22 - 24 weeks Sprout is as big as a Papaya!
We started our birthing classes (The Bradley Method) which we find to be both informative and somewhat amusing (well, the people in the class are amusing). I forget that most people that take the classes haven't had bebe's before! Thankfully I know (for the most part) what is coming so at least I can enjoy the class without the Deer caught in the Headlights feeling/look that most of the parents attending have. I am convinced that Dave and I will make such a great team that I am quite confident we can have Sprout at home ... convincing Dave is taking a bit longer than I thought! The classes last until the beginning of December, so by the end of it I will be quite ready emotionally, educationally and physically to have Sprout!
Sprout went to their first Uberband concert which was so much fun! It was the first time I have been out in quite a while and we made the most of it by staying out until the late hour of 12:30am!
We had another doctor appointment and everything is baking together rather nicely. I have grown quite a bit although to be honest I really think I have gotten more 'dense' than bigger. It's like my belleh decided to get down to business instead of being all spread out and willy nilly. :) well that's what I like to think but it could be that I'm just well ... bigger. We discussed the back pain and the dr checked me and said that I have a compressed Sciatica which is probably even worse because of my spinal fusion. Not really anything I can do so we are just making the best of it! It's not every day and at work I have built a tetris type area of my desk so if I have to stand for a few hours I lift my keyboard and mouse up and if I can sit I have them normal. It's not that bad.
We are still working on the registry as I honestly forgot really important things the first time through ... like car seats, crib/bassinet sheets and the like. ha! Honestly, I dove right into the pregnancy brain portion of this whole thing. I forget simple words, I forgot to update the blog and the other day, totally left my keys in the fridge. Took me a good 20 minutes to find them too. :) I keep myself sane by saying that this just means that Sprout is going to have a big brain!
Sprout is growing incredibly fast. The kicks I feel are now a lot harder and most nights I am entertained by the show that is happening outside of my belleh. I can actually see the movement! David is so happy that each and every time he speaks to Sprout our little one gives him a kick or a high five. Sprout loves Daddy so much already! Dave put the earphones on my belleh and had Sprout dancing to Bach for 20 minutes. It was wonderful.
Other than that life is just going on as amazing as always. We are getting ready for Sawyers 18th bday in November. He is going to have a party early so he can have a Costume-Halloween party. I am busily trying to put together his Han Solo outfit and also Parker's Frankenstein on vacation outfit. I've become fairly handy with Styrofoam (yeah I know its not the most environmentally friendly but you try making a blaster and bolts!). Dakota isn't sure what he is going to be yet but he doesn't seem that concerned - which means that I will be trying to help him at the eleventh hour. Sharon and Dan will be having their last Halloween party out here in Redondo so we'll be going to that! Dave and I are fairly certain we are dressing up as Brad Pit and a preggo Angelina Jolie. I will post pics of the completed costumes after the celebration but below are some just as a place holder.
Well I promise to try to update every week from now on ... of course I also promise to not leave my keys in random places but I have no idea where they are right now ...
And here is my attempt at 24 weeks:
