22 Weeks

This week: 22 weeks and it's amazing how much BIGGER I feel. Kinda huge actually.
Total weight gain/loss: hmmm, that's a good question. I haven't weighed myself since my last appointment so I guess I'll find out the answer at my next appointment.
Sleep: It varies. We've had to start sleeping with the air conditioner on because it just gets too darn hot during the day and it never cools off in the house at night, no matter how wide open are windows are. So pre-air conditioner, the sleep wasn't so hot...well, actually it was too hot...but you know what I mean. But now that it's cooler in our house and I'm using my pregger pillow, the sleep is actually pretty good! AND...this is big news...I actually went TWO nights last week where I didn't wake up in the middle of the night to pee!!! Small victories people. Small victories.
Best moment of the week: Every time our little boy kicks is the best moment and actually this morning, he was moving so much right before I got out of bed that I just laid there longer so I could feel his movements. He was turning somersaults for sure.
Movement: So busy in there and I'm enjoying it as much as I can now since everyone tells me it's not so great later when he gets elbows and feet in my ribs. Fun fun.
Food cravings: Oh the cravings. Sugar definitely. I'm trying to limit that although you could say I'm taking baby steps in that direction. It just always sounds SO GOOD.
Gender: Muchacho
What I miss: Sitting in a chair and not having my ribs hurt. OR Sleeping a full night and waking up the next morning thinking the night went by too fast. OR Shopping for summer clothes that are cute and fun rather than looking at the clothes and thinking, nope, can't buy that 'cause I'll only wear it for a few months. Soooo, there's kind of a lot but I don't really try to dwell on those things too much. It'll just be nice when I get some of that back.
What I am looking forward to: Trying out camping again this weekend - last weekend didn't go so well (more about that later) so we're gonna give it another go. Oh and the movie we're planning to see on Friday night - Iron Man 2. Can't wait for the popcorn! We're trying to get all those activities in that we won't be able to do as much later.
Weekly wisdom: Lately it's been all about diapers - cloth diapers to be exact. Since we've made the decision to go that route, I've been trying to gather as much information as possible and those that use cloth diapers are full of GREAT information!
Milestones: Little dude is about 1 whole pound now! That means I can now say that although I may have gained 10 pounds, it's really only 9 pounds. Nice.
