WOW 23.4 weeks!

Time really is flying. I feel there are still so many things to do, and decisions to make. I am sure this will probably continue for the rest of my life....lol
Anyways, things have been going good. Feeling better and having better days. (for now) Still stretching quit a bit, and of course that gets uncomfortable, but absolutely a blessing. Of course our little man is growing and getting bigger and stronger. He has this obsession here lately with pushing on my pelvic bone. I try to move him around and sometimes he cooperates and others not so much. I look funny trying to walk when he is there. But still all in all, such a blessing. I am really at a point where I am able to enjoy my pregnancy.
Clint and I did decide on a name this weekend. He will be Cody James. I know this makes my Aunt Kathy happy, as the name Cody was her recommendation from the get go. I think its going to be a good name. Clint was insistent on it anyway, so not much choice after that! haha
Not a whole lot other going on. Trying to decide on things I need. What I want to use what I may not use. Getting together some baby shower gift ideas. So on and so on. I promise to try and get a new pic up as soon as I can. I am much bigger than 4 weeks ago!
Hope all is well with everyone!

FOOD *YUM*

So I have always thought I had a pretty good appetite. But nothing could have prepared me for the appetite this little baby has. Oh my goodness, I eat all day long. I am always so hungry. Let me break it down for you. During the work week, I usually start my morning off with a big glass of cranberry juice, by 7:00 or so I eat a little biscuit egg cheese sausage sandwich. Around 9:00-10:00 (depending on patient volume) I am eating a bag of cereal, or grapes or something snacky. Then of course lunch, sometimes left overs or sandwich and chips or whatever I can get my hands on! Then around 2:00 or 3:ish I am into the pretzel's and peanut butter. Or whatever sweets the Dr and I have stashed around the office, and by 6:00 (when I get off work) I am starving and ready for a huge dinner. By 7:00 or 7:30 I am ready for dessert, which here lately has been cookies and milk. ( And as a side note I must tell you my wonderful husband turned the fridge all the way up for me, because I was complaining my milk wasn't cold enough. He complains because now he gets brain freeze, when he grabs a gatorade, and the pink lemonade has ice forming on top of it. But he leaves it for me......cuz the milk is soooooo good cold like that!)
On the weekends, its not so much of a schedule, as just walking to the fridge almost every hour just to grab something to munch on! And trust me......yes we are feeling all of this in the checkbook! But hey, MY BABY IS HUNGRY!!!

IT'S A BOY!!!

OMG....I am going to have a little baby boy! They are pretty sure of it they said. WOW! It's so different just knowing what you are going to have. Now I have so much to do! I will get the new sono pics up as soon as I can! I was going to try and hold out on telling Clint. He wasn't able to go with me this morning, he isn't one for Dr's offices. Anyways he called me about 9:30, wanting to know. I tried to hold out and couldn't. I knew he would be thrilled and sure enough, he was and is! I can't believe it....a boy!

Round Ligament Pains!!!!!

OMG! Let me just say...OUCH!!!!!! I am sitting here now wondering why round ligament pains have to hurt so bad and be so brutal! I have been having general ligament pains for a couple of months now. An ouch here or there when I cough, sneeze, get up or move suddenly. But starting 2 weeks ago, I had an attack on the right side of my stomach. It was early in the morning. Around 5:45, and they hit. I was crying the pain was so bad. Clint wasn't even sure he should go to work and leave me there at home. Well they lasted about 45 min. I called the doctor because at that time I was unsure what they were. They assured me round ligament pain. I have done research on it now and discovered your round ligaments can spasm. Which is exactly what mine did that morning. So okay I know now, and I can deal with this.....well let me tell you! Right now it is 12:00 (lunch) and I have been having severe round ligament pains since 5:00 this morning. They are on the left side this time and awful. They have been spasming all morning. Or should I say day so far. I have been putting warm packs on but its not helping in the least. And the more stretching my belly does the more the ligaments will pain me! AAAAAAAHHHHHH how am I going to make it through labor. Please God, make labor fast and about an hour or less of time! PLEASE! I wish I could explain this pain to you! I will definitely discuss it with my doctor next week when I see her! Ok well there is my complaining for the day!
Hope every one is well.
