We spent the fourth of July weekend in Ohio with friends and family. My parents had their annual "3rd of July" party and we had a blast. I actually stayed up past midnight three days in a row! "Little Junior" (it's what we call the baby) moved around like crazy, especially during the big loud booms from the fireworks. He was so active from the loud noises, it was great to feel him moving so much! We also went out on a boat ride with my parents friends and watched the Toledo fireworks from the river.
Lately I've been feeling better than the past. I have my tired spells but all-in-all my energy levels feel like they've leveled out more. My belly is still growing but I finally feel like my body isnt as chubby as it was at the beginning. I think it was preparing for
more weight from the baby! I'm up to 19 lbs at 23 weeks and I think that sounds about right. Today we bought a baby pool and Beau and I layed in there before the storm hit today. It will be nice
to relax on the weekends in the pool since this heat is getting unbearable.
I'm still not craving anything in particular. All I really ever want to eat is fruit and yogurt. I met with this group called "Nine Months and Beyond" and they offer classes as well as have Doula's you hire to be with you during your labor. I was skeptical at first of using a Doula but I think we're going to go that route. They come to your house when you first go into labor and have techniques to help with pain along with offer us education on the different options we have while at the hospital. I'm very excited to meet our Doula - I think it'll be nice to have a "mother figure" there since our parents live so far away.
