Life With Julie: Life at 23 Weeks

So today is the start of week 23! So next week I will be 6 months. My dad was trying to say that it didn't make sense but he forgot that you are really pregnant for 10 months, not just 9....whoever said it was 9 months? So anyway, I have started to feel her kick now. Ray hasn't been able to feel it yet cuz it is still pretty light on the outside but it feels crazy. She is starting to wake up later in the evening now so she is usually up and moving around when I'm going to bed! I'm pretty uncomfortable most of the time...I don't think I'm one of those women that LOVE being pregnant. I love that I am pregnant and what I am going to get out of this but I'm not liking being uncomfortable, being gassy, not being able to sleep, not having clothes fitting...and it is just going to get worse!! I've slowly starting the swelling stage. So some days I come home and my feet and hands are a little swollen. Nothing too bad yet so that is good. I can still wear my rings and my shoes! We bought Rock Band 2 and it is a little hard to hold the guitar because my belly gets in the way! I did buy a few more maternity pants but one pair is a really weird material so I'm going to return those and the other pair are way too long so I really need to get those hemmed! I am sleeping with a body pillow and that really does help support the tummy so it feels better to sleep on my side, just not fun for Ray to have a body pillow in the middle of the bed. I'm doing better at drinking my water with my cute new water bottle that is easier to drink out of! We found it at Target and I love it! I threw up for the first time yesterday. I can't tell you the last time I threw up so that was a horrible start to the day! I think it was acid reflux because I woke up with horrible heartburn and then got sick and felt fine. It may have been from the orange I ate before I went to bed the night before. I have my next Dr appt on April 1st so hopefully everything goes well! I think that is all my updates for now. :)
