Weeks 23-24

Unfortunately, life got incredibly busy during these weeks since I was working 6 days/week and far too many hours, but are the highlights...

The iron pills seem to be working really well. I only had similar heart issues for about a week after the OB Triage visit. I did find that if I didn't eat when taking them I would get really nauseous. I typically don't feel that way when taken medicine with the "eat with a meal" warning. I'm curious if it is the pills or the pregnancy...

I finally finished our baby registry at Babies R Us. I had no clue it was going to be as hard as it was! They give you a huge list of "recommendations" for what to include and since I've never actually been around a baby for more than a couple hours, I didn't know what most of the items were. Thankfully, my mom, who went with me (for round 1), and then my mother-in-law & sister-in-law Tonya were a huge help in this department!

We nailed down a design for the nursery. I'm so excited and think the girls are going to love it! Well it may be a few years before they know what's going on and officially love it, but i'm certain they will. :)

While hanging out with my step-sister Lauren and her family who were visiting from Virginia, our family through us a surprise combo baby shower. We are both having girls and are only about 1 week apart. Lauren was approx 24 weeks & pregnant with her 3rd child, and I was 23 weeks. It was a delightful surprise and lots of fun. I also had another one of those crazy moments where the pregnancy hit me in a different way. I was in the middle of opening the girls presents when it dawned on me, this was for me because I was having a baby (well 2 babies). Though it was clearing nothing new I was learning, it seemed like a brand new concept and was absolutely thrilling.
