How Far Along: 22
Weeks!
How Big is Baby: whoah, belly! the size of a spaghetti squash (8 inches, 1
pound!)
Sleep: I am still
happy to report that Emma is sleeping through the night! Most of the time she goes down between 7 and
7:30 and will sleep until 6 – 6:30. A
few mornings she prefers to wake up at 5am- silly girl. I am now officially sleeping on my side-
which stinks! And waking up several
times a night to go to the restroom. But
really, I can’t complain because my baby is FINALLY sleeping through the
night!
Diet/Cravings/Aversions:
definitely sweets. On Sunday, I whipped
up homemade chocolate chip cookies- Wes was wondering what happened to his
wife. Last night I made puppy chow- too
die for!
Symptoms: less
achy this week J
clearly as a result of picking Emma up less.
Movement: still
the best part of being pregnant so far J
What I am worrying
about: what to name our baby girl. The name I love gets made fun of a lot
when we tell people. I feel like people
are either really on board or really against it- I still love it, so we will
see what happens. I am also worrying
that I have no idea what to do with Emma’s big girl room. I can picture exactly what it will look when
she moves from a crib to a full bed, but I can’t even come up with what to put
on the walls. I think maybe the pink
crib is throwing me off :/.
What I am loving: my new maternity gear. Anyone that knows me knows that I hate to
spend money on maternity clothes. You
wear them for close to 9 months and then it’s over, never wear them again
(unless you get pregnant again which I am NOT planning on doing). Well, last time I was only big pregnant in the
winter. So I had 5 long sleeve shirts
and two short sleeve shirts- just enough to get by. Having a baby in the summer threw a wrench
into my “never going to have to buy maternity clothes again” mantra- I thought
I would be able to wear my old clothes again.
My mom and I went shopping this weekend (with our best shopping bud,
Emma), and I am happy to say that I got 5 new shirts (all short sleeve), a pair
of shorts and a dress for $120. There is
something about being able to wear a new top to work every day of the
week. I have seriously loved getting
dressed this week. I am sure this will
change, but for the moment I am loving it.
What I am looking
forward too: the weekend- we don’t have much planned, but we will get to
see Ally and possibly go to another baby sale J
Best Moment of the
week: lots of good moments this week, but the best was when I got home from
work one night and Emma greeted me with a big, wet, sloppy kiss. She is normally excited to see me, but she
has never kissed me when I got home unprompted like that.
