Bumpdate: 22 Weeks

how far along: 22 weeks, 1 day

estimated due date: august 16, 2014

size of baby: baby "a" is the size of a spaghetti squash

some of little man's new wardrobe

sleep: i'm giving up on sleep. i've officially come to terms with the fact that for the next 18 weeks or so, i'll be uncomfortable and after that, i'll be up with a baby. byebye sleep, it was nice knowing you.

total weight gain: 8 lbs

symptoms: i've got some pretty intense hip and back pain and my feet are officially swelling after limited time on my feet. it's not so much fun, but husband has been a champ and has been rubbing my feet and running me warm baths to help with the hip and back pain.

movement: every once in a while, i think i feel the babe, but nothing consistent yet. at the last doctor's appointment, my ultrasound showed that my placenta is up front, and is most likely blocking any baby kicks that i would be feeling. hopefully the little guy get's stronger and starts kicking away! i can't wait till their more consistent.

maternity clothes: full on maternity clothes. loving them.

go to eats: fruit always sounds good. i also have a pretty intense sweet tooth that i'm trying to curb and my latest obsessions are thai food and burgers.

best moment of the week: we went baby shopping! little man is starting to get quite the wardrobe, and he's well on his way to being the best dressed in the family.

gender: bouncing baby BOY!

what i wish people knew: everything hurts. a lot. 

what i'm looking forward to: little man only wanted to show the ultra sound tech that he is in fact a little boy, so we're headed back for another ultra sound in about a week so they can finish the anatomy scan and get more photos. i can't wait to see him on the screen again!

milestones: little man is developing his senses including forming taste buds and his sense of touch. he also weighs almost one whole pound!
