23 Weeks

23 weeks down, 17 or more to go! The baby is the size of a large mango. He/She is a dancer that is for sure...or maybe a soccer player... all I know is he/she moves and kicks all crazy, and it's starting to be hard kicks I'm feeling. I feel them mostly at night but definitely during the day time when I teach my guided reading groups (I think because I sit in a chair).
I have become my off balance and clumsy self lately. It's always a learning curve to remember I have this extra front weight throwing my normal balance off. Plus I am so worried constantly of tripping or falling on my belly that I think I end up not paying attention to what I am doing and in the end I become more clumsy.
This week Chad and I have been planning our "BABYMOON". On March 13, 14, and 15th we are go to drop Ellery (and Stella) off at my parents house so we can have a few days to ourselves before the newest Weiland arrives. We are going to stay at the new Blu hotel in Bloomington (the one connected to the Mall of America). We are going to do some shopping at the mall and Ikea, We also are trying to get tickets to a Wild came that weekend. It should be lots of fun. I can not wait! It really gives me something to look forward to. I am looking forward to the baby too but that is still so far away. This is a nice mid point from then and now.
Until we meet in May, keep on growing and kicking baby! xoxo
