22 Weeks Pregnancy Update

April 11, 2018

How far along:

22 weeks

Baby is the size of a:

Corn on the Cobb or a Water Bottle. He weighs around 1lb now!

Total weight gain:

22lbs. I’m always shocked when I step on the scale every week, but I guess it is what it is. I gained a lot with Fox too, so I’m trying not to let it bother me, but it still does.

Maternity Clothes?

Both. Some of my regular shirts are getting too short now.

Stretch Marks?

Not yet.

Sleep?

Same as before. Rolling over is becoming a job.

Best moment of the Week:

A little bit of baby shopping and just spending time with Katie and Fox.

Movement:

Constantly. But once I put my hand on my belly, he stops, or when I try to record his kicks on camera, he calms down. Little stinker.

Food Cravings:

Nothing special.

Belly Button in or out:

In, but definitely flattening out.

Gender:

Sweet baby boy!

Symptoms:

Pregnancy Acne, although it has mostly moved to just my back now. I’m also getting out of breath easily and I lose my patience quickly these days. I’m starting to get backaches too, but I hope I have a few weeks before it becomes bad.

Anything Making you queasy or Sick?

Feeling really good!

Have you Started to Show yet?

Yes! Although my sister in law said I don’t look pregnant at all from the front, just from the side.

What I miss:

Same as last week: Sleeping through the night and some days I really crave soda.

What I'm looking forward to:

Getting really anxious to start the nursery. Katie pointed out last night that he won’t be sleeping in there for a while anyway, but I just want to get that room done before he arrives. I think it’ll be a while though!

What I'm not looking forward to:

Nothing.

July iPhone dump

The rest of our July in pictures! Movie date with the boys! I took Finn and his best friend to the Aquarium one day, while Fox was at the allergist with Katie. They both had a blast. Trying to touch the sting rays... Sweet brotherly moment at a play place. One of my patients made this for me, and it made my day. It's now hanging from the mirror in my car, as a reminder how fragile life is. This kid kills me with his watermelons. He always wants to buy them, so he can help me cut them, but then won't eat them. When I pointed this out to him, he simply replied that I could take the watermelon to my co-workers again because they love it when I do. Fox told me he is allergic to Goodwill and puts on this big act whenever I make them go. His throat starts to be itchy and he can't breathe. We might have to get him tested again...hahaha. We visited a lot of play places this summer to stay out of the heat. This was at a library and the kids played with this lite-brite forever. Finn...

April phone dump

Some more pictures of our April. He's my bed hog, but I love sharing the bed with him and the way he comes find me in his sleep to snuggle up to me. Work Crew! Easter Preparations...it took me a solid hour to fill all the eggs. Finn chipped his permanent front tooth, and had to get it fixed. He was so brave. I tried to hold his hand to let him know I was there, and he kept giving me a thumbs up. Reading in bed with them is my favorite. We went to play mini golf, and it was an absolutely shit show. Just look at Finn in the background, he was on fire on this day. That's his "cool face". Not pictured are all the times he melted down because he wasn't "good enough". I really need to stop playing this game with him, because it happens every single time...haha. Book Club! I wasn't a fan of the book, but it was great getting out and talking about books with other readers. He got into kinetic sand for a few weeks, and I felt like my floors were covered in s...
