Yay 23 weeks! Keep ‘em coming. MeMe is kicking more often and I’m super hungry most of the time. I drink water like crazy thinking the hunger is actually thirst, but it’s not enough. Belly button is flat now, hasn’t popped yet. Lots of discharge which Dr. S told me will happen especially because of the cerclage. Waking every 2 hours again to pee at night and can’t seem to get comfortable in bed sometimes. I sleep surrounded by pillows but it’s not quite right. I get hot flashes at night and have to sleep with fan on me. I sleep better during the day like I used to when I was working night shift! I don’t see Dr. S for another 2 weeks (6/29), it’s amazing how these weeks go by and I’m not freaking out as badly.
Husb and I went shopping for our kids on Saturday and came home with lots of clothes. It’s funny to say “our kids” meaning his son and our daughter. We found tons of cute outfits on clearance (woohoo!) at Burlington Coat Factory. Husb was so happy and excited looking at all the cute little outfits and baby clothes. He kept grabbing things to buy. So cute! It also gave us a chance to browse at all the stuff that are associated with babies. That is big business! So many styles of playards, floor mats, bottles, bouncers, etc. We even found this really cute Baby’s First Medicine Cabinet thingy. I thought it was pretty cool. We looked at the stuff, but didn’t buy yet. I’m not mentally ready to buy stuff like that until we get to at least 28 weeks.
We found some shirts and shorts for Dom at another store thanks to $50 of free money given by my mom and MIL for Dom’s 7th B-day. He’s growing out of everything so we had to buy a size bigger so he’ll have some time to grow into them and they look like Big Boy clothes. No more Spider-Man or Batman outfits, these clothes are manly. It’s a weird feeling when a child is growing up in front of you and you miss most of it. We don’t see him daily like his mom does. He’s only with us 3/4 weekends a month and every other week in the summer and whatever the holiday schedule is. Sometimes we won’t see him for 2 weeks and it’s like “my goodness, you’ve gotten big!” People weren’t kidding about kids growing up fast!
I’m also super happy that the new season of True Blood started. Every sunday brings new joy in MANY ways! Can’t wait to be “glamoured” by the show every week!
