Week 22

Along: 22 weeks

Size of baby: The baby is the size of a butternut squash. Peanut is starting to look like a miniature newborn. His/her lips, eyelids, and eyebrows are becoming more distinct, and the baby is even developing tiny tooth buds beneath his/her gums. His/her eyes have formed, but the peanut's irises (the colored part of the eye) still lack pigment.

Total Weight Gain/Loss: I would guess 13-16 pounds. I have my first appointment with the new OBGYN a week from Thursday.

Maternity Clothes:  I still can wear most of my summer clothes and dresses. I haven't worn much maternity attire yet, but I know the time is coming soon.

Gender: It's a surprise! I've had two boy dreams this week, so we shall see. I think I'm carrying this baby different so then that makes me think girl. I go back and forth- we would be so excited either way.

Movement: Yes! Matt felt the peanut yesterday. It was awesome. This baby is a wild one. 

Sleep: Blah.

What I miss: When I was pregnant with Noah, people knew if they saw a belly- that I was pregnant. This time around because I already have Noah, people just think I still haven't lost my baby weight. I haven't had one person ask when I'm due. I always have to tell them. So to answer this question, I miss people knowing I'm preggo!

Cravings: Fruit and sweets

Symptoms: Exhaustion, irritability, dizziness, swollen digits, and extra small bladder.

Best Moment This Week:  My parents came up this past weekend to see the new house. We had a blast. We tried an Austin-like restaurant called the Company Café (incredible) and did some gardening/ housework. Noah loved getting to see them and decided to skip all naps on Saturday, so he wouldn't miss out. Matt's birthday is on July 9^th, so my dad and him went and picked out a new grill. Matt has already grilled three times this week. Grilling has been so fun and a great, new summer tradition to add to our family.
