Week 23

I am now well into the second trimester and I am still always tired. I think that is because I am not getting a comfortable sleep. The books that I bought advised that I stop sleeping on my back starting on Week 16 so I have tried to do that. I have always slept either on my back or stomach so sleeping on my side is not very comfy for me. Scott and I had another appointment with Dr. Herrmann so I asked for a little guidance from him. Lucky for me, he told me that it will not hurt the baby to sleep on my back and encouraged me to sleep however I can get a good night sleep. THANK GOODNESS!

During our office visit, we had to finish up the ultrasound with the technician. There were a few things that Baby wouldn't allow us to get a look at so we had to meet with nurse again. Baby was able to cooperate this time around and we have a healthy baby with all important organs and strong heartbeat. We didn't get a count of the beats per minute so no old-wives-tale guess if it is a boy or girl this month.

As I stated in a previous post, Scott and my dad finished painting Baby's room over the Holiday break. I have been looking for furniture online so that we can finish the up the room, but we are having trouble finding it in St. Louis stores. We are traveling to Iowa next weekend so hopefully we can find it there.
