23 and 24 Weeks!

It has been a hectic few weeks! But, the best news we received was that I no longer needed to be on bed rest. Turns out I actually never needed to be on bed rest! I have had two ultrasounds since my Specialist appointment - one with Dr. Santiago and one with Maternal Fetal. Both showed no signs of funneling and it appears that the first sighting was probably not what they thought! As frustrating as that is, I am just thankful that everyone is concerned about me and Baby Girl and that ultimately, everything is good for now! And, honestly, it was kind of nice to work from the comfort of my own home. Especially because when I hit 23.5 weeks, I all of a sudden got somewhat uncomfortable! Not sure why since it's still pretty early, but it seems like everything is accelerated with this pregnancy. I felt movement earlier, the bump got bigger earlier, and I am feeling the discomfort already.

I honestly do not remember feeling super uncomfortable with Jameson...ever! I do remember when I hit 28 weeks that I started having a little trouble breathing, but it went away after a few days and I felt great until about 35ish weeks and even then, I barely had a complaint! This time, my breathing already feels labored, my hips hurt when I sleep and I am having Braxton Hicks contractions constantly! BUT, I am trying so hard not to complain because I wouldn't want to be anywhere else, but pregnant :). And, I adore the fact that I have a little dancing queen in my belly who is constantly reassuring me that all is OK and that I have SO much to look forward to.  I said it when I was pregnant with J and it's no different this time - pregnancy is a hard journey at times, but man, the end result is worth every single ache, pain and moment where I feel like I can't breathe! It's amazing to me that in just a little over 3 months, I will be holding our princess!!
