How Far Along? 22 1/2 weeks!



Size of Baby? About the size of a spaghetti squash: approximately 11 inches long, and weighs 1 pound (according to Babycenter.com).

Maternity Clothes? Yes please.

Weight Gain? I had an appointment at 19 weeks and I'm up 8 pounds total. My next appointment is a week from today.  We'll see what the holiday eating added to that weight!

Baby’s Gender? It's a BOY!

Sleep? I had a terrible cold over Christmas that I just couldn't shake.  I was sleeping on the couch propped up on pillows. I remember having a cold right around this time of year when I was pregnant with Henry, too. Not fun at all, and it affects my sleep a lot. So besides that, and the kids having colds causing them to be up at night, I hope to get some good sleep soon!

Food Cravings? Nothing new. I have always been a lover of sweets, and that continues in pregnancy.

What I am loving? I'm loving feeling him move, for the most part!

Movement? It's definitely become more regular, especially right before bed.  It's fun to feel him move around. One night when Henry was up coughing, and I was up with him, every time I tried to go back to sleep, little man was moving like crazy making sleep even more difficult! Russ was also able to feel him moving around the other night, which is fun!

What I’m looking forward to: I look forward to choosing his name. We have some ideas, but nothing had stuck yet. 

Other Updates… We are putting our house on the market in the next two weeks (much sooner than we anticipated!), so I look forward to it selling (pray, pray, pray) and hopefully being in a new home before this little man is born.
