22 Weeks
So it's been a little crazy around here with guests, that's why I'm late with my blog post. But we had fun!!! I'm feeling really good. I was getting a little concerned because the baby wasn't moving as much as I'd felt it in the past. I think the reason was because I had gotten used to the small flutters that were the baby moving. But yesterday we were hanging out in Boulder and the baby decided it wanted to start moving like crazy again. And this time, he/she wanted to really be kicking not just fluttering. Then we went on a Celestial Seasonings tour and in the peppermint room I got so relaxed and the smell was so intoxicating that the baby started kicking again. Then last night we went to dinner on the 16th Street Mall, to a Mexican restaurant, and then to the Avs game last night. The baby must like Mexican food, or hate it, because he/she was going insane in my belly. Artie got to feel some really good kicks again. :-) Such fun times.
22 Week Quiz
How far along: 22 weeks and 6 days today
Weight gain: I weighed myself yesterday and I'm up 15 - 16 pounds. I feel like that's a huge jump from last week, but my belly definitely grew this week.
Maternity clothes: I am mostly in maternity stuff now. Occasionally I wear some old shirts (if they're long enough) and pants with the belly band.
Stretch marks: My belly is soooooo itchy, I think I'm stretching, but I'm still using the cocoa butter and lotion. Hopefully that stuff works.
Sleep: I sleep pretty good with the bathroom break once a night.
Best moment of the week: Having other people feel the baby, and feeling him/her actually kick from the outside myself too.
Movement: He/She is moving a lot again!
Food cravings: I don't have any cravings as of right now.
Labor signs: No!
Belly button in or out: Still in... hopefully for a long time.
What I miss: I miss being able to be more agile.
What I'm looking forward to: Finishing out this week, although it's a busy one, and then getting to celebrate Thanksgiving. I have sooo much to be thankful for.
Weekly wisdom: Help others when they're suffering and where it's needed.
Milestones: At 11 inches (the length of a spaghetti squash) and almost 1 pound, your baby is starting to look like a miniature newborn. His lips, eyelids, and eyebrows are becoming more distinct, and he's even developing tiny tooth buds beneath his gums. His eyes have formed, but his irises (the colored part of the eye) still lack pigment. If you could see inside your womb, you'd be able to spot the fine hair (lanugo) that covers his body and the deep wrinkles on his skin, which he'll sport until he adds a padding of fat to fill them in. Inside his belly, his pancreas — essential for the production of some important hormones — is developing steadily.
