23 weeks

Not that much to report this week...

The doctor's appointment went well, as usual. According to the nurse I am still 2 lbs under my pre-pregnancy weight, which seems crazy, since my belly got so big already!!!

We got to listen to the baby's heart beat, again. Except this time the little troublemaker kept kicking the handheld device! It sounded really funny because last time it was just a steady heart beat, but this time, the baby was going nuts! He/she kept turning, kicking, making funny noises. Baby is very active!:) Yay!!!:)

When the doctor saw the ultrasound results he said everything looks great, the baby is strong and active. He also asked if we had the chance to find out the baby's gender and we told him, unfortunately no... So he said we can go for a 32 week ultrasound if we want to, by that time it will be obvious. Although we got very excited about that at the time, now we are not 100% sure we want to find out at all! Why the sudden change of heart? Well, first of all we have a few friends who are also expecting, who are leaving it up to surprise. No, it's not peer pressure!:) It's more like the idea has grown on us. Plus, we didn't expect to have another regular ultrasound so we sort of accepted the fact that the baby might keep his/her gender a surprise. First we were very disappointed but then the more we thought about it, it's kind of exciting!:)

This Wednesday I will be 24 weeks and that morning I am going for my gestational diabetes testing. Oh fun! More bloodwork! Double the fun this time, they will take blood twice in one morning!

I hope everything will be clean on that test because I sure have been reacting weird to eating or drinking sugary stuff... But for now I am sticking to my theory of 'Baby just doesn't like sweets. Baby is very health conscious already!".

That's about all that have happened. I am starting to get very clumsy and I find my center of gravity is really off. But I feel energetic and happy, so it's all good. As long as I only eat what baby wants, I don't get sick, so that's one worry off my list!
