23 weeks and 3 days

So here I am getting bigger and bigger every day. Sleeping is getting more uncomfortable and I am tossing and turning a lot. I need the bobby body pillow, which I will probably get today! I cant believe how time is flying by. Landon is getting bigger and moving around a lot! I had a doctors appt last week and he just wanted to check my uterus and cervix to make sure everything was ok. My cervix is 4cm which is normal and baby is growing like he's supposed to. I will have another ultrasound in 2 weeks. This is my "critical" period but thank God everything is turning out fine.

So today is Sunday and thank God for weekends! I am not looking forward to another busy week but at least its not as bad as previous weeks! This weekend has been full of fun events! One of my best friends, Bailey!!!!!, got engaged on Friday!!! Finally! We went and got her nails done thursday and they were perfect for her beautiful ring. It is crazy to think that I will have a child at her wedding! Then on Saturday me and Taylor went to register at Babys R Us! It took us 3 hours... LOL! But we are new parents and didnt have any help so I think we did pretty good! We got almost everything we needed and I think we had a good time doing it. Last night we just hung out on the couch. Tay wasnt feeling well and I am always tired so it worked out pretty well in our favor. Its been nice to sleep in and relax this weekend. Next weekend my mom is coming down so we can work on Landon's room! We have a few beddings picked out and we are going to look at cribs and paint. So far we know the room will be blue, Landon's name will be above his crib on records and there will be an awesome guitar wall decor and I get a rocking chair! I think it will all come together really well.

Everything else has been good. I have been feeling good and able to eat a lot. I know I am gaining weight. I was 134 my past doctors visit so now I am just gaining more and more. Its still weird to see myself getting fat, even though I know its a baby and not fat... I still feel fat. I definitely get looked at differently. Anyway, I guess that is all normal! Other than that everything is good! Looks like I am healthy and thankfully not gaining weight anywhere else but my belly! I cant wait to get back into shape after he's born. My goal is to get back down to pre-preg weight by 6 months after I deliver. I think that is a reasonable goal, and supposedly breastfeeding helps a ton!

If you want to check out my registry go to babysrus.com and its under my name: Alyssa Lankford

Love,
Taylor, Landon and Alyssa
