22 week update...

Lets see....over all i've been doing really well. I've been starting to have a high back ache if i sit in a chair for too long, we were at a friends house playing a card game and the kitchen chair almost killed me but i made it ;)....and then we went to my nieces basketball game and sitting in the bleachers was getting kind of tiring...that didn't happen with carrson until i was further along but i guess my body just remembers this time. Sleep....UGH, i'm such a procrastinator at night seriously my mind just runs wild and i'm getting ready for bed for an hour i sware! the night is usually something like ok i'm going to check my email, pick up a few things around the house and then before i know it, its an hour later, and i've looked up a thousand things on the internet that lead me to a thousand more and then i still havent gone to sleep! and then when i do finally get in bed my mind still hasnt shut off and then it seems like by the time i finally get to sleep rusty has gone to get carrson cause he has woken up and then i'm back awake just laying there in bed trying to go to sleep! Which brings me to, since he isnt nursing anymore I think we are going to try and keep him in his own bed at night, cause the routine right now is he goes to sleep in his bed every night then when he gets up for the first time he comes in with us and then just sleeps in our bed until morning but i think we are going to skip the coming to our bed part cause he doesnt nurse so rusty should be able to just lay down with him and him fall back asleep again, and rusty wakes up and goes back to sleep so easily that i dont think it would bother him to do that. anyway we'll see how that goes.

Maternity clothes....i hate them! ugh! i'm inbetween sizes right now so maybe thats whats bothering me i'm normally an x-small but the difference between the x-smalls and the smalls is big! so when i put the smalls on the pockets stick out funny i guess my but needs to get a little bit bigger before those fit right...even though my hiney is protruding in the x-smalls and when i kneel down it gives me some serious plumbers crack blech! and all my shirts are starting to get kind of small too i have a lot of x-small shirts which fit great cause i dont like the "tent" too big looking maternity shirts but now that they are starting to be too short to cover the panel on my jeans i think i might have to start investing in some size small shirts. I can't wait till it starts warming up though cause i have lots of summer dresses that i can just throw on to get me through the huge stage in the latter part of the 3rd trimester :)

OHHHHH and we got our first matching set of Newborn cloth diapers!!! they are so cute!!!!! i found a set of them on craigs list from a sweet lady selling them and its 6 Kissaluv diapers size 0 for Newborns and they are T-I-N-Y sooo cute! i can't believe i'll have a baby hiney that small to put in them! i'm really excited! there are 3 green and 3 yellow and aaahh did i say they were cute yet! i'll have to take pictures of them and post them to show on here. We part time cloth diaper carrson and its worked out really well its easy to do and not as disgusting as you think especially for newborn breastfed poo you dont even have to pre-rinse if you dont want to....k enough about poo

BABY is moving TONS! rusty was rubbing cream on my stomach the other night and I was just laying there and feeling lots of movement so we turned on the light and just watched the baby show for a while its just amazing i love it! you can see it from the outside just wiggling and kicking all over! Eventually we'll be able to see knees and elbows moving on the outside but for now its just as exciting. This is the part I miss the most when i'm not pregnant is the movement its just so wonderful, not to mention reassuring :)

Braxton Hicks contractions or "practice contractions" are coming more frequently now, they dont hurt they just feel like the verge of a charlie horse before it gets bad and then it goes away, i've been noticing them for about 2 weeks now and i notice them more and more...guess i need to be drinking even MORE water than i already do just to keep hydrated...

well thats about it for 22 weeks i'll take some pictures and come back and post them up
