Seeing as I'm already half way through this pregnancy, I figure maybe its finally time to kick it into gear and start keeping record so I can remember the fun details. So here it goes.
My 22 week picture. The belly has grown big time (and the hair is in desperate need of a trim. I'm not even sure what is going on in the back at this point. I blame Hubs for not letting me know before he took this picture immediately before leaving).

I had my September appointment today and things look great. He has a solid, strong heartbeat in the 140s and is perfectly active.
How far along?: 22.5 weeks
How big is baby?: He is almost a foot long (about the size of a spaghetti squash in comparison to food).
Weight Gain?: Up until 19weeks, I had gained a half a pound total. At 22.5 weeks I've gained 5 pounds total. Yeah- 4.5lbs in 3 weeks. Uhhh… at least I look more pregs than chubs these days.
Stretch Marks?: Nope.
Maternity Clothes?: This week started my first go with any maternity wear. I'm still squeezing most of that prego butt in reg shorts but some days its really pushing it and I've had to give in and pull out the maternity shorts… I should probably start shopping soon if I want to leave the house in things other than gym clothes or pajamas.
Sleep?: I'm doing pretty well with sleep most nights. I usually wake up once during the night feeling like I'm about to pee my pants but can normally get back to sleep quickly.
Best moment this week?: At today's dr appointment, we were listening to the baby's heart beat and Chey looked a little scared at the loud noise. I immediately told her Mommy was ok and what she was hearing was baby's heartbeat. She repeated "beat baby." The doctor and I laughed and Cheyanne just smiled.
Food Cravings?: None still. Is that weird?
Gender?: "He" is confirmed.
Movement?: He already has his nights and days messed up. At midnight, he is partying away in there. He's a strong boy that loves to move.
What I miss?: After most days with a toddler on my own- wine.
Belly Button?: Still there with my pretty bling.
Labor Signs?: No.
What I'm looking forward to?: Everything.
Milestone?: I've started collecting a few baby boy clothes as I come across them at the Airman's Attic. The ones I have now have been washed, folded, and put away. Girl clothes are way cuter… but our boy will still be pretty cute in them.
