What was I thinking...

So I made the HUGE mistake of dancing in heels over the weekend and I am paying the price dearly. I messed up something in my back and now I can't even take a step without wincing in pain. I went to work for about an hour before I was sent home because I couldn't walk. So now I am confined to the living room chair and am hoping I will be able to get up to eat.

My appointment- finally!

I finally got to make my appointment! It is on August 10th and I can't wait. Only 2 more weeks- let the real countdown begin! I just hope that when I get there the baby cooperates.

23 Weeks

I had my 23 week appointment today and once again nothing really eventful. The doctor said that I have gained quite a bit of weight since my last appointment- I tried not to get too offended. I did get to listen to the baby's heartbeat and I couldn't stop laughing because it sounded really fast. My guess is from all of the exercise the baby is getting from kicking and moving around. I will get to find out the sex of the baby probably the 2nd week in August- I haven't set the date because I am not sure of my schedule yet. I can't wait- I am going crazy!

Two Things

#1- What is wrong with me? Why do I keep on buying baby girl clothing when I have a gut feeling that I am having a boy? I'm hoping that it will be only another couple of weeks until I can find out the sex of the baby. #2- I am definitely feeling and seeing the baby kick. Sometimes I just stare at my belly and laugh when I see it jump.

Baby Shower

I just got back from vacation with the family and it was so relaxing. We went up to Brainerd, MN to the Madden's resort on Gull Lake. We have been having a family reunion up there almost every year for over 20 years now. There were about 30 of us up there this year so it was great to see everybody- we all missed you Kasey! While I was up there I had my first official baby shower! It was so much fun and I am so glad I got to experience that with you guys since I won't be seeing you until next year! I just want to thank you all one more time for all of the thoughtful presents and the words that were exchanged that day and throughout the week. It meant a lot to me to know that I have such loving and supportive family around me.
