Baby G - Week 23

Last Saturday, Jonathan and I went to the Paramount for a concert. I haven't been too keen on going out or parties these days, but the Paramount is nice, clean and you can sit down. We saw the Gourds, Kelly Willis and Bruce Robison. We had a great time, and Baby G made his presence known. I'm not sure if he liked the music or if we were disturbing naptime, but he kicked the entire time. We may have a music lover on our hands.

The bedding I ordered came this week. And I'm happy to say I love it! Jonathan breathed a giant sigh of relief since we didn't have a backup plan and hadn't found anything else we liked. We only ordered the items on the crib - bumper, sheet, bedskirt and blanket. We picked up a few paint samples and are trying to decide on a color for the nursery. Flash wanted to be part of the process too. As we were holding the samples up to the bedding, he would sniff and rub and the bedding. I think he's still trying to figure it all out!


















My students have been so cute. They are all trying to come up with names for the baby...most of which is a play off of their name. They have also taken to keeping me fed. I had three different students bring cookies this week and another brought muffins.

We went to the doctor on Friday and had another ultrasound. During the first, Baby G was not very cooperative so there were still a few things they wanted to see. This time he was super active. I've noticed that usually between 2 and 4 is his playtime. The doctor was able to see everything they couldn't the first time, and it's still a boy. Everything looks great and he's growing right on schedule.

I've had crazy heartburn the past week or two...just about anything can make me grab for the Tums. I started carrying a baggie with some in my purse. My legs are still giving me trouble at night. Usually, I sleep well for 3-4 hours, and then I toss and turn. Friday night was the worst. I barely slept the entire night and finally got out of bed at 5 a.m. The nurse suggested a warm bath before bed to relax the muscles and nerves so I'm going to give it a try. Otherwise, I still think I've had a pretty easy go of it.
