23 weeks today
We haven't set a date for the baby shower yet but we have been thinking about february 11th. I feel like January is early and I am having a c-section march 8th so unless something drastic happens and she decides she doesn't want to wait until that date it should be plenty of time.

More movement - actually seeing baby move is very exciting. some more weight gain. In the first trimester I did not gain any weight. I have put on about 5-6 pounds now. Still heartburn and sleep interruption.
Raves - 68 more work days - I am off Feb 17th as I have some vacation to use, and want to take about 3 weeks before baby is due. I live in Canada and get a year off. My current job allows you to hold your position for 18 months so I am taking advantage of that. I am also currently in a course that will allow me to teach grade 7 -10 once I've completed it. I am hoping this will help me get on the board and get back into the classroom.
Shop! I love shopping for clothes. For myself or for baby. I actually let myself buy some really cute baby girl clothes. I told myself I'd wait till after the baby shower, but I just couldn't help it.
I'm in the minority of being adamantly opposed to wanting a baby shower, so since everyone knows I don't want one I'm not expecting to have a shower.
@babyspice my shower is going to be either the weekend of January 14th or 21st. I'm due March 7th and I want to give myself enough time to organize everything and buy whatever else I'm missing. Also, I'm with you on the lower pelvis/bladder kicks, they can get pretty uncomfortable. I'm glad this seems common because it was kind of freaking me out.
@klz0330 I'm also experiencing lots of discharge...panty liners have been invaluable to me lately.
@MrsTurney that's awesome that you can take so much time off! My job will let me take a year but I'll probably only end up taking 6 months or so.
Also, I am finally starting to gain weight. I lost about 10-12 lbs in the first tri and I weighed in the same at 19 weeks as I did at 14. Today I took a gander at the scale and I had gone up about 2 lbs in the last two weeks. Finally! I am not one who has trouble packing on the pounds normally so this was a whole new experience for me.
@babyspice I think I am going to try and have any baby showers at the beginning of Feb. Since I am due at the tail of end of March, that should give us plenty of time.
