Week 23

I know, I know!! I missed taking a picture last week, but I'm back on track. This week has been a rough week and I'm really REALLY starting to feel the aches and pains of pregnancy. My belly doesn't look much bigger in the last 2 weeks but I can tell baby h. is growing a ton. I'm finding that I can no longer bend over, or lean forward without my rock hard belly getting in the way. Then when I really can't avoid it, I get a ton of irritated kicks to remind me that hello!! someone is in here! I also haven't been very good at "taking it easy" throughout this pregnancy. I don't like to ask for help, and I try to do everything myself. Well.. Monday I went to Costco, big Mistake! I lifted way too much.. with the in the cart, out of the cart.. into the car.. unload it all when I got home. I way over did it. By Monday night I started having a few contractions and freaked everyone out. So I've been banned from going to Costco.. at least by myself. They stopped all together after I drank 2 bottles of water and stayed off my feet. I'm hoping that was just my warning, that I'm not superwoman and I need to take better care of myself. I go into the doctor today for my ob check. I wonder what kind of fun things he'll have for me to do today!
