22 Weeks

How far along? 22 weeks, 18 to go!
This Week the baby is a size of a: Spaghetti Squash/Papaya.  Different websites tell you different foods to compare to.  Basically he is  about 1 pound and up to 11 inches long.

Total weight gain/loss: I think I've gained around 4 pounds now. But with Memorial Day cookouts and a bridal shower is this weeks extra 2 pounds fat or baby weight, who knows?!
Maternity clothes? I did have to wear my Belly Band yesterday! My pants were high wasted (like up around my belly button) and I couldn't zip or button.  It was depressing but exciting.
Belly button in or out? innie (I'm trying to keep my belly button ring in as long as possible!)

Sleep: There's two reasons I'm not sleeping.  1) I like to feel him move so I stay awake just in hopes I'll feel something.  2) It's the NBA playoffs.  Late night games = no sleep.
Best moment this week: Feeling him move! Turns out I've been feeling him for a while but just didn't know it. Silly me. 
Movement: Yeeeuuuuup! It feels like waves moving across my stomach. 
Symptoms: Well obviously my belly is growing and I've been pretty tired. I've also had some pretty drastic mood swings. My hips hurt like crazy sometimes. Nothing too exciting to report
Symptoms I DON'T have: No cravings or weird dreams.  I don't think in the second trimester there are major symptoms
Food cravings: Junk food, but I craved that before pregnancy anyway.
Gender: macho man
What I miss: i don't think anything has changed so drastically that I "miss" something. I guess I've become pretty lazy and I've been flakey lately... I actually really hate that but to be honest, sometimes I just would rather sit on the couch.
What I am looking forward to: My doctor's appointment on Tuesday.  I always like hearing the heart beat.
Weekly Wisdom: Use Palmer's Cocoa Butter for Stretch Marks, so far I'm stretch mark free!

Milestones: Growing tiny little tooth buds under his gums. 
To Do List: We've started registering and have settled on a name.  I guess the biggest thing is to start planning the nursery, but we have to clean it first.
