Week 23 and 24


Well, I'm 3 weeks away from entering into my third trimester. I have to say, this pregnancy is now flying by. We've finished painting Porter's room and it looks beautiful. This week I ordered the crib and dresser from Babies R Us. Other than a few more pictures, all we have left to buy is the nightstand and mattress. I've gotten the fabric samples for the glider. I'll have it narrowed down by the next posting. Porter had another Level 2 ultra sound this week. She is 1 pound and 9 nine ounces which is in the 67% percentile. She has a little bit of urine that has collected in her kidneys. The doctor wants me to come back in 4 weeks to make sure its draining properly. Other than that, everything looks great!
I've started getting heartburn this week. About an hour after I eat, my chest and throat start burning. I've eaten tums almost every night. I'm also not sleeping well at all. Just within the last 2 weeks I've finally been unable to lay on my stomach. This is a problem since I am a stomach sleeper. Not only do I use the bathroom every couple of hours, I pop awake randomly during the night. This past week I've noticed that my stomach is heavy when I lay on my back. I'm getting uncomfortable sitting and somehow I always roll over on my back during my sleep...which also wakes me up. So, I guess I'm entering into the stage where everything is starting to get uncomfortable. I know it will only get worse!
I'm up 28 pounds as of Tuesday...so I'm sure its 30 now by Saturday! The stool that I sit on to put on my make up broke completely. A few months ago, Tim had already broken one side of it. All the sudden, as I was putting on my eyeliner today, the whole thing snapped and I rolled out of the closet! I yelped and then laughed hysterically! Too bad no one was here to see it..it was REALLY funny!
I enjoyed my trip to Fl to see Poole and Tybee. She gave me a TON of clothes for Porter. I was able to bring some of them home in my suitcase but she has to mail the other 2 boxes. I can't believe how many outfits she gave me. I'll be sure to take a picture of all of it before I put it away. Thank you Poole!
