22 Weeks

How far along?  22 Weeks 

• Total weight gain:  7 lbs - It's the official weight gain according to the doc!

• Maternity clothes?  Just tops, but can still wear a lot of my regular tops, too...I just don't want to ruin them. I can still fit into my pre-preg skinny jeans - Hell yea!

• Stretch marks? none yet

• Sleep:  Pretty good this week

• Best moment this week:  seeing the wainscotting in the nursery - I almost cried! It looks SOOOO nice!! I am thisclose to having it done in our upstairs hallway, stairs and foyer. It totally transformed the room and it's not even painted yet!

• Miss Anything? Not really

• Movement: Lots of kicks!

• Food cravings: None.

• Food aversions: Nothing at this point. I can drink coffee again. THANK GOD

• Gender: Girl:)

• Labor Signs: I've had some BH's contractions, but only a couple here and there.

• Symptoms: Back pain. The midwife said to make sure I'm using my legs when I workout (I do a lot of lunges/squats with weights) She said I'm probably over-using these muscles and that back pain is almost always worse with a second pregnancy.

• Belly Button in or out? Out.

• Wedding rings on or off? On.

• Looking forward to:  Seeing my dad and sister this weekend!! Getting the nursery furniture purchased (it's currently on sale, or else I would've preferred to wait...the nursery isn't painted yet, so we're going to have to work around furniture now. boooo
