Wow- pressure!

I am now 22 weeks pregnant! Yeah. Time is really flying by! I have still been feeling great. Actually have a lot more energy lately it seems. I haven't been napping the past week or so. Don't know how long that will last. I am happy to say that I have almost everything that I need now!! YEAH! I only have to buy the infant carrier and the stoller. Those are the only big things I need and I have been searching online to find one used. I am going to buy extra bases this time. It gets to be a pain un-doing the base too. Ha. I wish I would have been smart and bought one with Madison too!! In fact, when I sold her car seat, I wish I would have sold it w/o the base- sad I know, but now I have to buy extras. One for Steve's car and mine also. I found some seats on Craiglist for $20 and I thought about inquiring about them if I have the money this Friday (pay day). New seats are expensive- running around $70! I am so loving finding all this used stuff- all in great condition at great prices. I mean, I have gotten the swing, playpen/bassinet, bouncer, floor gym, and even the matching bath tub and I have spent less than $150. I know I paid ALOT more than that for Madi's stuff- which I bought brand new. Now that I am smart and know how quickly they out-grow this stuff- I am all for saving my money! I am going to hit up garage sales for clothing soon too. Hopefully get his wardrobe at great prices too.
The only real change is that baby boy is getting a lot more active. Especially at night. It was funny b/c last night I was talking to Cheryl on MSN messenger and I goofed up the spelling of a word and I was laughing really hard. Up until that point I hadn't felt him move that much- but boy after that laughing (so hard that I was crying) he started kicking me like crazy. It was like he was saying "HUSH it up out there- I am trying to sleep". He moved a lot from that point on.
Other than that the only thing different is the sciatic pain has subsided somewhat. I mean, I still get the pain from time to time, but it isn't as bad as it was. Hopefully he has moved off that nerve somewhat. I am getting a lot of pressure down there. Esp when sitting- mostly when I sit on the potty. It is an ENORMOUS pressure when I sit on the potty. It stops once I get up. Don't remember feeling this quite so soon in my pregnancy with Madison. I wish I had documented that more closely so I would know. I think I will mention it at the next appt. That is all for now.
