Week Twenty-Two!

How Far Along?
22 weeks, 3 days! A little late this time sorry!

 

Weight Gain?

Next doctors appointment is the 7th!

 

Stretch Marks?:

None to report yet. I know this seems really shallow but I really really hope I can avoid these. Apparently my mom got a few but not on her actual belly so I really hope I can avoid the stomach area at least.

 

How big is Little Ninja S?

NInja's the size of a papaya. Jeeze Louise.

 

Maternity Clothes?

No, I've actually been thinking about breaking down and buying a belly band so that I can go back to wearing my normal jeans since I still feel like my bump is too small to wear the full panel jeans I have stashed in my closet.

  

Best moment this week?

I'm pretty sure Ninja kicked me hard enough to move my tshirt last night laying in bed so that was pretty cool.

Miss Anything?

I'm actually doing really well with the things I "can't" have, besides the beer.

Food cravings? 

I still would love to devour a cookie cake every day but I don't thank goodness. I was craving Chipotle so Amanda helped me with that today :)

Movement?

He seems to be getting stronger.  I don't feel him very consistently throughout the day but periodically while I'm sitting at my desk.  Most of his movement is at night though and it makes me super happy Adam gets to feel him a lot.  Amanda got to feel him for the first time tonight too! 

 

Belly Button in or out?

And here's my sad story.  The belly button ring has officially been taken out.  It may sound stupid but I've had this silly thing in since I was sixteen, literally the same one they pierced it with, I've never changed it, so to not have it all of a sudden feels strange.  My belly button is also starting to look like a sad face. :-\

Anything make you queasy or sick? 

I actually got kind of nauseous randomly sitting at my desk the other morning, not a fan.  I actually contemplated pulling out my nausea pills I still have because it was so bad.

 

Looking forward to?

Getting registered for some goodies tomorrow! Hopefully I don't get completely overwhelmed!

 

Sleep?

Besides the getting up once a night I sleep really well.  I haven't had to use the body pillow that Adam's cousin gave me yet but I'm sure I will appreciate it soon!

 

Gender Prediction:

No more predicting we have a BOY!!!! 

 

Symptoms:

I actually had to talk my dad out of fleeing me to the hospital the other day because I was having such a horrific pain right under my ribs. Adam was working late so it was just Daddy and I at the house and I was in the kitchen heating up some food for dinner and it started out feeling like an air bubble, so seeing as I get those all the time I just shrugged it off.  But it wouldn't seem to go away so after sitting down to eat and then trying to stand up I couldn't it literally felt like I was ripping something right under my sternum on the right, it was so bad I started crying.  So we called the doctor and he said it sounded like it might be my gallbladder so he told me to drink a bunch of liquid and let him know if it happened again.  It hasn't thank goodness, so lets hope it was just a freak thing that won't repeat itself.

 

 

Happy/Moody:

Anxious is more like it I think.  I've been having super strange dreams and they all somehow involve delivering early (one was at 22 weeks and the other was 30 weeks), not being prepared with ANYTHING, and not having a clue what to name the poor little boy.  Lovely.
