23 weeks!

23 weeks! That means... 17 left?? Can't believe she will be here in 4 months! My midwife appt went well. Belly is measuring 23cm from pubic bone to top of uterus (fundus) so she is right on track. She offered that I try taking Calcium-Magnesium to help me sleep at night so I am trying that. I think it is somewhat helpful, and I would probably be getting better sleep if I wasn't woken up by various roommates the last couple nights :(. Maybe tonight will be better... Midwife talked about next visit where I will have to drink a bottle of red "fruit punch" sugar drink an hour before my appt and then get my blood drawn to screen for gestational diabetes. I'm not too excited about it, but hopefully results will be normal. Hieu and I have now met all of the midwives (2 originally + 1 new one in orientation) and we could have either one of them, or two of them if the night is slow, at the delivery. I am glad they are all very nice and feel comfortable with them. Not really any new complaints... 141 pounds (ahh I don't know how it's possible to gain 2 lbs/wk but its obscene), same upper back pain while "sleeping," haven't had very much heartburn in last few weeks (has her hair stopped growing?!), gas/indigestion, and belly feels tight and enormous when my stomach or bladder are full - everything is competing for space, but I think Ariel is going to come out on top... She still kicks in bursts throughout the day, and night sometimes I will notice too if I am awake. She usually starts kicking shortly after meals and around midnight. Ariel already enjoys listening to classical guitar music, hymns, and nursery songs :).
