22 Weeks

Pregnancy Highlights

How Far Along: 22 Weeks
Size of Baby:  About 1 pound in weight and 8 inches in length.
Total Weight Gain/Loss: The last time I was at the doctor I had gained 5 pounds – I bet I have gained 10 by now.Gender: Your guess is as good as ours!
Movement: Tons!  The babe already seems to have a little schedule of his/her own.  Just like clockwork it feel kicks at 6:30 AM, it’s like a silent alarm.  It must go back to sleep while I’m getting ready for work but around 8:30 AM and throughout the rest of the day I feel and “see” kicks and jabs.
What I Miss: No limitations.  I sure do miss being able to just lift and move whatever I wanted.  I know that it’s for my and the babe’s safety, but I’m sure missing it!
Cravings: No real cravings but I do seem to be eating more and more all the time!
Symptoms: Nothing unusual – I have some lower back pain and some muscle aches, but nothing that I can’t handle!
Best Moment This Week: I forgot to blog about this and rereading last week’s post made me realize that I haven’t mention that Derek switched jobs.  He is now working for Hancock Concrete.  He loves his new job and is so much happier and feels like it’s a way better fit.  I couldn’t have asked for better timing for this as he was really struggling at Westmor!  Everything happens for a reason I guess!
What I'm Looking Forward To: I have another doctor’s appointment on the 17th.  Is it weird that I LOVE going to the doctor?
