23weeks

Only 1 more week till that elusive 24 week mark! I know its only a 50% chance of survival if peanut is born that early with a high chance of mental problems but at least if it was born it would have a fighting chance!

Honestly though I think peanut is in there to cook a fair bit longer! Everything has been going great pregnancy wise. I got worried this morning, seriously it doesn't take much! but peanut normally wakes up with me and has a bit of a play and I lie there and watch and feel it kick and move.  Nothing this morning, the same with last night actually, when I get up to pee (which has dropped to 2 or 3 times a night) I normal feel it kicking whilst falling back to sleep, it eases me and makes me fall to sleep knowing everything is OK.  When I can't feel it move it takes me ages to drop off to sleep, hoping that everything is OK.  Anyway I figured it was just having a quiet time but started to worry none the less.  So I got out the doppler. Well Peanut officially doesn't like it at all. At first I got a little warning kick, which was good I was like OK peanut is fine, but I thought I would just check to make sure the heart rate was strong and in range, well 2 seconds later I got the get that thing away from me kick.  It was massive, I saw it come right out and wow was it hard.  It just kicked the probe away. lol I stopped after that I got the message.  Its always a big relief to know all is OK.

So still having the same little issues as the last post.  The bleeding has basically stopped, I have really upped the fiber and water so thats fixing that.  The belly ring infection is pretty much all cleared up too.  The only other problem I have been having is with heart pulpitations.  They get really bad, I get dizzy, feel sick,  start to feel tight in the chest. Horrible feeling.  I emailed my OB he said its common but keep an eye on it.  I got DH to buy me a blood pressure monitor the other day, as there is preeclampsia in the family and I am worried about high blood pressure.  But its actually low.  Which is normal for this time in the pregnancy. 119/58 this morning! I am normally completely text book, 120/80. its good to have the monitor though so I can keep an eye on it as I get closer to the end when blood pressure problems seem to pop up.

Other than that DH is finally getting around to putting in the new cupboard in the nursery today.  I wanted sliding doors put on and to get rid of this stupid void in the middle of the doors.  So once that is done I can paint around the edges and start finishing things off.  I haven't really bought anything else, I got a Baby bjorn off ebay last week for $30, its in great condition. I need to get a chest of drawers for under the window.  I don't believe in paying full price for most things so I have been trying to find one 2nd hand.  Not having much luck! But there is still time so I am sure the perfect one will come up.  Once I have done some more I will put some pics up.  I love seeing nursery pics.

I think thats enough rambling for one day. At least peanut has decided to wake up for the day and has started playing a game of footy.  I definitely love the feeling.
