23 week update

 

I had my 23 week appointment yesterday and everything is going great.  It was pretty uneventful, which is a good thing!  The baby is measuring right where he should be.  I can tell he must have grown a lot lately because I have been starting to feel him move around like crazy!  My next appt is in 4 weeks and that will be the start of the third trimester!  I can not believe how fast this pregnancy has gone by!  I have so much to do and get in the next couple of months!   We have got the furniture back in the room and I am hoping to decide on bedding soon.  This pregnancy brain thing is making any decision making very difficult for some reason!  I can not believe how much baby stuff has changed in 4 1/2 years and how much stuff I need to get yet!

Payton is doing great and getting such a funny personality.  He has grown up so much lately.  He seems so self sufficient!  He is getting very excited about his new baby brother.  He tells me everyday all of the things he is going to teach him.  He has told me that he is going to teach the baby how to run, ride a bike, blow his nose, kick a ball and how to turn on light switches!  (I have no idea where the last one came from!)  Last week at school they had to draw a picture of what Love looks like for Valentines day.  I think the object was to draw a picture of your family.  He had 4 people in the picture!  So I asked him about it and he said that one was his baby!

 

This is Payton showing me how big he thinks the baby is going to be when he comes:

 

Payton is showing me how he is going to wrap up the baby and how is going to carry him around!  He told me we don't need a stroller, he can just carry him around!!

 

(BTW - I updated both the pregnany and belly pictures albums.)
