on a nursery theme. But we still need to decide on some of the more important items, like a carseat.

I had my six month check-up last week and the midwife says that Momma and Baby Girl are doing well. The midwife measured me for the first time at this appointment and I am on track for the original due date they gave me, February 12th. I have been saying February 7th based on the initial ulstrasound we had as part of the study and based on our IUI timing, but I am measuring on track based on LMP. So, February 12th it is. This means that my weeks are counted from Saturdays now, not from Wednesdays as I've been doing all along. I guess those doctors really do know what they're talking about! So, this coming Saturday the 22nd I will hit the 24 week mark!
