23 weeks!



Things I have learned in the past 23 weeks of being pregnant:

1) We're having a BOY!!! I am really excited, way more than Clark was actually. Although the first thing he said was (seriously), "Are you ready for wrestling matches?" ha - let's hope he at least waits long enough for the poor child to be able to hold up his neck on his own.
2) I finally stopped puking (oh please, oh please!) 2 weeks and counting. Wow do I feel 100% better when I'm not puking and nauseous every moment of everyday.
3) The cold REALLY hurts the chest area...serious pain, I don't like it.
4) Sneezing causes things to happen that are uncontrollable and inconvenient, also something I am not a fan of.
5) Baby stuff is expensive, it's disgusting
6) Baby really likes music, it's kind of funny. When I turn on music or when there's something really loud going on (like watching 007 in the theater) he starts kicking like crazy.
7) I was hoping baby was going to solve the lactose problem I have, instead he's made it worse :(
8) Baby is causing leg cramps to the max. Waking me up every night, multiple times a night; also not a fan of.
9) Urinating is my new non-favorite thing to do. I think 1/2 of my work day is spent in the bathroom.
10) I still can't believe we're going to have a child! It's crazy feeling something move inside of you. But the more I talk about it, the more excited I get, which is good because it took me awhile to give the ok to start trying to have kids. I know it's something Clark has wanted basically from the moment we said "I do" or "yes" in the mormon world.
oh and 11) Our child is as big as a large mango this week...these weekly emails crack me up.
