I am now over 23 weeks pregnant! More than half way there! I really haven't had much to complain about during my pregnancy so far. I was very lucky not to have morning sickness. I have some general back and hip pain, but I had some of that before I was pregnant so I'm used to it. I've had heartburn/reflux a lot more frequently but I just keep some antacids in m y purse and I'm good to go. I'm just now getting to the point where I have difficulty getting up from low seats or rolling over in bed. I can only imagine how much harder it will get over the next four months.
I've started to feel a tiny thump inside my tummy every now and then in the past few days. The doctor told me that I have an anterior placenta, which might cause me to take longer than most people to begin feeling her kick. At 22 weeks, I was beginning to worry that I would never feel her move? I wasn't worried about well-being because I've had several ultrasounds over the last fews weeks and I could see her little heart beating and her hands and feet moving in there, so I knew she's ok. I was just anxious to be able to start feeling her. And I know that Scott is extremely anxious to be able to feel her as well. He puts his hands on m y tummy all the time just hoping. Sometimes he lays his head down on my tummy and talks to her. It must be daddy-baby secrets though because he whispers and I don't know what he's telling her. One night, he must have pressed an air bubble or something because it made a noise. He swears it was Georgia Lou talking to him.
The closer I get to my due date the more nervous I get. I guess I should be nervous about labor and pains and recovering, etc. But I'm really not. I'm nervous about bringing her home and taking care of her. I'm sure I will be fine but I'm anxious about it. But knowing how excited Scott is makes it a little easier because I know that he will be here to help and support us both.
