{ 23 Weeks & Mighty Morphin' Power Ranger }

So this past week has been a good one.  Feeling a lot better with my aches and pains although I know they aren't far away -- but for the time being, fingers crossed, that they stay away for awhile!  I've been sleeping well (besides my potty breaks) and have found some relief for my back pain.  Working out, stretching and hitting up the pool at the Y seems to have really helped! 

I've heard lots of "wow you've really popped!" this week so I'm guessing people are very well aware now that I'm having a bebe! (had to double/triple check the word "popped" to be sure i had the right amount of o's and p's and not turned into an inappropriate bathroom statement instead! ha! -- another pregnancy symptom -- lack of brain cells and lack of focus) 

Our little man is still a mover and a shaker!  Had one night that he was ready to go at 3:00 am and was attempting to do the electric slide on my bladder, i'm sure of it, so after a bathroom break and laid back down and nope! He wasn't ready to go back to sleep -- so i was up until about 5:00 just letting him do his thing.  I'm a light sleeper so there was no way i was going to get back to sleep until he was ready to.  I know this is only a sample of what's to come, but I'm supposed to have a few more months of peaceful sleeping before he gets here :)

My high school girlfriends and I were able to get together last weekend for a girls night and a t-shirt exchange.  These weren't any normal t-shirts -- they had to be humorous! Ali was extremely thoughtful and got our little dude some new scrubs too :) So cute!  He'll be in this for Sadie and Mike's wedding for sure!  He'll match Daddy! 

Here's a photo of my girlies and me at Bonfire.

And another picture of us and our great t-shirts! Some more inappropriate than others :) bur still funny!  Three of us on the right are all expecting!  Anna (far right) is due beginning of March and his having a boy too, and Ashley is due the same day as me and is NOT finding out gender!  But i'm 90% sure it's a girl!  Maybe our little man will have a new gf! 

Baby and I head to Tampa, FL on Monday for a work trip.  Shucks eh?! 70 and sunny is exactly what this soon-to-be mommy needs!  Hoping I can find some time while we're there to get outside and enjoy it.  No promises on a blog post for next week as i'm sure the week will be jammed packed.  

Seriously wish it was this weather right now!

Am thinking about doing a blog post on just some of my favorite/comforting things that i've found to be enjoyable during pregnancy.  Not sure if that's an interest to anyone or not?? If it is, just let me know in the comments section or else i'll just keep it all to myself :)

We start our child birthing classes and such in a couple weeks so I'm anticipating some interesting items to come from that for sure!  Hoping i can keep my facial expressions on the DL when watching the birthing videos!  Same for my Mister! 

4 more months of these flattering pictures! :) Have a great rest of the week and weekend everyone!
