22 Weeks: Happy New Year!

I can't believe that it's 2013. The year we'll get to meet our baby girl and become a family of three. This Saturday marks 4 months until my due date. While it seems like January, February, March and April will slowly roll on by, I think we'll be hitting D Day in the blink of an eye.

Sunday we hit 22 weeks. I enjoyed some much needed time off with Hubs, but getting back to work has been a struggle. I can't imagine how hard it'll be after taking off 12 weeks with our baby girl!

Last Thursday I had my monthly prenatal visit. I have to schedule my Glucose Screening for the 22nd. I hear some crazy things about the orange drink you have to consume before doing the test, so fingers crossed it goes smoothly and I don't need to do the 3 hour test...

Anyway, here's a bumpdate from Sunday. It's the same Steeler tee that I wore in my first post from when I was 17 weeks. It's amazing what 5 weeks does to your belly!


How far along?: 22 weeks
Weight gained?: 8 pounds as of last Thursday's appointment
Showing yet?: Yes, I am trying to decide if it's from the holidays or baby girl.... 
Clothes?: All maternity pants, still in some regular sweaters, though!
Cravings?: None, really...  
Adversions?: Nothing...
Sleep?:  Much better since my parents got me a Boppy body pillow!
Gender?:  GIRL!!!
Movement?: Yes! She's very active at night. The doctor kept finding and losing her heart rate last week because of how much she was moving around!
Symptoms?: Back pain, stuffy nose, and feeling like I'm already slowing down...
 
On another pregnancy note, I found this simulator that shows what happens to your organs once your uterus and baby grow. No wonder you get indigestion :)
