Well, 21 weeks passed right on by and here we are in week 22. Oopsie daisy! And my blog views on my last post were down by half... what the heck?
These last 2 weeks have been pretty great... my belly is finally noticeable, at least when I wear clothes that are semi form fitting. And little munchkin moves every day. I am VERY pleased with how my body is progressing in this pregnancy, I'm not self conscious at all. I think my body looks beautiful and so does hubby... well he has some other choice words ;) Do not take this as conceitedness, but I am just blessed to be transforming in a way that is appealing to me... I'm not gaining very much, the weight is all belly, and no stretch marks yet!
I've been watching a lot of natural, hypno-babies births (more on that another time) as well as cloth diapering videos and sprucing up on infant scheduling (more on that later, too). But I'm not going to get into all of this right now because we haven't actually done any of it yet, or experienced it first hand. Once we try these methods, I will then discuss them. I'm not going to get into heated debates about how we choose to rear our child. If these methods work, great! If not, I'll blog about that, too. But for now, we are just researching and preparing.
*Please excuse the dirty mirror lol*
On to the questionnaire!
Total weight gain: My weight fluctuates a lot.. I can go within 5 pounds in the same day... I just checked (after eating a heavy lunch) and I am up 10 pounds. Tomorrow it could be 5 pounds less. It really changes when I eat.
Symptoms: Haven't had any more of those leg cramps (I only had 2... but they both were from the devil). But heartburn has made it's nasty debut. I don't have it every day, but it is frequent.. Tums seems to help. Ligament stretching is still occurring, which I'm sure will be the case until baby arrives. The other day I woke up and I was just sore in my lower abdomen, all across the belly. I think baby changed positions because his kicks that day were a lot lower than they have been.
Maternity clothes: Haven't added anything new since my LITTLE shopping trip... I'm desperately trying to mix and match outfits out of what I already own plus the few items I purchased.
Stretch marks: not yet
Sleep: lately I've been tossing and turning and can't seem to get comfortable. I am still peeing quite frequently when I first go to sleep. Sometimes 5 times in 30 minutes, or more. I haven't had a "solid" sleep in a while.
Best moment this week: feeling baby kick more and more!
Miss anything?: a good night's rest
Movement: Oh yes, he doesn't really have a pattern or move due to a cue, he just does it when he wants!
Food cravings: jalepeno poppers are sounding amaze-balls
Food aversions: no
Belly button: still an innie, but you can tell it's stretching
Wedding ring: fitting normal
Mood: I think I sometimes am "moody", but not too much
Looking forward to: the last holiday season with just me and Jake and truly enjoying it.. even though we are dirt poor this time around, but it will be weird to know it's our last holiday season without children!
Baby bump: You can tell I'm pregnant when I wear the right clothes.. I've had a handful of strangers notice. If I wear a loose shirt, it's a lot harder to tell... just looks like I'm fat lol.
That's all folks!!
