23 Weeks = School Starts

SO I am a little late in updating the blog because school has started and I get exhausted really easily... I'm pregnant people!!!

Anyway, we started our 23rd week by relaxing on Sunday the 6th and doing some running around with Maria. Then yesterday, Labor Day, we had to go to David's Bridal to pick up my dress for Angie's wedding. I was not too thrilled about going back to that place because I haven't gotten good service when I've been there - excluding my last time there, that guy was AWESOME.

I had to go because the dress I was going to wear for the wedding didn't fit. I went in about two, maybe three weeks ago and asked the guy what we could do because I had JUST found out I was pregnant when I got the dress and wasn't aware that certain parts of me would get this big (and I am not talking about my belly). He said, "Oh sure we'll just exchange it! What size do you need?" Well, I wasn't sure so he had me try on two different sizes and even brought out the alterations lady to take a look and give her opinion. We settled on a size and ordered it. It was going to come in any day.

I went to pick it up and wanted to try it on to make sure it fit. The lady had to look for my dress for like, 15 minutes. Then she came out and seemed put off by the fact that I wanted to try it on. I tried it on but couldn't zip it (in the back - go figure) so Brian tried and couldn't zip it. NOT BECAUSE OF MY SIZE THOUGH it was because there was a fabric change and it had always gotten caught up there. We waited for our lady to return but she never did so I asked a different lady to help and she said she'd be right over. During that time I asked Brian to work on it again and he got it! Then I had to go and bend over to try to pick up some shoes and "RIP!!!" the zipper split!

I am SO glad it happened there!

Long story a tad shorter, I had to pick it up and it was fine. They fixed it for free and I am glad that I will never have to go there again!!! When you get married Maria, I am going to buy my dress somewhere else!

After all of that, today was the first day of school! I have 34 kids and I am exhausted and am going to bed! It was a fantastic day and I am luck to have the kids I have!!

Adelle is growing:
Adelle can feel me dance and move! And now that she's more than 11 inches long and weighs just over a pound (about as much as a large mango), I may be able to see her squirm underneath your clothes. Blood vessels in her lungs are developing to prepare for breathing, and the sounds that your baby's increasingly keen ears pick up are preparing her for entry into the outside world. Loud noises that become familiar now — such as your dog barking or the roar of the vacuum cleaner — probably won't faze her when she hears them outside the womb. Hopefully that is true because I don't want her to be afraid of Zack or Zoey!! Only 116 days left!
