22 Weeks

As I hit the five and a half month mark I feel more pregnant than any other week! The bump has finally decided to make it's appearance. While it was "there" before, I could put on pre-pregnancy clothes and still not "look pregnant". Well...now there's no real hiding it! I FINALLY ditched the regular shorts and am now sporting the super cool maternity stretchy shorts ;-) Hot stuff, let me tell you! Little Miss has also decided to make her presence known in a BIG way! She's a very active little one and I can now see her moving around when I lay down!

How Far Along: 22 Weeks

Size of Baby: She is 11in and almost a pound!!! (I can finally attribute some of the weight gain to the ACTUAL baby! ha!)

Total Weight Gain: 11lbs...and this section used to read "Total Weight Gain/Loss", let's be honest...there isn't any weight LOSS going on here...so i just took it off :-)

Maternity Clothes: Well it's about time, right?! I finally broke down and went shopping with my Mother-in-Law and The Hubster. I bought several maternity pieces! I now have shorts, shirts, dresses, and capri's! I also got some non-maternity dresses.

Gender: GIRL! :-)

Movement: ALL THE TIME! Well not ALL the time...but it's very frequent. She has somewhat of a "schedule" now! She's active usually after I eat in the morning, in the late afternoon, and always before bed!

What I Miss: I literally just thought of something to write here, but then forgot. So I'll go with easily remembering things! I forget things all of the time now! I'll go upstairs for something and then just stand there because I have no clue what I was going to get!

Cravings: Fruit..peaches in particular (lucky for me I'm in Georgia!), peanut butter on occasion and the newest is cinnamon. I'm eating Hot Tamales as I write this :-)

Symptoms: Round Ligament pain...I've had this almost my whole pregnancy but I don't think I've put it on here...that's about all lately!

Best Moment of the Week: There were lots of great moments...of course getting to see The Hubster! But I think that the moment that takes the cake is when he felt her really kick hard for the first time! He had been trying to feel her move ALL weekend but you know how it goes...baby moves, call hubby, he puts his hand on your tummy and the baby instantly stops moving. When he felt it he yelled, "Finally!" and was so excited! It was pretty cute :-)  He also got to see some of the movement while I was laying down! 

What I'm Looking Forward To: I know this isn't technically pregnancy related but I got some new ribbon and I can't wait to make more bows!!! I'm obsessed and don't have my bow making box with me while traveling so when the in-laws and I went to HobLob I broke down and got some fun ribbon!!! I'm also excited for 4th of July at the mountains in North Georgia AND getting to see The Hubster again next weekend!!!

Baby Bump!

 This is one of my all time favorite verses, not pregnancy related...it's just a great reminder to always speak kindly of others and watch what you say. Just remember that hateful words aren't just harmful to the person you're speaking them about but yourself as well. I think we can all be reminded of that from time to time. :-)
