Kelly Belly-22 weeks

How Far Along: 22 weeks!

Size of Baby: she is the size of a spaghetti squash...it would help if I had a clue what that even was :)

Maternity Clothes Yes....pretty much all maternity shirts.  I still wear a couple of non-maternity T's from Old Navy but they are starting to get pretty short.  I need to get some more shorts because I only have one pair and I wear them everyday!  I know my husband is getting tired of seeing me in them....

Weight Gain:  + 10 pounds overall

Stretch Marks:  nothing new

Belly Button:  still the same but it is feeling really tight around the edges...



Sleep:   sleep is pretty good.  I wake up every time I want to turn over and my hips hurt.  I am getting used to this though and trying to sleep on top of my body pillow to help.  I am still peeing at least 3 times a night.  



Best Moment of the Week:  Lonnie being able to feel her move again.  I swear he is like a calming influence on her.  Every time he would put his hand on my belly she would be totally still.  


I also put my iPod ear buds on my tummy and let her listen to a little Bob Marley and she seemed to like it.  Lots of rolling around!


I also loved spending time with my honey while he was off this week. Lots of lake time and lots of afternoon naps :)


Movement all the time.  She is such a wiggle worm!

Symptoms:   still peeing a ton.  Still lactating, which I am sure will continue to the end.  My muscles are feeling crampy all the time.  You know when you wake up in the morning and stretch out?  Well my legs go into complete cramps when I do that.  

Food Cravings/Aversions:  My sweet tooth has definitely kicked in.  This week I made these pretzel/rolo/pecans thingies.  Basically you put mini pretzels on a baking sheet and put a rolo on top.  Bake them for a minute or two and then take them out.  Press a pecan on top of them.  YUMMY!!


Gender: precious little princess :)

What I Miss: nothing really...maybe sleeping on my back....

What I'm Looking Forward to: I honestly look forward to every day being pregnant.  
  
Weekly Wisdom: no wisdom from me this week...

Milestones:  making it to 22 weeks and feeling her move all the time!


And here is the 22 week belly!
