23 Weeks

I can't believe Walker is 23 weeks, 6 days today. This pregnancy is flying by...which is both exciting and scary at the same time. There's really nothing new to report. I'm feeling great and Walker is moving around a LOT. He's even getting up very early in the morning and is awake at odd hours throughout the night. I think he's preparing me for after he's born! :) I've felt him move at midnight, 3:00 a.m. and 4:00 a.m. and almost always by 5:00 a.m. every morning I feel him move. Needless to say, I don't sleep in much anymore. Even on the weekend I'm awake by 6:30. But I'll trade my sleep for feeling him move any day!! It's such a neat feeling and I'm so excited that I get to experience pregnancy and what it feels like to have a precious child growing inside of you. I can't wait for him to be born but I'm also really enjoying being pregnant. God has blessed me with a very easy pregnancy so far and I just pray it continues to go as smooth for the rest of the time.

Jon & I are both off from school this week so we're really looking forward to relaxing and doing absolutely nothing. We have a few more projects to do around the house to get the nursery ready and we're also planning on visiting daycare centers after Christmas as well. Our next doctor's appointment is next Tuesday (12/29). This will be the first doctor's appointment that I won't have an ultrasound so I'm a little upset about that but they will listen for the heartbeat and check other things as well. I've gotten spoiled by having an ultrasound at every visit so far so it will be weird not to have one this time. But at least I can feel him moving around all the time now so that's comforting.

Today Jon & I are celebrating our 6 year wedding anniversary! It doesn't seem possible that we've been married for 6 years already...time flies!! We're also looking forward to our last Christmas with just the two of us and we're already so excited that Walker will be with us for Christmas next year!! I hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas and please continue to keep us in your prayers.
