22 Weeks

How far along? 22 weeks (we just did not get around to taking a picture this week... life happened too fast)

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 11 pounds above prepregnancy weight. 
Maternity clothes? YES!  I live mostly in gym pants ;)  But when going out I wear my maternity pants or dresses with leggings to church (panty hose are not comfortable... even maternity ones).
Stretch marks? Nope.  Still rubbing cream on my belly after baths/showers... and so does Emersyn haha!!  She will say, "My belly's growing, I need some cream."
Sleep: I have been able to stay up later than my previous 7:30-8pm bedtime.  I'm dosing off around 9:30 most nights.  I sleep really good unless something wakes me, then it is very hard to go back to sleep.  Dreams have been VERY crazy and "off the wall" lately, so they sometimes keep me up too.
Best moment this week:  Daniel was able to feel baby boy kick for the first time Saturday night while I was relaxing in bed :)  That is usually when he likes to kick the most.  Daniel and I were also able to have a date night this past Wednesday.  Date nights are few and far between, so something I always look forward to these days!!  I also finally completed my taxes and turned them in this past Tuesday.  Big check off the list :)
Miss Anything? Energy still...
Movement: Yes!!  I can feel him the most when I am laying down.  He is probably kicking throughout the day, but it is just easier to notice when I am still.  Daniel was able to feel him for the first time this week :)  Emersyn has been trying to feel him, but she's not quite patient enough.  She will put her hand on my belly for 5 seconds and say, "Nope, he's not kicking right now."  She does like to give him kisses and say "I love you" to him.
Food cravings: It's weird, but I have craved lots of foreign food with the pregnancy.  Early on it was Italian (pizza/pasta/spaghetti).  Then I got on a Mexican kick but haven't been back to a Mexican restaurant since I got sick all night around 19 weeks from eating Mexican.  Now, I've been craving fried rice haha!!  For our date night I wanted to go to a Japanese place. 
Anything making you queasy or sick: I've had a really good week food wise!!  I know to stay away from "country greasy cooking" or at least only have very small portions. 
Have you started to show yet: Yep!
Gender: It's a BOY!!
Symptoms: My calves feel super heavy and throb a bit when I lay down at night.  I still have nights that I feel super bloated.  It feels like if someone stuck a straight pin in my stomach I would pop like a balloon.  Tire easily.  I'm still trying to exercise but have totally eliminated any jumping jacks, jump rope, or anything similar because well... baby sits on my bladder!!
Belly Button in or out? In
Wedding rings on or off? On, but some days I have a red ring around my finger.  I never had this with Emersyn, so swelling with baby boy may be worse.
Looking forward to: Warm weather!!  I am hoping to take some time during Emersyn's naps next week to get a little sun on my legs :)   Looking at the forecast for next weekend has given me beach fever!!
