23 Weeks

Peter and I just got back from a bit of a Babymoon. We went to Las Vegas for 3 days and now are enjoying the rest of the week at home doing spring cleaning, yardwork, cleaning out the baby's room, and most importantly - getting in some relaxation! I am still feeling really good & I can sense the weight of my belly and the baby now. I seem to be a bit off balance at times:) This morning I felt my first Braxton Hicks contraction (it was so odd!). At first I thought it couldn't be, it must be too soon. But, after reading about it, many women start to feel them after about 20 weeks into pregnancy. The baby is getting more active and I feel her a lot more regularly during the day, but the strongest kicks are in the middle of the night. Peter and I opened our gift registry at Target and put a few items on there. But, my friend (mom of two) is taking me to finish out the registry this weekend. I'm happy to go with someone who can give me the 'real' scoop about what I need and don't. Enjoy a few pictures from Las Vegas! Other than both of us dealing with some stomach issues on the trip, we had a wonderful time away together (and GREAT weather!).
