Week 22, Memorial Day!


Weeks along? 22

Baby’s Size? Papaya, 10.5 inches long, 12.7 oz.
Cravings? Watermelon! Wish we had a fresh farmer’s market around here.
Sleeping? Not sleeping through the night, usually just restless or I have to pee.
Maternity Clothes? Yes, and after five and a half months I have finally moved up to a size Medium scrubs!
Morning Sickness? Nope, occasionally nauseas but no more sickness… for now.
Stretch Marks? No, but still applying my wonderful cream TWICE daily!
Movement? She is moving! She moves a lot while I’m at home, I’m on my feet so much, I rock her to sleep and don’t feel her much during the day because of it.
Pains? The back pain is becoming unbearable at times. Had me in tears this morning and losing some sleep.
Iny or Outy? Iny, but not for long!
Mood? Happy, enjoying summertime finally!
 Anything you miss? Sleeping on my stomach and Dr. Peppers!
Most excited about? Deciding on a name! Clint and I have been talking and we have narrowed it down. Not sure if we will reveal or not.
Home Update: Still living in the apartment. We are in limbo and it’s driving me crazy not being able to begin decorating a nursery. Also, we are in such a small space, the dogs don’t have a yard or porch I can throw them out in the beautiful weather to get some cleaning done. The larger I get, the smaller everything else feels!

Cravings? Kool-Aid, the cherry flavor!
Sleeping? Sleeping ok, I wake up a lot, so I figure my body is preparing me for the baby!
Maternity Clothes? Yes, dresses and the “mom pants” as Clint calls them.
Morning Sickness? Seems to have sneaked back into my routine, the Dr. ok’d Unisom and B6 for the nausea.
Stretch Marks? No, but still applying my wonderful cream TWICE daily!
Movement? Oh yes! Baby Bowen is on the move and we can finally see and Clint can feel a lot of the movements.
Pains? Back pain still and swollen feet, booking a spa day for my birthday next month.
Iny or Outy? Iny
Mood for the most part? Happy, unless I’m hungry or tired, which happens more often than not.
 Anything you miss? I miss sleeping on my back and stomach, learning to get comfortable on either side has been a challenge.
Most excited about? Beginning to plan the nursery! IT’S A GIRL! Can’t wait for the girlie clothes and décor to start pouring in. And my Mom and sister came in to town for the Mother's Day weekend. Love seeing them both!
