22 Weeks

Baby girl is soo incredibly active now! It's amazing what a difference just two weeks makes. Chase can feel her little kicks, and it melts my heart. He loves talking to her and telling her to kick his hands. I feel good, no cravings and plenty of energy.  Besides the occasional kicks from baby, I often feel like I did before I got pregnant. I hope it stays that way for as long as possible!  

Baby bump is growing! 22 weeks and 4 days :)

Week 22

Due Date: November 6, 2011

How Big is Baby: Peanut is the size of a papaya! 

 

 

Morning Sickness/Symptoms: No morning sickness thank god that part is in the past! Not many symptoms either, and thanks to being able to stay in the gym I'm up about 3 pounds from my pre-preg weight!

Cravings: None really, eating all the things I used to. I tend to eat a lot of Kale with tomato sauce (YUM) and I love olives and capers.

Sleep: Sleeping well, sometimes I notice I'm a little less comfortable because of my belly but in general sleep is good.

I Can't Live Without: The gym-I NEED to be able to decompress after a day at work.

I Miss: Sushi, my clothes fitting the way they used to.

I am Looking Forward to: Sleeping on my tummy.

Milestones: Her eyes and lips are more developed, and she is sleeping in cycles like a newborn!

Awkward Moments: Nada!

Exercise: Running and walking for an hour a day-I try to do about 4 1/2 miles or so, and dance class!

Movement: Kicks and punches, baby girl loves her dance parties!

Gender: A tiny little woman :)

20 weeks-Anatomy Scan!

We had our anatomy scan on Monday. I was nervous (of course), and wanted to make sure that everything was looking good.  Little girl was moving all over the place! The most difficult part of the scan was the fact that I had to have a full bladder-I literally thought that I was going to pee my pants!

19 weeks-My birthday!!

We are going to Utah this week to visit Chase's family, and it's my birthday on Friday!

18 weeks-Lots of kicks!

I am amazed that we are almost to the halfway mark, it seems like everything has just gone by so fast! Our little lady has been very VERY active, she kicks more and more every day, and the kicks are getting stronger! I can't wait for Chase to be able to feel them from the outside.  We are still working on names, but nothing has been set.  Here is a 18 week bump update!

Still not much there-but my pants are definitely tighter!

16 weeks-It's a.......

GIRL!!!!!!!!!!!! And a beautiful, perfect little princess at that! She was blowing kisses on the ultrasound, and very shy.  It took doctor Martinez a long time to get her to show off the goods (glad that we have a patient doc), but after about 5 minutes, she got a good shot and said "Looks like a little girl!" Chase and I both got teary eyed-knowing that we were having a little lady made everything feel so much more real! Now we have to start working on names!

15 weeks-Movement?

I think that I felt baby kicking today-feels like little butterflies in my stomach! So excited for next week, we get to find out if baby is a boy or a girl! I can't wait!

14 weeks

We are officially out of the first trimester and into the second! I can't believe it-and I couldn't be happier because I am feeling SO MUCH better! I am back in the gym and dance class, and can eat actual food without wanting to throw up 24/7! I even took my first "baby bump" picture, although there isn't much there yet. Please excuse my facial expression, it was early and I was tired! I need to get Chase to start taking pictures of the belly at home.
