22 Weeks

***Oops, this one is a day late...

Week 22

Size of Baby Walker  10.5 inches = size of a pear! 

Symptoms  My back has been hurting a little more.  I think this is mainly due to working on so many projects this week.  I am hoping to start going to some pregnancy yoga classes, when ever I get some free time.  

Cravings/Aversions  The holidays are not good for my sweet tooth.  I haven't eaten as well this week, which I don't really like.  Thanksgiving is always a treat, especially with both pumpkin pie and creme brûlée making an appearance.  Still no crazy cravings though.  I wonder if those will still come or if I'm just going to bypass most of the pregnancy symptoms...

Exercise  Well, I can say that this week I was more active than last!  I loved Thanksgiving morning when D and I took the pups on a little jog.  It was nice to get out and get moving.  I feel pretty good running, so it think it means I really should be doing more of it.

Sleep  I think part of my back hurting is that I've been sleeping funny this week.  I've also had some strange dreams this past week.   

Best moment of the week...  Besides Thanksgiving, which is amazing time to eat wonderful food, be around those you love and just relax, D actually felt the baby move this week!  We were about to go to bed and he put his warm hand on my belly and she decided to move around for him!  I think it was the warmth that made her move, because she wasn't before that.  Melts my heart.

Changes Baby belly is out in full force now.  I feel like my skin is stretching sometimes.  I am not uncomfortable yet, but I can't image how it's going to feel 10 weeks from now... I got this amazing oil from a friend and still have been using it for stretch marks.  It smells heavenly and doesn't leave your skin oily.  Pregnant friends, you should definitely get some!!    

Looking forward to finishing the major items on my registry.  I still need to go and have my cloth diapers added.  Yep, I'm going for it.  It might be my slightly 'granola side', but I am super excited to use GroVia diapers.  We got an amazing sale over the Black Friday extravaganza for some of the inserts, but need to add all the items soon.
