Week 22

How far along: 22 weeks 2 days

Total weight gain: 12 pounds

Best Moments this Week: We saw the doctor yesterday and Baby girl is healthy and growing right on track. I saw my family this weekend and was grateful for the time I was able to spend with them. I got back in town late and I walked in to dinner already in the making which was awesome! Chris made enchiladas AND cleaned up the kitchen afterwards. :) We also picked a name! We are naming her after my grandfather... but that's all you get for now.

Miss anything: Jeans that button and being able to bend down and pick something up off the floor (I always forget until I'm half way down and then I regret it)

Movement: Lots. I can feel her flip and kick and squirm and it truly is amazing. Chris also felt her for the first time this week. He had his hand on my tummy and she kicked pretty hard. His eyes got big and he said she's going to be a soccer player.

Food Cravings: cereal and milk, fruit, and rolo's

Symptoms: craving sweets, needing more time to accomplish something, dry skin (where's my glow?), the urge to nest but not the energy to actually do it. LOL.

Size of baby: about 8 inches from head to rump and weighs a bit over 1 pound.

Feelings: Getting more and more excited about Baby Girl making her appearance. I really have enjoyed being pregnant with her. Sure, I can't bend down or wear my old clothes, but feeling her move and grow is so cool. I'm anxious about being a good mom and getting everything done to be ready for her when she gets here...but I know it's all good.
