23 weeks

As time is getting closer, I am finding less and less time to write on this thing! Things are progressing nicely. I go back to the doctor next week for my 24 week appt! We toured the hospital a few weeks ago and am surprised how nice the labor and delivery rooms are. They are away from the main part of the hospital and even have their own operating rooms just in case. Each room is a suite so you don't have to be with other mom's. Its almost like a hotel, with TV, fridge, bed, shower, jacuzzi tub and everything.

In three weeks, I start birthing classes. I can't believe that we are making it to this stage already. Where has the time gone. I feel like it was just last week, I found out we were expecting our little Roo and now I am over half way done with the pregnancy and the thought of labor is beginning to be a more prominent thought in my mind. I am unfortunately starting to tire out more and more these days. I was hoping the energy would last a little longer, but the bigger I get, the harder it is to find the strength to be active all the time. Roo on the other hand does not ever stop. She kicks me all the time, so much that its hard to sleep. I feel like I am going to have an Alien moment and she is going to pop out. She is either going to be a boxer or a soccer player! At this point, I would be very surprised if she makes it to her due date, she is already wanting out!

I have also taken up crocheting in my spare time. My Budgie (dad's mother), was a pro at this. I use to sit and watch her when I was younger and was amazed at what she could create with her hands, yarn, and a metal hook. I still have the afghan she made me when I was younger and cherish it so much. I had tried previously with no luck but for some reason was able to catch on pretty quickly. So pretty much every night you will find me working on my crocheting!

We almost have everything we need for Roo, but the stroller. That is our last big ticket item to get, other than her crib which we are getting when we move next year. There was no reason to set up her room when the Navy was packing us out a short time after she makes her grand appearance. Right now, I am just enjoying the time I have with Randy, crocheting her a blanket, and feeling her kick my bladder till no avail, until she decides to make her entrance into this world!
