I haven't done one of these updates in a while, so I decided it was time!
How far along? 22 weeks
Baby's size? 8 inches, 1.2 lbs - about the size of a papaya
Weight gain? 14 lbs
Sleep? Sleep is fine! I have to get up about 2-3 times a night to use the restroom, but who's counting?
Foods I am loving? Orange juice, peanut butter crackers, hot chocolate
Foods I am hating? Nothing really, although I still choose not to eat bacon and coffee
Best moment this week? I am feeling baby boy move sooo much, and I LOVE IT!!! It is so amazing to know when he is sleeping and when he is awake. I think he appreciates food as much as his momma because he goes CRAZY after I eat. But my favorite moment this week was definitely when Patrick got to feel him kick. Usually he doesn't kick hard enough to feel from the outside, but one night I had a bad nightmare that must have gotten him really going (I'm guessing it was my heart rate). I woke up to him kicking like a soccer player and grabbed Patrick's hand really quickly. He was SO happy when he felt him! It was definitely one of the most amazing moments that I will always remember!
Symptoms? Just going to the bathroom a lot more. No complaints though! I absolutely LOVE being pregnant at this point, and my misery in the first trimester has almost been forgotten! Maybe I can do this again?!?!?!
Gender? A sweet baby boy. We are still "marinating" on his name and practicing using it, but it is such an important decision that I'm so nervous to make the final call! Once we are 100% I will announce his name!
What I miss? Alcohol. I want wine, beer, egg nog, bloody mary's, champagne. Jeez...I could go on and on!! And I don't even drink that much!
What I'm looking forward to? Seeing sweet baby boy on ultrasound next Friday!
Emotions: Like I already mentioned, I am absolutely LOVING being pregnant. I am on cloud 9!!
I'm ready to hear his name, mostly so I can stop referring to him as a high heeled shoe! :)
