Week 23: Swollen




Whew, what a week! My interning has finally started and I am so pooped! Monday thru Thursday, I am up at 5:30a and get home around 6:45pm. I make sure I don't over-do it, but I fall asleep as soon as I hit the pillow at night! A major "ugh" this week has been being swollen! My ankles are taking the brunt of it. I am on my feet all day (I sit down when I get tired), so I notice it at night. I am trying to drink LOTS of water during the day to prevent this. The downside is that I have to pee literally every 5 seconds during class and at work! I am also trying to eat less salt because Tuesday my wedding ring wouldn't even fit! After a busy week, I am looking forward to my 24-week check up tomorrow and a relaxing, 3-day weekend with my wonderful husband.

I have also picked out my travel system this week. I originally registered for one at Babys-R-Us, but I actually saw one I liked better from a child at CCS. After researching, this Graco travel system isn't available at Babys-R-Us.. only at Target. My mom is going to buy it for us in the next few weeks! :)

Update from BabyCenter.com: Turn on the radio and sway to the music. With his sense of movement well developed by now, your baby can feel you dance. And now that he's more than 11 inches long and weighs just over a pound, you may be able to see him squirm underneath your clothes. Blood vessels in his lungs are developing to prepare for breathing, and the sounds that your baby's increasingly keen ears pick up are preparing him for entry into the outside world. Loud noises that become familiar now — such as your dog barking or the roar of the vacuum cleaner — probably won't faze him when he hears them outside the womb.
