timeline of the bump.

how far along?  22 weeks!  the baby is the size of a papaya!  she is about 1lb. and can taste and touch!

weight gain:  14 lbs. + {2 weeks until our next check up}.

maternity clothes?  not yet.  just longer shirts, leggings, and dresses!  i need to get a move on to find some new work pants {so super lazy about that}.  i’m about dunzo with the current work pants!  i’m surprised i made it past 5 but the 6 month mark will be absurd.

sleep:  meh.  some days are good, some days are bad.  it’s not even me getting up to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night, i just sometimes wake up and have a hard time falling asleep.  my belly hasn’t bothered me yet in making me uncomfortable in any sleeping position but i just pop awake for no reason!

physical state: feeling good!  best time yet.  it’s been a breeze during this second trimester.  i still go to bed early, or at least try to…sometimes there’s just so much to do!

miss anything?  a hot dog and a beer.

baby movement:  the kicks have gotten much more prominent in strength!  she has a tendency to completely stop when hc puts his hand on my belly {much to his dismay}!  she was kicking around when he did read her a bedtime story, ‘i’ll love you forever’, a gift from jane!

food cravings:  hot dogs, beer, seafood.  i still crave salads and fruits.  i still love, love spicy food but baby girl tosses around when i do eat that stuff!

bump status:  bump feels bigger!  i feel bigger!  the belly button is driving me crazy.  it’s a half innie and half outie!  what?!  make up your mind!

gender reveal:  it’s a girl!!!!!!!  yay!  we waited this long to tell everyone because we threw a gender reveal party!  i can’t wait to post it for y’all!  it was so much fun!
