22 Weeks Pregnant

How far along: 22 weeks pregnant! Due September 27th!

Total weight gain: Up 11 lbs.

Maternity clothes: Some. Pregnancy makes me realize just how many different fits I have in my pants. Some jeans need a hair-tie, and some i’ve given up on entirely;) But you see that dress right there- its basically going to be worn out by time this pregnancy is over because it is amazinggggg. I also had to do a photo differently this week because I messed something up on my camera.

Stretch marks: Nothing happening yet:) But I am using a combo of old and new tricks to keep them away. The Mama Mio oil I have used with the past two pregnancies has kept me almost completely stretch mark free, so i’m sticking with it. But I am also adding in a drop of Gentle Baby and Frankincense Young Living essential oils.

Sleep: Most days taking a 20 minute nap. And sleep at night has been amazing- especially since I got myself a Snoogle

Best moment of this week: Celebrating Bray’s ‘graduation’ from his first year of Preschool. He did so amazingly in his performance and it was the cutest! I should have got him a little graduation t-shirt from somewhere like Mato & Hash or seen if they offered them at his school, so we could get it customized with his name and date on it, would have made a cute piece of memorabilia.

Miss anything: Beer

Movement: Every day now- and it is SUCH a blessing. She seriously moves around all the time, and I can’t get enough of it!

Food cravings: Frosted freaking flakes. I don’t know when I will get sick of it, but the craving is still strong.

Anything making you queasy or sick: nada!

Have you started to show yet: Without a doubt!

Gender: A sweet precious baby GIRL!

Labor signs: Definitely having Braxton Hicks, but nothing to worry about as of yet.

Belly button in or out: Its out, almost allll the way!

Wedding rings on or off: On!

Happy or moody most of the time: Happy but emotional this week.

Looking forward to: A 3 day weekend, even though Jeremy works.
