22 weeks!

At 11 inches 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.

How far along? 22 weeks

Baby’s Size: 11" in length and weighing in today at 1 lb. 2 oz.

Weight Gain: 6 lbs...though you would think ly seeing this rather large belly that i had gained 35

Maternity Clothes: that's all I can wear, but I actually kind of dig them! They are sooo comfy!!

Gender: Still a boy! Don't worry I asked my high risk today, apparently little boys "things" do not just fall off! So I am still good on all the clothes and decor!

Movement: I have only felt little man move once (I think), we were on the boat and he started kicking. I think he might not have loved the shaking and bumping up and down, Paul took it as he is a boat man, which is wonderful by me!

Sleep: Not great, I am pretty uncomfortable

Symptoms: Terrible acid reflux and heartburn! Doctor said it could definitely mean lots of hair, we shall see!

Best Moments this week: Feeling him kick on the boat, and getting to see his precious little self today at my dr's appt. He was jazz handing and kicking those little feet, he has very long fingers and toes! Dr. said he could not be more perfect if we tried!!!

Food Aversions: red sauce (spaghetti and pizza)

Food Cravings: Mexican and Thai, and Sour Patch Kids

What I miss: Sleep and pre-reflux days!

What I am Looking forward to: Meeting the little man is definitely making me impatient these days! Finishing the nursery would be very very exciting too (hint hint my dear husband)! Only 7 weeks until my first shower!!

Milestones: One more week closer! A kick on the boat, I take what I can get!
