22 Weeks

Today I am 22 weeks pregnant!

Pregnancy highlights:

Size of Baby: Baby H now weighs about ONE pound and measures 11 inches long, about the length or a spaghetti squash! 

Total Weight Gain/Loss: +5 since my last doctors visit.

Baby's heartbeat at last visit: 146 BPM

Maternity Clothes: YES

Gender: We are having a BOY!

Movement: Every once in a while I think I will feel something but again not 100% sure but I know any day now I'll be feeling him. (I'm so excited I can say "him")

Sleep: This week ever since I found out I'm having a boy I have been sleeping great. That's if I have Tom's pillow to hug, kind of like a body pillow, but on the weekends he needs his pillow to sleep so I have to adjust. I still think I need to invest in a cheap body pillow.

What I miss: Being able to get out of bed without feeling like I'm rolling out. It's so funny, I will try and get up like I used to then it hits me, I have this big belly and I can't just use my stomach muscles to help me up I actually have to push myself or just roll. The next 4 1/2 months will be interesting.

Cravings: Still just seem to be hungry all the time.

Symptoms: Nope, just a growing belly and I feel like, they don't feel like anymore THEY ARE, my boobs are really growing, just what I need. I'm a hunt for a new bra this weekend.

Best Moment This Week: Wow there are so many best moments this week. First Thanksgiving, it was great catching up with the family and hearing all there exciting news. Finding out the gender of our baby! The party my brother and sister-in-law threw for us was amazing. I didn't imagine it to be anything like it was, it was awesome. Going to Timmerman's for mom and dad's 43rd wedding anniversary. And last but not least ordering the bedding for our little guy. Thanks to mom she is getting this for him. Here's a picture of the three I really liked.

Here's the link if anyone wants to take a look at it, it came from Baby Supermall mom and I were on the phone looking online for about an hour and both fell in love with this one. Tom seemed to like it as well. Now to find a crib for this little man to sleep.
