23 weeks and then some

I'm a little behind on my update. :) So as of Wednesday, I am at 23 weeks.

Updates: Tuesday I went and saw a customer that I haven't seen since probably December, whom I used to see every week at my old branch, to let him know my news. He was very excited for me, and asked how everything's going at my new position. It was good to see him; he's a nice guy.

Wednesday was 23 weeks! That afternoon/evening, I wasn't feeling great, so I stayed home from work on Thursday. I'm glad I did. I think I was having either Braxton Hicks contractions or round ligament pain (I think they were Braxton Hicks). They weren't painful, per se, although they were uncomfortable, so I'm glad I stayed home to handle them. I am still having some discomforts today (Friday), but so far I think they are better than yesterday. Walking helps.

Last night was my first Bradley childbirth class. It's an entire class of first-time parents! Adam couldn't make it (he injured his knee and has been dealing with it since last Thursday :( He took this week off but wouldn't have been able to sit through the class), but other than that, it was good. We did some stretches and exercises (all of which I have already been working on, holla! Thanks for loaning me the book, Denise! I'm way ahead of the game), and got to know the other couples. It went a little late, and it's in Middleton, so I didn't get home until 10 last night. But I think the class is going to be very beneficial. Oh also, we were practicing relaxing at the end of class, and when I got up, I saw a spot on my shirt - I had leaked! That was kind of weird! Thankfully, my friend Ashley just gave me some breast pads that I will be able to use. I probably won't start using them every day unless it happens again. I will probably wear them to my Bradley class from now on, though, assuming I remember!

So that's about it for now... next doctor's appointment is a week from today, so expect another update then!
