Baby Reeser Week 22

It's been a couple weeks since I shared my pregnancy tracking blog with you all, so thought I'd give it another shot.

But first - here is a screen shot of my "What To Expect" app on my phone.  I love it.  It has daily advice and weekly updates on your body and the baby.  But probably my favorite part is seeing how big the baby is - for instance, this week he's about the size of a papaya.  He started out at about a raspberry and has gone through just about the whole produce department.  awww....



 
total weight gain:  12 lbs.

maternity clothes:  love them - so comfy!  i know that's what i'm going to miss most after the baby comes.  but i'm not really loving the variety (or lack thereof) in the stores.  i hate going to target now and seeing all the cute non-maternity clothes they have and knowing there's no way any of it would fit me.  and then going to the two maternity racks they have with the same old plain t-shirts.  but i did recently discover that there's a Motherhood Maternity store close to me and they have cute stuff!!!  yay!

sleep:  love it!  still sleeping great.  hal gets up around 5am during the week, so when his alarm goes off I usually get up and go to the bathroom, but then it's back to sleep for at least another hour.  or hour and a half.  :)

stretch marks:  nope.  i did get some cocoa butter stretch mark lotion at the Motherhood Maternity store and have been using that every once in awhile.

best moment of the week:  well, it was technically last week, but  having our ultrasound and seeing our baby move around for a good half hour - watching his little heart pump away.  wish i could see that every day!

miss anything:  working out.  well, i go back and forth with this one because, really, who loves to work out.  but i've just been feeling huge and out of shape lately and would kind of love a good, sweaty hardcore workout.  guess i'll just have to stick to my walking and maybe a pregnancy workout video. 

movement:  haven't felt a ton of movement, but apparently he's moving around like crazy in there.  there's been a few times where i can distinctively feel a kick or a movement, but most of the time i can just feel the pressure of it.  the doctor said today that i have an anterior placenta, which is normal, and that's why i haven't felt a lot of the movement.

food craving:  again, nothing specific.  every day it's different, but nothing crazy.

anything making you sick/queasy:  feeling pretty good in this area.

have you started to show yet:  um, yes.  got a good little "bump" going on.  i've really felt in the last couple weeks my belly has grown a lot.  hard to imagine i have FOUR months to go!!!  yikes.  i'm going to be the size of a barn!

 
 
gender:  BOY!!! 
 
belly button in or out:  in.  but i think i can tell it's getting closer.  eek.
 
wedding rings on or off:  on.
 
happy or moody most of the time:  happy.  well, not like bouncing off the walls happy, but not necessarily moody.  just regular.

looking forward to:  a long weekend with no agenda.  i have today off and monday is a holiday so yay for nothing to do.  i'm so looking forward to it since we've been gone so much lately.  but i do have a lot of cleaning and organizing to do around the house - haven't done laundry in awhile.  plus i think i'll make a trip to Joann's and pick up some fabric for an easy burp cloth tutorial i found on pinterest.  we'll see.  it better be pretty easy for this novice.  and i will probably head over to babies-r-us and maybe start a registry there, or just see what they have.

  2. Yay for a weekend with nothing to do!! :) Try Old Navy for some maternity clothes... I had pretty good luck there and Gap. Mostly online though :( Can't believe you are this far along already. In no time this little man is gonna be here... so excited!! Also, I am very impressed that you are making burp cloths! :) Hope you have a wonderfully relaxing weekend, but like Jill, I am gonna miss you this weekend!

  3. Awww LOVE the update! :-) You look so cute with your bump! :) Have fun shopping around and registering for things. Also, I can't wait to see how your burp rags turned out and the fabric you chose! Aww. Happy times! Ps. I'm TOTALLY jealous of your sleep schedule!!! I am up EVERY two hours to the bathroom. I think it's God's way of training me for baby arrival because I'm NOT a morning person and NOT a person who functions well in the middle of the night. This is good prep for me. :)

    1. Lisa, I'm so not a morning person either, so at least you're getting the training now. I know I'm going to have a rude awakening come June!!
