22 weeks!


  1. How far along?: 22 weeks.
  2. How big is baby?: At 11 inches (the length of a spaghetti squash) and almost 1 pound, your baby is starting to look like a miniature newborn. His lips, eyelids, and eyebrows are becoming more distinct, and he's even developing tiny tooth buds beneath his gums. His eyes have formed, but his irises (the colored part of the eye) still lack pigment. If you could see inside your womb, you'd be able to spot the fine hair (lanugo) that covers his body and the deep wrinkles on his skin, which he'll sport until he adds a padding of fat to fill them in. Inside his belly, his pancreas — essential for the production of some important hormones — is developing steadily. (Taken from baby center)
  3. Weight gain?: -7 lbs.
  4. Stretch marks?: None yet. 
  5. Maternity clothes?: I'm wearing my maternity pants, although they are too big (pre-pregnancy jeans aren't working anymore) and maternity shirts. My belly is getting bigger! :)
  6. Best moment last week?:  She is really starting to move.
  7. Food cravings?: Chinese food sounds really good!
  8. Symptoms?:  I am feeling pretty good, other then some back pain
  9. Exercise?: Not really exercise but stretches for my tailbone/sciatic pain.
  10. Gender?: Baby Girl!! 
  11. Movement?: Yes, I'm feeling her most days.  
  12. Belly button?: Still in.
  13. What I miss?: Nothing this week.
  14. Labor signs?: Better not have these yet.
  15. What I'm looking forward to?: Meeting a friend for coffee on Friday.  :)
