23 Weeks

Embry is kicking a lot more consistently now. Tony has gotten to feel her move a number of times, which is always exciting and tonight I showed him how you can see her move from the outside now. It basically looks like various parts of my stomach will randomly "bounce" which would be the vibration from her kicking or punching on the inside.

I asked my dr during my last appointment about a pain in my right side which she said was probably just due to stretching, but it had gotten worse over the past week so I was thinking of calling her. Now today it didn't bother me quite as much, so maybe it is going away. If it's worse again tomorrow, I will call the office to see her take on it.

I bought diapers for the first time yesterday. They are having a really good deal on at Walgreens where the packs are on sale for $5.99 and then when you buy 3 packs in one transaction the register spits out a coupon for $5 off your next purchase, so then everytime after that first time, you get 3 packs of diapers for about $12. I got 3 packs of newborn, but I think I'm going to go back and get quite a few more. The newborn size there goes up to 10 lbs and then of course there are all the other sizes to buy too! :)

Otherwise, things are pretty much the same as far as the pregnancy is concerned. I think that our new kittens, Soy and Sauce, will take to a baby just fine so I'm not too worried about them for the time being. Cats are a little unpredictable though, so we'll see how they evolve over the next few months.

As a side note, I found this really interesting story today (through one of the groups on facebook) that explains what it is like to have lupus, so if you're interested in that at all, you can read it here...
