Week 22

How far along?  22 Weeks
Size of Baby:  Papaya
Total weight gain/loss: about 5 lbs.
Maternity clothes?  Yep, fully in maternity wear out in public since non-maternity is snug and short!
Sleep:  For the most part, it is working.  There was one night that I woke up at about 4:30 and couldn’t get back to sleep.  I am happy that my body and Simba are starting to let me nap!
Best moment this week:  It is very basic, but I loved Sunday afternoon!  Wes no longer has youth in the evenings so when church is done about noon, he is done for the day.  So we went home, I took a nap while he played with Simba and worked.  We then walked into town and had some great discussions!  It was just a relaxing and wonderful Sunday with my love!
Miss Anything? My energy on a consistent basis!  I have learned and seen a cycle that when I feel great I do a lot and then my body takes about 2 days to recover with no energy and headaches.  I need to start pacing myself so I can stop this cycle.
Movement: Baby is moving so much and getting so much stronger!  Baby likes to either think my bladder is a trampoline or kicks on one spot consistently causing me to be sore.  I think baby is bruising me from the inside, but I still love it since that means baby is getting so much stronger!  Baby is also moving more and more with each passing day!
Food cravings: strawberries
Anything making you queasy or sick:  I hate my vitamins!  They don’t make me sick but just feel crappy.  I take them at night so I can sleep through it but the nights I can’t get to sleep it comes up on me and delays sleep even longer.
Gender prediction:  No strong feelings this week.
Labor Signs: Nope
Symptoms:  Constantly peeing, leaking milk, and major low back and hip pain
Belly Button in or out? In
Wedding rings on or off? On
Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy!  I have been feeling really good and the kicks are getting so strong that every time I feel baby I get a huge smile and just talk to him/her.
Looking forward to:  Fabric shopping with my mom!  We are making the baby bedding and started looking at fabrics a few weeks ago but we are heading to the biggest fabric store in the area and I am so excited to get started with things for the nursery!
