23 WeeKs and Counting!!

Yes it of course has been that long. I haven't really had a minute to breath let alone blog. Well I'm twenty three weeks pregnant now and it seems like it has gone by fast but at the same time it hasn't. I'm starting to feel a little overwhelmed with a few things. I feel like the baby who has no name yet, will be here before I know it and I won't be prepared at all. Olivia still needs to be potty trained, put in a big girl bed and I haven't taken the binky away at night yet. Oh goodness what a mess I am. (ha ha) I want to document what this pregnancy is like so when I've had all my kids I will remember some of the differences and similarities with each pregnancy.
From the start this has been a different pregnancy.
1. I started showing way sooner than the first
2. I didn't throw up everyday but felt as if I could. I was nauseated 24/7 this time round.
3. I was extremely tired the first trimester
4. Migraines and severe headaches in the second trimester. I would rather throw up everyday than have a headache that doesn't go away for days.
5. I'm carrying this baby really low and she is on my bladder!
6. Really bad ache
7. memory loss
8. pregnancy gums/ whatever they call it
9. I haven't been able to really get a good nights sleep for at least a month now. I felt that the first time I slept better until about the last month
10. I felt this baby move around 18 weeks
I had my target ultrasound almost 2 weeks ago and here are a few pictures. They are a little blurry and hard to tell what is what but I still think it is quite amazing that there is such a thing as an ultrasound.

The placenta is on top of her head and face so you can't see it very well and it looks a little distorted
