23 Weeks

Where did the time go and how am I already 23 weeks?!  This pregnancy is flying by partially because I am chasing around 2 toddlers and also because it's summer time.  Our summer time is packed with fun activities and running around outside.  I often wonder how I make it all winter being cooped up indoors.  Baby girl is doing well and is constantly moving.  She is about the size of a large mango now and a little more then a pound.  I think she has been on a growth spurt the past few weeks because my stomach is getting quite large!  Strangers have been asking when I am due and when I tell them October they look kind of shocked.  Third baby people ;)  Baby girl can hear now so the boys, Jeff included, have been talking to her.  It's really cute.  Her brothers still refer to her as Izzy since she has yet to be named.  We haven't done much for baby girl yet, but I am really starting to get the itch.  Must be nesting settling in.  This week Jeff started refinishing the crib since the boys chewed it up as babies and he is going to paint it white.  I have started to imagine how I want the nursery set up and I looked at some bedding options online.  We likely won't go over the top since the room is small and babies don't need much the first year anyways.  I will wait until she has her toddler opinions to really decorate her room.  She looked great at my 20 week ultrasound and I was so excited to see her sweet face.  I think she likes her food just like her, brothers because she was already measuring about a week ahead.  I guess I just make big babies no matter the gender.  I sure do love baby rolls so bring it on.
