23 weeks and counting!!!!!

So had another appointment today and thought i would just catch you all up! Everything is great, sleep is getting harder and harder, my lung capacity is only a quarter of what it used to be, the little guy is pushing my organs up and out of the way and i swear my lungs cant extend past my sternum! Belly button hasnt popped yet, but the way my peanut is growing (first time i saw a picture of him he was almost as big and about the shape of a single little peanut!), i swear i will burst almost any day... its like the very full feeling after a huge thanksgiving feast, times 5, and it never goes away. Plus, this sounds weird, but my skin around my tummy hurts, cant explain it any other way. But all of that does not matter because he is healthy and strong (feel my stomach when hes kicking and you will see just how strong), and I am just so happy and excited, and totally going into nesting mode... i already made baby bumpers for the crib and am finishing cutting out the fabric for the quilt! (not to mention i have crocheted a number of blankets... not all for me, some for taylor too.) So yup here are the latest pictures of the peanut... today was side profile day since he would not gives us it last time! In the pictures you can see his mouth opening ... he was practicing his breathing by taking in amniotic fluid all during the ultrasound... really neat to see!

plus if you look at his nose... looks a bit like mine... the way it turns up at the end... but we will have to wait and see!
