22 Weeks

How far along? 22 weeks (June 15, 2014 - Father's Day)

Baby size: Eggplant, 1 to 1.3 lb, 11 - 12 in (crown to heel)

Total weight gain/loss: Have not weighed since last appointment when I was 9 pounds above prepregnancy weight.  I am sure it is more because I am showing for sure. 
Maternity clothes? YES!  I can still get away with dresses, skirts, and shirts that are not maternity, but my shorts/capris that I enjoy wearing are maternity.  I found some other maternity capris and shorts at Kohl's this past weekend that are very comfortable, and I had a 20% off coupon.
Stretch marks? Nope.
Sleep: I have slept like a baby this past week.  Probably because it was during my first week of teaching summer school.  I have not been able to sleep much past 5:30 or 6am, but last Friday morning I slept in until 8am!!  Mon-Thurs of summer school must have wiped me out : )
Best moment this week:  We had several great moments this week.  Friday, Daniel and I went to pick up baby girl's crib.  We found it on Craigslist with the help of my friend Monica.  Monica is due a week before me, and she had found a beautiful crib to buy on Craigslist and shared the pictures with me.  Turns out that when she went to pick up the crib for her baby girl, she learned that the family had twin girls so there was another crib for sale.  We are thrilled to have that taken care of so we can start thinking about getting the nursery together.  Daniel and I also attempted to begin registering Friday at BuyBuy Baby and Babies R Us.  Before we went in, we had already decided that we were just setting up the registry and "looking" because I knew I would be overwhelmed.  We made a nice LONG list of things we knew we needed while in there so we can research at home what brands we prefer.  On the plus side, we learned that both stores are very competitive and match each others' prices, Amazon's prices, and they both take Bed Bath and Beyond coupons.  You know how I love my coupons : )  Sunday was also a special day - Father's Day!!  We were able to spend time with both of our fathers and grandfathers. 
Miss Anything? The desire to exercise...
Movement: YES!!  She still kicks the most when I am laying still on my back or side towards the end of the day.  At the end of Father's Day, right before we fell asleep, baby girl decided to kick hard enough for her daddy to feel her for the first time.  He was so excited because I had wrote him a card that morning that said she was going to try to kick for him on Father's Day.  I think she is already a daddy's girl ;) 
Food cravings: I have eaten awful this weekend.  French fries, chili dogs (without the hotdog), pizza, Momom's huge Sunday lunch, hot fudge sundaes, etc.  I have got to get back into a healthy routine this week.  It is crazy how you can go from wanting NOTHING for dinner to wanting to eat something off of everyone's entree at the dinner table when you go out to eat.   
Anything making you queasy or sick: Tomatoes and tomato sauces, onions, mayo, ranch dressing. 
Have you started to show yet: Yep!
Gender: It's a Girl!!
Symptoms: Hungry TOO much of the time.  My belly has hit a growth spurt in the last two weeks.  I am dreading seeing how much I weigh at my next appointment on July 3rd.
Belly Button in or out? In
Wedding rings on or off? On
Looking forward to: THE BEACH!!!  We are going to the beach with Daniel's family this coming Saturday for a week, and I cannot wait.  I am way past my normal dose of beach time for the summer!  I normally have already been for a week the first week in June, but was not able to because of summer school, so I am beyond ready to go : )
