22 weeks

Well, mom came up this past weekend. It was a lot of fun. She was able to go with me to my doctors appointment on Friday and hear Kaley's heartbeat. The doctor says everything looks good. My sonogram was completely normal and she is on track to make her appearance in the middle of November!

I am still suffering from a lot of SI/low back pain so I was able to get a referral to see a PT. I am know that I will have to live with pain until after she comes but I am hoping that with some aquatic therapy I will have a little bit of relief. I know they say your second trimester is the best but she is definitely causing me a lot of pain. I think she is getting back at me for having such an easy first trimester.

Mom and I spent almost 4 hours at Babies R Us on Friday, 2 hours on Saturday and then John and I went back for about an hour on Sunday. It has pretty much become my home away from home. However if you need to know anything about strollers, car seats, play pens, cribs, etc. Just ask cause I am now a professional. We decided on a stroller and a car seat and my amazing parents got it for us as a gift which was awesome. We also bought a crib. So look for nursery pictures to come as we start getting more and more stuff.

It seems as though time has slowed over the second trimester. The weeks just drag on. I know life is pretty much just a waiting game but I can't wait to hold her in my arms for the first time!

I definitely understand about the slow passing weeks. I keep thinking your weeks are going faster than mine and you are catching up to me, but the time will come soon enough- at least that is what i am telling myself. Hope the PT goes well and Mike & I are looking forward to seeing you in August- hopefully with our little one in tow!! Take care Em!!
