Week 22

The Date: June 12-18, 2013

How far along? 22 weeks

Total weight gain/loss: 7 pounds!!! 

Baby Size: Baby is the size of a papaya! He is 10.5-11.8 inches long and about 13-20 ounces.

Things I learned about Baby:  He can now hear my heart beat, my stomach churn, and the sound of our voices pretty clearly. He also now has eyelids and more developed eyes that continue to sense light. His brain is growing and developing complex neurological connections. 

Maternity clothes:

 Definitly need to buy some more clothes now. I have really popped out this week. It's a pretty drastic change from two weeks ago when I took my last picture!

Changes I've noticed: My stomach is huge! I'm gained 5 of my 7 pounds in the last three weeks! I asked my doctor if I was doing something wrong and he said I was fine. So...I guess that is normal for first pregnancy.

Sleep: Sleep could be better. But it's not terrible. I just have to prop myself up the right way. I do miss laying on my stomach and back! 

Best Moment this week: Hearing babies heart beat at 155 and celebrating Landon's first Father's Day. We called if First-ish Father's Day. I served him breakfast (from the baby) and we played tennis together and swam. It was exciting to think about how different Father's Day will be next year.

I also received a pregnancy book in the mail about maternity fashion! That was fun! and I go my invitation to my Boca Shower! I'm so excited! :)

Miss anything: Sleeping on my stomach and back. I'm tired of my sides! I can sleep on my back in i lay on the couch, that doesn't seem to bother me or the baby. As soon as I lie down on the flat bed it just doesn't work anymore.

Crave anything: Not really. But watermelon is tasting pretty delicious.

Movement: So much movement! It's crazy though, he kicks and I grab Landon's hand and put it on my stomach and he stops...so he still hasn't felt him move yet. Hopefully soon! (I know I've been saying that for about 3 weeks now but....we'll see.) 

Anything making you queasy or sick: Well, people were talking potty humor the other day and I just about threw up! I was also really hot so that didn't help. I never do well with that kind of thing but for some reason it just seems to be worse right now.

Showing: Totally! I'm feeling like I have an inner-tube around my stomach! One that I can't ditch when I get out of the pool. haha

Labor Signs: none


Belly Button: still in! Thank goodness! I hope it doesn't pop out soon. 

Wedding Rings: Still fit! yay! 

Moods: I have been feeling great and normal until last night I just about cried over the tiniest thing. I just told myself that it wasn't real, just pregnancy hormones and I got over it in a few minutes. I can be so sensible to a fault! In this case it is working out for me. 

Dreams: Oh so many! I don't remember anything exciting at the moment. I don't like dreaming...I like solid peaceful sleep! I do miss that. 

Baby Preparations: Made a baby registry at Baby's R Us for my Boca Shower that is next week. I also made some more little baby booties! These were heather grey to go with a newborn outfit I'm hoping to get to take him home from the hospital in. :)

I am looking forward to...Looking forward to Dance camp this week, heading to Boca next week, and having a baby shower with my Boca friends and family!
