22 Weeks

OK, so I'm starting to get a wee bit uncomfortable.

How far along?
22 Weeks

Total Weight Gain: 1 lb (+10) since pre-pregnancy. Not bad for 22 weeks and my 3-times-a-week french fry habit.

Maternity Clothes? Just bought a bunch of maternity pants/skirts. Definitely here to stay. On the clothing note, having a hell of a time figuring out what to wear to my sister's bachelorette party this weekend!

Stretch Marks? Nope. Body butter application to 3 times a day.

Sleep? Starting to get that dreaded preggo insomnia I've been reading about. Of course, having the puppy around isn't helping.

Best Moment This Week: Getting told that I look great by some co-workers. Never hurts to stroke a pregnant woman's ego.

Movement: Strong and consistent. I'm feeling kicks and not just flutters now.

Food Cravings: Pancakes. Pickled Radishes (if you have a lead on where I can buy these in bulk, I will be forever indebted to you!). French Fries. Frozen Yogurt. CARBS.

Gender: It's a BOY!!!

Labor Signs: Nope

Belly Button - In or Out? In

What I miss: Raw sushi. I would give anything for a slab of ahi right now. And wine. Not alcohol, but the taste of real wine, not the alcohol-free stuff. I don't forsee either of these changing in the next 5 months, but I've had a couple sips of wine to feed the craving. Being the only sober person at a bachelorette party this weekend is REALLY going to suck.

What I am looking forward to: Putting together the nursery.

Weekly Wisdom: Maternity yoga is god-sent.

Milestones: Looking totally pregnant now.

Of course, work is KILLING me right now. Only So busy I haven't had time to do anything other than work, go home, keep the puppy from chewing up everything we own, and sleeping. I haven't even been knitting. SAD!

So you're keep the puppy? I think that's good - maybe Katy will be less jealous of the baby if she's got a puppy!
