22 Weeks

Size of Baby: According to Baby Center, she’s the length of a spaghetti squash at 11 inches. She’s almost a pound!

Total Weight Gain/Loss: As far as I can tell, I’m up about 5 pounds.

Maternity Clothes: Pants are a must…Bella Band or the rubber band trick is required if I don’t wear maternity pants. Shirts are slowly becoming necessary too. If they were loose fitting before pregnancy I can probably still get away with them, but a lot aren’t fitting!

Gender: It’s a GIRL! Emma Ramey…and a few people have asked, yes, we are planning on doing a double name. I’m not going to be obsessive about it, but we’d like for it to stick.

Belly Button In/Out: Definitely still in, but I’m starting to see some stretching.

Stretch Marks: No stretch marks, but of ALL things I have a tiny vericose vein on my belly! How weird is that? I thought it was a bruise for a couple of weeks, but got to looking closely this weekend and realized what it was. I’ve never heard of that!

Movement: Yes, bigtime! She’s most active in the evening and at night, but I’ll occasionally feel a kick during the day. And Noah FINALLY got to feel her for the first time Sunday! It was a cool moment. Then, a few hours later, I saw my belly move for the first time. She’s really stepped up her game this week! 🙂

Sleep: Not bad, but the pregnancy pillow is a must. I roll over on my stomach without it!

What I miss: Nothing!

What I am looking forward to: Working on the nursery and going to our first class this weekend!

Cravings/Aversions: Really back to normal this week. I haven’t been as hungry at night for some reason. And I get full a lot easier, but also get hungry a lot easier.

Symptoms: Not much of anything. Round ligament pain if I move funny, a little bit of a waddle starting, but that’s about it! Sometimes all I have to remind me I’m pregnant is the big (and moving) belly!

Best Moment This Week: Noah getting to feel her kick!

Weekly Wisdom: I got nothing this week, honestly. 🙂
