how far along? 22 weeks! due January 28th.
how are you measuring? at my ultrasound on Thursday, the tech said that everything is measuring just right :) I’ve gotten a few comments that I look small for 22 weeks.
size of baby: size of a papaya, about 10.5 inches (head to toe) and 1 pound!
heartbeat: 142 bpm on Thursday
total weight gain/loss: + 11 lbs
maternity clothes: wearing maternity pants now.
stretch marks: not yet.
belly button: it’s the same.
sleep: had a busy week, so hoping to make up for some sleep this weekend!
movement: I am feeling movement quite a bit! I think the baby is most active at 9 pm or so.
food cravings: I’ve been eating a lot of cereal—partially due to that I don’t have many meals planned ahead of time, and also because I get tired of standing in front of the pantry wondering what sounds good, and if it will be filling enough. We’ve also been drinking a lot of hot chocolate at night—mmm!
food aversions: not really any
gender predictions? We found out on Thursday that it’s a BOY!! I can’t really believe that I am going to be a mom of two boys. I am really thrilled that Nolan will have a buddy to play with!
symptoms I have: Still trying to elevate my legs more so that they’re not sore. Tired and hungry, but that goes without saying :)
comparisons to last pregnancy: Things are going really well—so not many differences.
doctor’s appointment: Another one is lined up for next week. I’m so glad that the ultrasound went so well—and all the baby’s brain, heart, kidneys, etc. looked perfect :)
what I’m looking forward to: This question is tripping me up right now. The end of January sounds really far away, even though the weeks are going fast. I also don’t want to rush the months, because I’m enjoying my time with Nolan so much. I suppose I’m looking forward to this season of preparation—preparing my heart for loving a new little guy, teaching myself more patience, and praying for a more easy-going nature. And of course, preparing the baby’s room, clothes, and things :)
You are just adorable! :) And congratulations on having another little BOY on the way!
ReplyDeleteCute picture !!! I love see your updates :) Although I'm a little puzzled the heart-beat wives tale has always been true as far as I knew, now it's not. But it will be fun for Nolan to have a little brother to play with :) and you will be more patient and relaxed in Jesus name :)
