Birthday and Check-up!

So I have been a little MIA lately, just been very busy with work and thinking about baby stuff and I celebrated a birthday! We went down to the beach and had a low key weekend with some friends, just hung out on the island, my kind of weekend :) I texted Zach on my way down to the beach and told him I knew what I wanted for my bday, just a massage at the spa (which is just a walk from our place).  He called me like 10 minutes later telling me I had ruined the surprise and he had one booked for me already that next day! So sweet and I had a great time at the spa relaxing!

On another note, I have been losing my mind lately, literally. I mean the simplest things I forget to do or just seem plain dumb with some things that come out of my mouth. I thought the "pregnancy brain" thing was just stupid, but I am kind of starting to think it may be true...Anyone else have this problem??

Last question, what do you all think (honest opinions only) about pregnant ladies wearing a two piece bathing suit? I am not talking like 9 months pregnant, I am talking a small little bump...still having mixed feelings on this.
How Far Along? 22 Weeks! 18 to go!


Total Weight Gained? As of my doctors visit today, I am up to about 13lbs.  Yuck! I am gaining about a half pound a week and I hope that is how it will stay the rest of the pregnancy, 23-24 lbs sounds not too bad to me!

Maternity Clothes- A neighbor lent me a ton of her maternity clothes which I am soo grateful for! Also, I have been wearing a ton of dresses which still fit, just a little different ;)

Sleep-Booger gets active when I get sleepy, still only getting up once but tossing and turning alllll night!

Movement-Started to feel her often and everyday now and a lot of times if I sit still I can watch my stomach jump from her kicks.  It is the weirdest, most amazing feeling to have a human inside you kicking the crap out of you! Love it!

Food Craving-Fruit! Watermelon and honeydew mostly. Pickles. Also, cheesy snacks (try not to keep them around!) like cheddar rice cakes (yum!!)

Food Aversions-None :)

Morning Sickness- None :)


Gender- Little princess. She is going to be spoiled beyond belief!


Labor Signs- none, thank goodness.



Belly Button- It is a weird looking thing nowadays, sort of half in, half out...kind of gross actually


What I Miss- When I get up from a lying position it seems to be very difficult.  Walking up steps without getting out of breath. Good deep sleep (guess I will never get this again ;)



What I Am Looking Forward To-Still decorating nursery, I still have not started! Oh, and we are sooo close to agreeing on a name!


Weekly Wisdom- People will actually come and rub your belly, never thought that random people would actually do this but they do, bring it on, I dont mind it! Also, i am NOT having twins, nor do I even look like I am. Please watch what comes out of your mouth people.


Milestones- BooBoo is a whole pound this week! She is about 8 inches long. I am over halfway there to meeting my precious angel!

  1. AWE! You look so cute with your little bump! Prego brain is FOR REAL and sorry to tell you, lasts up til a year after birth. My husband has gotten used to me saying things like " put it in that place we park our cars" lol the simplest words just escape your mind! You will get deep sleep again =) 4 mos is when you dont need to get up in the night anymore. This was my first week of normal sleep. It has been WONDERFUL!!!! plus, even when you are getting up every 3 or 4 hrs, your so tired, you sleep very deep in between feedings. Ive heard of ppl going to the beach and digging a hole and laying on their stomach with their tummy in the hole so they could get a good sleep. =) so glad things are going so well for you!
