How far along? 22 Weeks 3 Days
Total weight gain/loss: +26.5 <– Not quite sure how I lost half a pound. Although, this time I did weigh myself in the morning.
Maternity clothes? Yes. Although Cam just informed me that we probably won't be buying any more because eventually even maternity clothes won't fit and I will just slob around all day in sweats. Doesn't sound too bad right now, actually. :)
Best moment this week: Cam shaved his beard!! It was a huge day at the Call house. I have been kissing him like crazy. Everyone is happy.
Movement: The boys are big and strong enough to push up against the sides of my belly now. I love being able to feel their little bodies.
Waist Diameter: too lazy to find the tape measure. Big enough though. :)
Food cravings: Anything and everything. Although food is quickly falling from grace because no matter what I eat, I get reflux. ouch.
Labor Signs: Nope. Keep cookin' boys!
Belly Button in or out? In. But in is a relative term. It hasn't popped yet, but it is streeeetttched.
What I miss: The frequent doctors' appointments at our fertility specialist's office. Man, we were spoiled! This having to go a month between appointments and months between ultrasounds is really lame. Hopefully, we'll get an ultrasound at our appointment next week.
What I am looking forward to: Christmas Break!! My last day of work is one week from today. AND Cam got some sweet time off for the holiday and our anniversary. Merry Christmas!!
Milestones: Tonight when I sneezed, I peed a little. I've heard of this symptom, but had managed to avoid it until this week. It was oddly embarrassing and I didn't really know what to do. lol. There's nothing like relinquishing control over your body. It's a power struggle I don't stand a chance in.
Realization of the week: Eventually these babies will grow up and be teenagers, then adults. And it is our responsibility to raise them in righteousness. How do you raise righteous boys in the world we live in? We're starting with the nursery. The theme of which is "I'll go where you want me to go."
Also, Baby B has a thing for Mariah Carey. I hadn't felt him kick all day and Cam tuned the radio to the Christmas station while we drove up to Salt Lake. A few songs went by and then as soon as Mariah sang her first note, Baby B went wild. He kicked and kicked until the song was over and I didn't feel him again for the rest of the night. lol.
I had painful crappy reflux when pregnant with Trey but the moment I stopped eating dairy (and the only dairy I was eating in the first place was cheese on sandwiches and milk with my cereal) it stopped. Even though I can't usually go a day without cheese, it was worth it.
ReplyDeleteHow fun! Isn't it great how their little personalities start developing! Noah loved music too! He still does!
ReplyDeletei share the affinity with Baby B. that song is a must-rock-out-to-in-my-car holiday hit.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe you are getting so close! 22 weeks! You look super cute!
ReplyDeleteDid you know that acid reflux means that your boys are going to have a beautiful head of hair? The hormone that gives you acid reflux is the one that grows their hair.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your little boys! Boys are wonderful!!
[...] I was pregnant with the boys, I posted about how they love Mariah. Today, “All I want for Christmas is you” was stuck in my head. I caught myself singing [...]
