22 & 23 weeks pregnant

I have been slacking on blogging
Life has still been pretty busy...Been hanging out with the family alot and spending time at my moms..and then when im home im trying to clean, and organize and sleep...sleep is hit and miss sometimes...i get up every 2-3 hrs to pee...im pretty sure she things my bladder is a trampoline at night..

Not much has changed besides im growing, growing growing..
Iv been having some trouble with food..and gastric bypass...Not a fan of meat...and if i find something i do like..and i eat to much i get sick...i need to eat slower...i also need to get protein bars...I also need to get away from the junk food... i have been craving it soo bad! Its horrible...
Mom and i went and did 1 or the 2 baby registry's we did the 1st one at babies r us...doing a baby registry is stress full..lol...you wanna put the stuff you want for your baby but you don't want to look greedy...i mean we have pretty much nothing for Tori... we do have some clothes we have bought and cloth diapers, and a crib (thanks to my sister) and tomorrow we are picking up her swing..so slowly we are getting some of the bigger items.. im kinda excited about garage sale season wish it was here already..by the time it comes im going to be 7-8 months pregnant and going to be to flippen tired to get in and out and in and out of the cars...Our next big purchase will be a new vehicle..nothing fancy but something with ac, and heat and will run...i want a van..hopefully soon we can get one..im in major need of a vehicle!!
Tori is one very very active little girl...she dosen't move much during the day..but lordy lordy when 9pm comes around she is doing flip flops and kung fu...pretty much 9-11pm is her awake time..and 6am-9am shes awake alot also..i love love watching her move..and feeling her move..its pretty awsome!!
well here are some belly shots

Ultrasound and Gender Reveal Partye

Thursday Jan 17th. We had our Ultrasound....We arrived at 11am...just to find out i had the time wrong my appt was at 10am! I was almost in tears...i like will i still get my ultrasound and they said yes...you might just have to come back later...Well if you have ever been pregnant and you know you have to drink so much water and hold your bladder so long i didn't wanna wait much longer i was ready to pee myself..so i was almost in tears..but the wonderful people fit me in 20 min later i didn' t have to wait till the afternoon!!!!!!!!!

We(Leo, my mom, myself) get back to the ultrasound room and she starts looking at baby and my bladder was so full i almost peed myself and she seen i was so uncomfortable so she let me use the bathroom..Thank god!! So the ultrasound tech started looking at baby and she was looking at the hart and measuring her head.. everything was looking good.. very strong heartbeat 152bmp..well needless to say baby was stubborn!! Would not move much at all..baby's was in a ball feet up and over his/or/her head!! and the ultrasound tech tried to get baby to move..and he/or/she was not budging! so needless to say we didn't finish all the testing because baby was so stubborn just like baby's momma and daddy..but the tech did get the gender of the baby..and put in a envelope and handed it to us.. we were clueless had no idea if were expecting  a girl or a boy!  But so far everything looked fantastic..So Febuary 7th i get another ultrasound to finish all the testing and make sure there is nothing wrong with baby (i hope everything is fine)
