22 Weeks

 And some funny Micah moments in between......

Micah's face.....too funny...

How far along? 22 weeks!!

Total weight gain:  ≈ 11  lbs! Eek!

Maternity clothes? Yup and they somehow already feel small too...

Stretch marks? No 

Sleep: Never enough!
Best moment this week: We finished putting together the dresser and I am excited to start putting together the nursery, I have a couple more items to buy for the gallery wall before I can put it all together but I am in the planning stages! We also had a fun memorial day beach day with friends. I want to upload photos but my computer is still out of commission and I don't want to overload hubby's computer!

Miss anything? Not feeling huge, unlimited coffee...wine!

Movement: Yes!! So fun!
Food cravings: Pretty much back to normal eating but much less motivated to cook!
Anything making you queasy or sick: Nope!

Showing? Oh my goodness....it's a little ridiculous at this point. I can't believe we still have 18 weeks to grow!

Gender: Girl! Although I did have a woman in a class at work who was convinced by my belly shape that I was wrong and it was a boy....I have to admit, even though she was a little cuckoo, it scared me a little!
Labor signs:  No
Symptoms: Fully belly, getting harder to move around

Belly button in or out? very much out and showing through shirts...

Wedding rings on or off? On
Happy or moody most of the time: Happy!

Looking forward to: Seeing the fabrics my mama is using for the quilts in person so I can start matching things and putting together the gallery wall in the nursery! 

Baby’s size: Spaghetti squash (or papaya)!

21 Weeks Pregnancy Update

How far along? 21 weeks!!

Total weight gain:  ≈ 7-8  lbs depending on the day! ;)

Maternity clothes? I rarely change out of workout clothes or yoga pants except for on the days I work and weekends, but on those days...yes! Finding outfits for work is increasingly difficult as I don't have any maternity work pants. I have been wearing a maxi skirt at almost every shift or one of my super cozy target maternity dresses. I need some better shoes though!

Stretch marks? No, still slathering on my earth mama oils and hoping they stay away!

Sleep: Pretty good
Best moment this week: Well I missed the update for week 18 when we found out we are having a GIRL!!! That was by far the best moment but since then I have been having so much picking out her room decor (mint, light coral, white, and grey with some gold accents) and a feather/tribal theme. My mama is going to make her a patchwork blanket and Lind is going to make her a dream catcher mobile! Soooooo excited! We were blessed with two huge bags of girls clothes (as well as a ton of boy clothes from Micah's cousin K2!!). We mostly got 6 months clothes for baby girl so little by little I am buying some girl's clothing and am just loving every minute of it! Poor daddy, he knew this was coming with a girl! We put together her crib last weekend and hope to put the dresser together this coming weekend. I just want to decorate that nursery!!

Miss anything? I've been copying and pasting my 21 week updates from my pregnancy with Micah to compare the difference and I am going to leave what I had for him:the energy & stamina to do my workouts! Everything is so much harder! It really is incredible how much more effort it takes to do the most basic workouts!

Movement: YES!! I am so excited to finally feel baby GIRL move! It started around the end of week 18 and has been getting more noticeable and frequent ever since. I absolutely love it!
Food cravings: No intense cravings really but still enjoying my favorite pastime, eating chocolate chips while reading a great book! Ahh comfort! Still loving fruit watermelon, peaches, strawberries, grapes....mmmm! Anything making you queasy or sick: Not really

Showing? YES!!!

Gender: Girl!!!!! <3 <3 <3
Labor signs:  No
Symptoms: Abdominal/ligament pain, ITCHY skin, easily winded, full belly!

Belly button in or out? proud and out

Wedding rings on or off? On
Happy or moody most of the time: A little sensitive and quicker to tears or feelings of sadness but also a lot of happiness and excitement.

Looking forward to: Putting the nursery together! Also my sisters Angie and Cassidy are coming to visit for three days! Can't wait to have a sister reunion! 

Baby’s size: Pomegranate!
 I am so bummed because my computer completely crashed and I had to wipe my hard drive clean. I lost several months worth of pictures including some maternity shots as I hadn't backed up since January! :( Thankfully, I have some saved on this blog and a few on the digital camera.

Here are some photos from the last couple weeks...just missing week 19 from the computer crash!
