Update

It's been a little while since I last posted because I have been really busy with school work.

I have been feeling her move more regularly, which is cool. It still feels like bubbles popping in my belly, but I can now feel it if I put my hand on my stomach. The problem is that whenever I grab Joe's hand to feel, the baby stops moving. So, unfortunately, he hasn't been able to feel it yet. I do feel her more in the evening and at night. I read that babies tend to move more during those hours because that's when you're still. All of the moving during the day tends to lull them to sleep.

Sleeping is still a bit of an issue. I am getting up at least one time during the night, and usually twice to pee, so I am never getting more than about 4-5 hours of sleep at a time. Even if I try not to drink much in the hours before bed, I still get up. I am also tossing and turning more since I can only be on my side and staying on one side too long makes my hip hurt and my legs get kind of crampy. A pillow between my legs didn't help me and those body pillows basically keep you on one side, so I don't think that's a great solution either. Basically, I just try to get the most sleep I can. My tossing and turning does wake Joe up some nights, but I guess we both will have to get used to less sleep in the coming months.

I have also been having some indigestion, which started just in the past week. Drinking ginger ale has helped some. They say to eat small meals throughout the day, but I tend to eat larger meals. :-)

Otherwise, I still feel good. I can still bend over and move around and am confortable. This week is week 23 and we are almost halfway through month 6, which is hard to believe. At the end of this month, we have our breastfeeding class and our next prenatal appointment. Stay tuned for the next "bump watch" picture.
