22 Weeks

Just got back from vacation in Galveston with family.  It was such a nice 7 day hiatus from the norm. Warm weather, laying by the pool...reading LOTS of books, doing a bit of work. A little fishing, little shopping. So nice.

Pregnancy Highlights

How Far Along: 22 weeks (baby is the size of a spaghetti squash)

Total Weight Gain/Loss: About 12 lbs.

Maternity Clothes: All maternity pants, shorts and shirts, but I can still wear some of my pre-preggo dresses. Maternity is usually most comfortable though.  The warmer weather is definitely a plus in the clothing department....I'm hot all the time!

Gender: We'll all have to wait til July 29th :)

Movement: Feeling movement all the time.  Mostly when I'm laying down, and always right after meals and when I go to bed.  Will has felt her (I'm saying her, and Will's saying he...we don't love using "it" all the time) on the outside a couple times.  We also get hiccups a lot!

Sleep: Most nights are great but a couple times a week I'll be pretty restless.  Restless leg syndrome gets me 3-4 times a week...always in my right leg!

Exercise:  I haven't gone much the past couple weeks, mostly due to traveling/vacation.  My workouts are a bit more modified but I'm still loving staying in a bit better shape :)

Symptoms: Nothing much yet...I still am pretty tired most days by 9pm. I can tell my belly is growing. I've started getting a few sharp pains/cramps in my lower abdomen almost every morning...growing pains.  Also had a bit of back pain the past few days. Can't complain too much though, overall I feel great.

Cravings: No strong cravings really...I just feel like I'm always hungry.This week I want honey on everything...and bread and yogurt. 

Best Moment this week: Will's face when he felt the baby for the first time (actually a bit closer to 21 weeks, but since I didn't do a post for last week...)
