22 Weeks

How far along? 22 1/2 weeks


Baby Size: A papaya! About 8 inches and 1.2 lbs.


Total weight gain: 16 lbs. 


Maternity clothes? Absolutely! Although I am still rocking my nike shorts and yoga pants a lot.


Food cravings: Still craving that sugar. Mostly cookies and milk at night.


Feeling: I’m still feeling great! I am loving all this energy I’ve had lately.


Sleep: It’s been a little better. I’m still getting up about 3 times a night to use the bathroom.


Miss Anything? Other than being able to bend and sleep normally, I’m not missing anything.


Movement: All the time! It’s the neatest thing. His kicks are starting to get a little stronger.

Anything making you queasy or sick: Nope! Not anymore!

Looking forward to: putting new carpet in next week, and all of my family coming to visit for the 4th.

Bump: Hasn’t grown any in the last couple of weeks, but I’m thankful for the slow down.  If you follow me on Instagram, you’ve probably seen pictures of my growing belly. Luckily I’m all belly (so far) and haven’t gained any inches any where else! 🙂 Let’s hope it stays that way for a while.

Exercise: Walking 1.5 miles every night and swimming a couple of times a week. It’s getting harder to walk outside because of the heat, but I’m still managing.


Nursery: The nursery is officially painted!!! We are putting new carpet in next week, and then we will go buy the furniture that we picked out a couple of weeks ago! I’m super excited for it to start looking like a real nursery instead of an empty room.


Doctor Visit: Our visit went great! They checked Hampton’s organs on the ultrasound and she said everything was perfect. We have a very healthy boy! My next visit will be my last 4 week appointment and I will have my glucose test done that day. I’m kind of dreading that.
