Movement

On saturday Dan felt the baby move for the first time. I was pretty surprised b/c we have been trying to get him to feel the baby for a month or more and nothing has happened.
We were lying down watching tv and he just randomly put his hand on my belly and he said he felt a kick! It was pretty light, so I didn't think of saying anything, but he said he could feel it. I'm wondering if the difference was that the movement was higher up on my belly and normally it's pretty low. Either way, not an earth-shattering event but still pretty cool :)

Weeks 24-25

Lots to talk about

• Dan and I went to a painting class this week to paint super hero paintings. If they turned out well, I wanted to hang them in the nursery...well, they did so we are now doing a super hero nursery!! However, i'm struggling a little bit b/c all of the sheets and other linens I picked out for the room is light colored and has zoo animals on it.... I'm having a hard time making the two things work. 
  
• I'm in the process of trying to decided on a quilt for the nursery. I actually came across some fabric on etsy that has super hero jungle animals on the print!! however, the woman doesn't have much of the fabric left and can't find more to order. so, no i'm struggling to decide what we can do with it. normally, i would just take the direction of the esty shop owner, but i'm not particularly a fan of her personal style - she just happens to have the fabric that I want. Here is the fabric i'm trying to work with

• This Sunday I will hit the 100 day mark :)
• This week we booked our daycare too. We decided on the learning edge out in oak creek. So far, I really like the place and the staff, I just don't like the price :( however, if you consider the hourly rate we are paying, it really isn't that much.
• Heartburn and indigestion are starting to kick in. it's not too painful yet, but it does seem to linger a while.
• It's becoming increasingly more difficult to sit. I'm having a lot of pain/pressure on my tailbone. Sometimes even sitting on a pillow hurts. Before I was pregnant I had a lot of pressure on my lower back and I could do this little trick in my chair to release it, but it not longer works.

Week 23

Well, I'm sick again with another sinus infection. I didn't even know I was sick until I started having the face pane. I called LaNette and she told me to go to the doc right away. She freaked me out a bit, to the point I started crying - that intern freaked out everybody else at work. I just ended up leaving, going to the doc an then took the rest of the day off. I hated using up another sick day but I really needed the rest. Luckily, it was a nice day. So, I'm on another round of 10 day antibiotics.

My tummy really grew this week! I even had my first growth spurt - and LaNette said it's normal around this time and i'll go through probably one more spurt. But everything looks great. Dan even says i looked bigger than when we left a week ago! The belly touching/talking has started and also seems to have simultaneously increased. However, it doesn't seem to bother me that much. Maybe it will when it happens for a while, but I think it's kind of cute right now.

I had my first real bought of uncomfortableness too. It was all in my lower abdomen - a lot of pressure. I wasn't sure, but it felt like he was laying deep in my pelvis, sideways. I like to call it "hammocking" :)
Well, during my apt this week, I found out I was right! Dan Jr is currently sitting transverse in my tummy, face up, with his head on my left side. Speaking of my apt, mom came with me this time - so she could meet LaNette. Everything seemed to go well. She even showed us the plans for her new place. It looks very cool!
