Week 22 Updates

So this picture was taken after driving 5 hours and then going to help my family finish their tree. So ignore the far away picture, the car drive hair, and the fact that I’m up on a chair. You get the idea. You can still see the small belly.

Weekly Questions

How far along? 22 weeks!

How Big Is The Baby? The baby is about 11 inches and weighs almost a pound.

Total weight gain: Today I’m at 142.8. I’m now 1.8 lb past my pre-pregnancy weight with an overall weight gain of 9.8 lbs.

Maternity Clothes: Yep, they’re what fits best. But again, I am still wearing non-maternity tops as long as they have the length I need. Desiree is letting me borrow a couple of cute sweaters and dresses and I can’t wait to wear them!

Sleep: So far, it’s been great this week.

Food cravings: Again, no real food cravings. Just drinking lots of apple juice and actually eating real food again.

What I miss: Cohen is sitting on my bladder so I do have to go to the bathroom all of the time. I guess I miss drinking without wondering where the closest bathroom is just in case I have to go 10 minutes later.

What I am looking forward to: My appointment tomorrow. I get to hear his little heartbeat again!

Milestones: Cohen kicked for his Gigi and wiggled for his Aunt Des so that was pretty cool. I can also feel more of his body now when he moves. Nana and Mimi felt his little body this week too! Cohen moves a lot so most of the time Tyler and I sit around feeling him. Also, his changing table from his Papa and Gigi came in the mail! Now his nursery has all of the furniture. Time to start decorating!
