Week 22.1 with Baby O #2!

How far along? 22.1 weeks!

How big is baby? The size of a coconut! 

Total weight gain/loss: 8 lbs! :( It's on track, but I really don't want to gain a ton!

Maternity clothes? YES! I am still wearing a few larger "regular" tops, but I am embracing the tighter fitting, bump enhancing things! Exclusively.

Sleep: I keep waking up every few hours, not really due to anything in particular, but just generally starting to get uncomfortable. It's tolerable though :)

Best moment this week: Feeling these amazing kicks and rolls. I truly love it! My placenta is apparently in the back this time (it was in the front with Benjamin) so I can feel more with this baby! :)

Movement: I am feeling all sorts of baby movement now :) Nathan finally got to feel a few days ago! 

Food cravings: Yeah... Fruit, and carbs. 

Food Aversions: Nothing really anymore! 


Gender: We are having another boy! :)

Labor Signs: No! Thank goodness!


Pregnancy symptoms: Bloating, swelling in my feet and hands... and face, constipation... 

Belly Button in or out? In.

What I miss: Not being bloated! So uncomfortable.

What I am looking forward to: Benjamin's birthday, girl day with my friends, my styled shoot Monday, and wedding festivities for my friend Anna!

Upcoming appointments/events:  October!

Weekly Wisdom: Invest in pregnancy Spanx and compression hose!

Milestones: Baby is looking like a baby and can hear me :)
