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!
