Watch what you say -- baby is now able to hear outside noise from down in the womb. Studies show that baby finds gentle music and your own voice most soothing. Nipples are starting to sprout, and that little face is fully formed. And, baby's starting to settle into sleep cycles, snoozing about 12 to 14 hours a day. It shouldn't be hard to figure out when -- just pay attention to those kicks as they start and stop.
How Far Along: 22 weeks and 6 days
Total weight gain: Still lacking 2 lbs from where I started 14 weeks ago.
Maternity clothes: I bought a few new shirts this week because I'm bored with the ones I have. I got them at Sears and J.C. Penney, but after those two stores, I was tired of trying stuff on, mostly because it was like 8,000 degrees in the store.
Sleep: I'm able to sleep in on my days off, but I haven't been sleeping very soundly during the night. Hopefully that will get better.
Best Moment this week: People telling me that I actually look pregnant.
Movement: She's been pretty active this week. Especially when we were watching So You Think You Can Dance and the music made her really move. Thomas is still too inpatient to try and feel her though!
Gender: Sweet baby girl!
Labor signs: None and I hope not to see any for a long time!
Belly button: Innie
Cravings: I really wanted spaghetti the other day and I must say, my sauce was insane! Very yummo. On an odd note, I ate a salad the other day with grape tomatoes and now I keep tasting them, even when I eat actual grapes and it's not that appetizing. Blah.
Nausea: It's gotten a lot better, thank goodness. I still have a small vomit session when I brush my teeth, but it's usually over quickly instead of lasting about 5 minutes, therefore making me run late for work.
What I miss: Loving every minute of my life!
Stretch Marks: Yeah, definitely there and not going anywhere. Yuck.
Weekly wisdom: Three and a half more weeks until the beach!
What I am looking forward to this week: Giving my friend Meghan a baby shower at my mom's house.
