Well we are making it through our first week of school! Annabelle had a half day on Tuesday, then a full day yesterday and today. We then have a long weekend before going back Tuesday. It seems like Annabelle is adjusting well. I’m excited to head to curriculum night to learn a little more about what they are learning.
In other news, Autumn has hand, foot, and mouth… yay… On Tuesday night she had a fever when she went to bed, so I gave her some Tylenol, and had her sleep in our bed. She didn’t sleep well, and after dropping Annabelle off at school, her fever was pushing 104 (but she wasn’t really acting sick), so we headed to the doctor. The doctor took one look at her throat, and said “if it isn’t strep, it’s hand, foot, and mouth. I don’t think I’ve ever prayed for strep like I did yesterday. Here’s hoping no one else in the family catches it. I’ve heard horror stories of adults who get it.
At any rate, onto the pregnancy update!
How far along: 23 weeks
Weight Gain: I think I am at about 15 pounds?
Baby Size:Â as big as a mango. Which is a little bit crazy to think about, since a mango isn’t exactly small.
Cravings:Â no major cravings. I mean I have always had a sweet tooth, so wanting sweets isn’t out of the norm.
Symptoms:Â like last week, my hips. If I sit in a position too long, I get up and I can feel it.
Sleep:Â I have been enjoying sleeping well. I find I sleep better with a body pillow between my legs.
Movement:Â I’m thinking of taking this one out until I actually start to feel her move some more. At my last OB appointment my doctor was like “and your really feeling her move now?” I disappointingly said “nope, I have an anterior placenta…” I’ve had one with each pregnancy and it sucks. I would love to be able to feel all the movements. I also think it’s why my babies are sunny-side up.
Clothing:Â maternity clothes. But I don’t have a whole lot of summer ones, so I am ready for the weather to change. I have way more fall/winter clothing that I can’t wait to wear.
Miss Anything:Â nope, I can’t really say that I do.
Favorite thing from the Week:Â Annabelle starting Kindergarten! She was so, so, so excited to go, and so far it seems to be going well.
Big Sisters:Â now that Annabelle is in school I am hoping the constant fighting will die down a little bit. So far, it doesn’t seem to be working, but only time will tell.
Getting Excited About:Â Fall and football! The Spartans start on Friday, and I can not wait. Which reminds me, I need to get Autumn’s dress finished…
I’d also like to note that I busted out four blog posts this week! It’s amazing what you can do when you have three nights with out a husband to hang out with. 😉
