Pregnant & Halfway

Waiting for the ultrasound to start!

Look, there's the baby! Brenna, "I can't really see it very good!"

I kinda look dead here, haha!

Blurry, 22 weeks

*PREGNANCY STATS*

STAGE: 2nd Trimester - 22 weeks
BABY SIZE: A papaya ~ Almost a foot long, weighs about a pound
WEIGHT GAINED: 10 pounds
FITNESS: None currently! Temperature outside is in the single-digits so that's going to have to wait.
DISCOMFORTS: Stuffy nose, heartburn (boo!)
CRAVINGS: Chocolate, water galore and occasional milk
FASHION: I washed half of my old maternity clothes and bought a handful of things. It was time for some comfy sweaters. :)
TO-DO'S: Figure out what we need for this new baby. Start shopping for furniture.


EXTRAS: Joe has felt her move quite a bit now! She is wiggly and up at night. I can see my stomach moving at times, too. Brenna asks me often, "Your tummy getting bigger?" And I say, "Yep, the baby is growing every day!" She wasn't interested in feeling the baby move the other night. We still haven't picked an official name. I think we'll wait till she's born. Most likely a "B" name, but that'll confuse my grandma even more, ha ha. 

At our last ultrasound, I'm measuring a week further (so 23 weeks) but for now they are keeping my same due date, May 7th. I also had the stomach flu/food poisoning twice, the week of Christmas and had lost six pounds. Within a few days I was right back up there! I'm getting nervous that I'll gain more than I want to. 

So far this pregnancy has been enjoyable! I'm still in the "I feel good, not too uncomfortable" stage. I don't think it'll last much longer bc I am having a little big of a hard time holding Brenna, having her sit on my lap to read, and bending over. 

*Four more months!*
