23 Weeks

Just this morning (at work) I'm seeing my stomach move from the outside b/c the baby is kicking so hard :D. The just look like a muscle twitch at this point rather than a full movement. But still pretty awesome.

I was finally able to hammer down a date and time to meet Marggie! I'm not convinced though until it happens, but it's the farther commitment I've gotten from her in a while.

I missed writing up last week that I had my 1st appointment with the the MFM doc. I didn't know what to expect and ended up leaving feeling like it was a waste of time. It ended up just being an ultrasound appointment, that literally was it and I just had a full ultrasound the week before!

I told the doc this, but she said she (of course) likes to do her own ultrasounds. Baby still looked great and I saw some strong movement, one full blown kick even, but what was weird is that I didn't feel it.
She's going to recommend that I come back every 6 weeks, but I'm thinking of declining that. As long as I feel good, I feel baby movement, and my prenatal with my midwife go well, I'm not sure what I need this extra monitoring. I might agree to go back 1 more time once I'm full term, but I'm also worried that could lead to unnecessary interventions. So, we'll see. I still need to talk to my midwife about it.

We toured our 2nd daycare last week and will tour the 3rd (and possibly final) daycare this week. I liked this last one a lot better than the 1st and the price is better. For some reason Dan wasn't convinced.  So we'll have to talk more.

I finished gathering the addresses for my shower, so now the invites just need to be made and sent out!

22 Weeks

Not too much excitement going on this week:
* I finished my shower list, including addresses
* I'm starting to get comments from other people on how big my stomach is and/or how I've really popped
* Fire baby is really moving a lot lately! I can feel them kick nearly 'round the clock and the kicks are getting stronger and I'm feeling them in more parts of my stomach :)
