Baby got Bump!

22 weeks... 

and starting to get CHUBBY! 

So, I thought I was over the morning sickness, but I jumped to conclusions too soon. This last week has been a pretty bad week. I had to pull over on the side of the freeway on my way to work three times this week already because there was no way I was making it to the next exit. [Don't worry mom, I was totally safe about it!] Too graphic? Sorry. I'm still waiting for my pregnancy glow though!

I've just about outgrown my jeans and am on the quest for some thick maternity leggings for winter. 

We heard Baby's heartbeat earlier this week and Doctor says he sounds great! Lately Baby is kicking up a storm! He is very active at night after 9. I don't know how he sleeps all day with me at work and on my feet for hours, but he only starts to wake up on my commute home, then by the time I'm ready for bed he's ready for party! Lets hope this is not indicative of his sleep patterns after birth.

Jordan likes to poke my belly and play with him, so he'll kick back.  

Am I the only one who finds the movements to be weird? All the moms I know say, "Oh isn't it great when you feel Baby move?" I love it because I know he's doing well if he's moving around in there, but it feels so weird! Maybe just first pregnancy experience, but it feels really gassy and just awkward bubble movements like he's trying to escape! Wait till he's big enough that I can see him move my belly, wont that be a trip!

No stretch marks yet [hopefully never!], but I'm still pretty small. Although the nurse said I'm right on track for target weight gain. 13 pounds since I was first weighed at 8 weeks. My mom said, "Oh to be 155 again!" However, I'm still adjusting to the gain. It's mostly been up top, belly and thighs and like I said, I can still fit into most my regular clothes. That belt I'm wearing above is on it's last hole... 

I used to be able to fit 3 holes in on that one! Yikes. 

I'm curious to see how much bigger I'll get. Baby is supposed to start doubling in size over the following weeks. I just thought I'd look more pregnant by now.

 I hope I get a nice big baby bump though! 

Halfway there!

Finally feeling Baby kick!! 

 ****************************

*Started feeling Baby kick earlier last week, it feels very strange, like little 

bubbles of gas moving through me. Still really low, below my pant-line.

*I officially cannot sleep on my stomach anymore... 

*...and some insomnia and late nights are starting since 

Baby is most active after 9pm. 

*Does "Pregnancy Brain" really exist? Because I do sometimes 

feel like I forget little things, I am always losing place of my water at work! 

*People are still saying, "You're so small!" 

But I can't see my feet past my boobs and belly!!

*Craving healthy, crunchy, wheaty cereal all the time. 

And sandwhiches. Mmm. 

*My appetite is growing and so is the variety of food I'm willing to eat.
Had sausage on my pizza the other day at work, but if you catch me eating 

one of those meatballs-- STOP ME!

Doctor says Baby has a healthy heartbeat and plenty of movement. Sickness is mostly in the past. I do tire easily and work is tough being on my feet so much, but I'll be cutting back after the holidays. Couldn't feel more blessed!
