How Far Along? 22 weeks
Size of Baby: Zucchini
Weight Gain: 14 lbs. since pre-pregnancy weight
Maternity Clothes: I’ve been wearing a lot of my maternity dresses to school this past week.
Nursery: Continuing to research items for our baby registry {Please share any recommendations!!}
Movement: Yes! This is probably one of my favorite parts about being pregnant so far. I love randomly feeling baby move throughout the day. It’s a special moment that only I get to share with baby… unless of course Tom is quick enough to catch a movement as well!
Symptoms: A belly that is now noticeable in public! I love that I’m past the the stage where it just looks like I am starting to gain a little weight in my mid-section.
Sleep: Still sleeping pretty well — Lyla has been extra cuddly at night and wants to snuggle up against me at all times, so I’m wondering if she’s starting to sense that something is up!
Cravings: Milk and oreos.
What I Miss: One of the top 5 questions I get asked is whether or not I miss drinking alcohol. Surprisingly, I haven’t felt like I’ve been missing out on much! I haven’t craved an occasional glass of wine or mimosa when we’re out for brunch with friends, and I sure don’t miss the hangovers 🙂
Best Moment This Week: Watching my belly move! This was the first time that I stopped to not only feel baby’s movements, but watch my belly move as well–such an amazing thing!
Looking Forward To: Having a fetal echo done this week. Since I had open heart surgery when I was two, the doctors want to check out baby’s heart to make sure all is well!
