22 Week Bump Date

(Sorry this is up late, I had typed it but apparently it never got posted and was saved as a draft!!)

How far along? 22 weeks 6 days

Total weight gain: I have gained a total of 10 lbs. so far (I wasn't back to my pre-pregnancy weight after Isabella so it feels like the weight it gaining fast) 

Maternity clothes? Yoga pants, maternity everything. My pre-pregnancy clothes is starting to not fit such as shirt. I stopped fitting into pants a long time ago. My maternity tops are also getting a little to snug, so I might have to get a new wardrobe soon. 

Stretch marks? I have found one on my right hip, and a few on my left thigh, and of course the usual ones from before. I have been rubbing Cocoa Butter on each night. 

Sleep: I have been falling asleep pretty fast. I do find myself waking up around 1 and then and 3 but immediately go back to sleep. I do wake up every now and then to use the restroom, but I have been finding myself not wanting to wake up and hold it till I get up at 5:30am! (I know, NOT GOOD!)

Best moment this week: Going to the doctors this weeks and seeing Caleb on the sonogram moving and kicking around! It brought tears to my eyes. 

Miss Anything? Not really! 

Movement: Tons and tons of movement 

Food cravings: Dairy Queen strawberry sundae, Watermelon, Pineapple, Hash browns. 

Anything making you queasy or sick: Nausea is gone for now!! (At least I hope it's gone for good) 

Gender: IT'S A BOY!!

Labor Signs:  No labor signs for a long while

Symptoms: I have started to feel my feet starting to swell as well as still having my round ligament pain. My back is starting to hurt when I sleep and walk to much as well as my feel starting to swell if I walk for too long. I have started to feel my left leg starting to cramp up when I stretch to roll over but it hasn't been too bad yet. 
 Belly Button in or out?  It's officially an outtie. I can't see it through my clothes yet, but I think we are getting there. 

 Engagement Ring on or off?  It's still on!

Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy!! It's getting closer to Caleb arriving and we are so excited to meet our little guy. 

Looking forward to:

Hoping to be making some crafts and doing some more sewing soon. Ryan and I plan on sewing some more blankets, pillows, burp cloths, and other items. We just need to go out and buy the fabric and patterns to get started. I'm also looking forward to clothes and other baby items for Caleb. I'm also looking forward to Ryan putting up his crib and taking Caleb's dresser to his moms as well. 

Thoughts: 

It's so crazy to look at my bump pictures and see how fast my tummy is growing. These months are flying by really fast, and in just a few short months he will be here in our arms. I'm so nervous and happy at the same time. You know my biggest fear, and I always address it with the doctor but she has reassured me that I will be getting seen once a week by her and then the high risk doctor. That helps with some of my fear, but I just hope and pray her arrives safely in our arms. 

What a difference!!

21 Week Bump Date

How far along? 21 weeks 6 days

Total weight gain: I haven't weighed myself recently but if I had to guess, I would say I gained a total of 10 lbs. so far. 

Maternity clothes? Still rocking my yoga pants and maternity tights! I need to get a fall wardrobe soon but as of right now my pre-pregnancy and maternity tops will do just fine. :)

Stretch marks? Just the same ones as before. Cocoa butter has been my best friend these past few weeks.  

Sleep: It takes me a while to fall asleep. Once I'm out I find myself tossing and turning at times but other than that I sleep pretty well. I get up in the middle of the night every now and then. I have noticed that some night I ignore my urge to wake up and use the restroom and wait till like 4 or 5am. Not good, I know!! 

Best moment this week: Feeling Caleb kick and move around every time he heres his daddy's voice. When Ryan holds my tummy and talks to Caleb, it seriously has to be the best feeling ever and it just melts my heart. 

Miss Anything? Not really!

Symptoms: I have been getting some leg cramps every now and then, but they haven't been that bad so far. I am still getting round ligament pains as well.

 Engagement Ring on or off?  It's still on!

Thoughts: 

I am so excited and nervous. 21 weeks has come and gone too fast. I am enjoying each and every moment I have with this little blessing in my tummy. My tummy growing is a reminder of our blessing and how Isabella is looking down on us. He truly means the world to us and I'm cherishing every moment I have with him. I can't wait to hold him for the first time and hear that cry when he takes his first breath of air.

Sleep: It takes me a few minutes to fall asleep. Once I have fallen asleep, I sleep pretty well. I do get up in the middle of the night to use the ladies room and then fall right back to sleep.

Thoughts: 

This past 20 weeks have been so great. I am so excited to be carrying this sweet little baby boy and I'm looking forward to many more doctors appointments. I get so nervous at any ache and pain but who wouldn't after everything we have been through. I just pray that this pregnancy continues going smooth and that we will be able to meet our sweet baby boy when it's time to deliver. I am so scared of the worst, but I can't help myself after loosing Isabella and having a healthy pregnancy. I just have trust in the doctors and continue to ask as many questions when it's time for an appointment.
