Monday Morning Pop Tart

Week 22: You tagged along on lots of hot sessions this week but we both managed well. =) I got to hear your heartbeat again... 145 bpm this time. I also got a great report from Dr. A so yay for that! You Dad and I got to hang out more too, so that was nice too. =) You’re wiggling around a lot - hope you’re nice and comfy in there!

Highlights

How Far Along: 22 weeks

Size of baby: Papaya

Total Weight Gain/Loss: Shoot! I forgot to ask. I can't remember what I weighed last time so I don't know what I gained this month or total. I do know I gained again though. ha! Like I had any doubt! =)

Maternity Clothes: Yeah buddy! Several of the items I bought in the first weeks are already too small. Oops! =) Round two!

Gender: We're going to be surprised. Most friends and family are guessing boy but there are a few holding out for a girl. We really don't care one way or another - we'll be thrilled with either.

Movement: Yes. It all still feels pretty low but I'll occasionally feel punches higher up.

Sleep: I've added my body pillow back to the mix and it's helping. I'm still having quite a bit of pain in the evenings and wake up with a super sore back but it's at least helping me to sleep for longer periods of time. 

Symptoms: Clearer skin. I'LL TAKE IT! =) That's a definite improvement over the first few months. Back/hip pain. Swelling.

What I miss: Ankles. =) ha!

Cravings: Chocolate milk and lots of it!

Best Moment this week: Hearing the baby's perfect heartbeat and getting a good report at the doctor's office. 

What I am looking forward to: Dac being able to feel the baby move.
