23 weeks and counting...

Had a baby doc appt today.  It was my 23 week appointment and I got to hear the babies' heartbeat today :)  That's always fun!  No ultrasound though...boo.  I now weigh 111 lbs (gained a total of 9 pounds so far).  The first thing Dr. Tutt says when he walks in his, "Wow, you're poking out there!"  Yes, I am huge.  He measure me and said I'm right on track.  Although, I think this baby is bigger than Reed.  I measured 24 cm and I'm at 23 weeks.  Does that mean I'm measuring a week ahead??  This is just a big baby I guess.  Due date "tentatively" scheduled for the C-Section is December 7.  Should I keep it the 7th?  Have the birthday be 12/7/11?  Or do the 8th like Reed's b-day?  Decisions, decisions...
Anyways, feeling good still.  My back doesn't hurt this pregnancy at all-maybe it's because I'm not working full time or perhaps I have a memory foam topper this time around to sleep on... I don't know, but it feels good :)  And I've noticed I sleep on my back every night- I know you aren't suppose to, but I just do and it doesn't hurt!  With Reed it did hurt when I was on my back, but maybe the memory foam thing is relieving the pressure...who knows.  Anyways, I got my ultrasound pics from my last visit and it is confirmed that it's a BOY.  For sure!  So I'm relieved I know for sure.  The only thing I need to buy is a double stroller-not sure what to get yet brand wise, but we'll see.  Next visit is the dreaded glucose test, where I need to drink the nasty stuff! Yuck!
