22 Weeks and I feel…

HOW FAR ALONG –  22 weeks! Time is flyin’!

////

TOTAL WEIGHT GAIN-    I thought 8 lbs…maybe 10 lbs…..but it was 11 lbs. I am a healthy lady!  Growin’ like a wildflower!!!  😉

////

MATERNITY CLOTHES?-     Absolutely this week. In fact, I have to go find just a couple more shirts/dresses today on my day off. The things I thought that would fit have surprised me by not being so comfy. SHOCKING. 😉

////

STRETCH MARKS?-    Nope. I am bathing in creams even though I KNOW that stretch marks are genetic (from what every woman tells me). I can’t help it. It’s an extra reason to rub my belly, and it eases the itchies from stretching. I’ve been hearing that they sneak attack the belly the last few weeks. Joyous news, for sure.

////

SLEEP?-  A couple insomnia nights this week, but no pee breaks! So, in general, a great sleep week! No crazy dreams, either.

////

BEST MOMENT THIS WEEK?-    Feeling Elsie even MORE! She is getting so strong. Also, buying some cool decor for her nursery. It’s going to be so fun getting in there to decorate. We don’t move until late July now, so it’s frustrating having to wait. I’m dealing with this crazy time frame quite nicely, though.

 ////

MISS ANYTHING?-     Super sweaty workouts. THE SUNSHINE!!! Regular clothes. My golden tan. <—-Still all of that.

////

MOVEMENT?-  Yep! A lot more!

////

FOOD CRAVINGS?-  Gone.

////

FOOD AVERSIONS?-   Gone.

////

GENDER-  Our baby is a sweet AND active girl.

////

SYMPTOMS-    Still beaming with happiness on a daily basis. I feel like not much can get me down. DON’T try to test this, please. 😉 I am definitely tired earlier than ever. I huff and puff walking small distances. I am still working out (walking/lunges) every other day. However, I still become breathless at the slightest activity. My breakouts are slowly going away again. I hope they never come back. Other than that…nothing bad!

 ////

WEDDING RINGS ON OR OFF?   ON :)

////

LOOKING FORWARD TO-  Starting our birthing classes May 14th. I know Darren is soooo excited about it, too. Hahahaha. Yea, right.

Belly at 22 weeks!

It really does get bigger every week. I’m waiting for a week where it doesn’t get bigger, but just changes shape. Lots of preggo friends have reported this happening at about my stage. However, I just feel like Elsie is growing sooo much every week. I’m happy about that, of course. But, I really…really…really hope she doesn’t turn into a 10 lb baby! And if she does, I’ll just be happy she is healthy 🙂 She is really making a scene inside my belly this week. LOTS of kicks and jabs. Every time it makes me giggle because it’s like she just suddenly goes haywire. I wonder if she knows how much she is amusing me these days? My crazy girl.
