22 weeks {in our Christmas pj’s}

How Far Along: 22 weeks

Size of baby: Baby #2 is the size of a spaghetti squash

Total Weight Gain/Loss: Not entirely sure, the last weight I have is +11 and I won’t go back to the doctor until next week. It’s definitely more, being pregnant through the holidays is going to get me in trouble.

Maternity Clothes: Loving maternity pants, but no maternity tops or dresses as of now. I haven’t even purchased a single top or dress.

Gender: A boy!! He still remains nameless, we actually have it narrowed down, but we have yet to make the final decision.

Movement: YES!! So much movement! I am loving all of the kicks and rolls, Allen has feels him move on a regular basis and Braylen wants to, but she doesn’t quite understand. Her attention span is short and she ends up saying, “well I’ll just hold him when we go get him out.”

Sleep: still great!

What I miss:  Side sleeping is for the birds, I miss sleeping on my stomach.

Cravings: Nothing note worthy. Just food in general. Actually, all the food in general.

Symptoms: I’m really feeling good in this second trimester, cruising to the uncomfortable third, so I’ll take this easy time as long as I can get it. I do feel like time is moving an incredibly slow rate. Maybe it’s the anticipation for what’s ahead, and I’ve never been one to rush time, but I feel like I’ve been pregnant for year rather than months.

Best Moment this week:  Christmas! I can’t believe we’ll have an 8 month old this time next year. It’s crazy to think about all of the changes that will come with next Christmas, but I’m certain it will only get better.

And because I feel like this is more accurate view of the bump these days. I snapped a comparison shot before working out on Sunday. He’s definitely growing!
