Week 22 & 23

Well I'm not quite a full 23 weeks yet, but close enough. Soooo...I was reading my 22 week post the other day from when I was pregnant with Dylan (http://bit.ly/xUCDl6) and got a little sad. No, not because I had only gained about half the weight that I've gained with this little lady, but because I talked about how Aaron was already able to feel the baby move. He so badly wants to be able to feel the baby kick, but I would say it'll probably be another couple weeks before that happens. That darn placenta is getting in the way. ;-) And about that baby weight. I've gained 13 lbs to date vs. only 7.5 with Dylan. Nope, it's certainly not a contest and I'm totally ok with it, but it just seems a little strange to me. I'll keep telling myself that it's because it's my second and you just gain the weight quicker. And while Aaron may not be able to feel her quite yet, I am definitely feeling her way more now than before. She's really low and putting a lot of pressure on my lower belly and pelvis though, which is kind of painful. My doctor actually recommended I get something called a pregnancy belt or prenatal cradle to help pull up some of that belly weight.

So what else can I tell you? Dylan is still being so incredibly cute with the baby/belly, however he is starting to babble like a baby more often and told me he didn't want his sister to have his old room (he wants both now). However he then proceeded to hug my belly and tell me he wanted his baby "brother" to come out and play. Funny stuff.
