Our Little Blessing at 22 weeks!

How far along? 22 Weeks

Baby's size and stats? She weighs almost a pound by now!

Gain? I have gained a total of 10 pounds! I can totally feel that I have!

Maternity clothes? I wear all maternity bottoms, and will proabably start to wear some of my maternity tops soon.

Stretch marks? None

Sleep? Sleep is great. I still get up to use the bathroom quite a bit, and I keep waking up on my back. I try to prop a pillow behind me so I don't roll over.

Foods I am loving? Foods with flavor and my newest craving...Chocolate!!!!

Foods I am hating? Plain chicken, fried foods.

Best moment this week? When a lady at church came up to me and asked me if I am going to have a baby. I almost screamed out "Yes" but I said it in a normal tone. :) I have been looking forward to the point in my pregnancy when people can tell I am pregnant. This is something that I would dream of when we were going through infertility. Some days I still cannot believe that I am pregnant.

Movement? I felt her move for the first time on October 23rd (almost 21 weeks)!!! I was sitting in my car just ready to get out, and I feel tons of little popping sensations. I just sat there and tears started streaming down my face. My precious little girl was kicking, she is real, I actually am pregnant!! She has been kicking mostly everyday since. I treasure each and every time I can feel her.

Symptoms? Eat, Eat and Eat. I am like a starved pig when it comes to food.

Gender? A beautiful baby GIRL!!

What I'm looking forward to? When I can see her moving from the outside of my stomach, and mostly the day when my hubby can feel her kicks too. He has tried, but I think they are not quite strong enough yet.

Milestones: Lots of kicking. I have been waiting for the kicks for so long!

Now for some pics! My hubby was not home so I had to take them myself! This is the first time that the pictures are not taken in the usual spot. I want most of them to be in the same spot, I think that it helps when you compare them later on. Hopefully next week they will be back at the original spot!! When I look at these I can see that I have been growing!!

This is my first bare belly shot!!

I hope you are all having a great start to November 1st!
