22 weeks

Gender: Boy!

How big is baby: Approx 11 inches and about 1 lb.

Total weight gain: 9 lbs

Maternity clothes: I have started wearing some maternity shirts, and some of my regular shirts still fit.  I wore a maternity dress for the first time on Sunday.

Belly button - in or out: It’s still in.  

Symptoms: Things have been going pretty well this week.  I haven’t felt too sick, and I haven’t thrown up any!

Movement: He is so active.  I can feel him moving throughout the day.  When I wake up during the night, I can sometimes feel him moving then too.

Food cravings: No big cravings this week.

Food aversions: I did have a little ice cream, but I stayed away from the milk.

Baby items purchased: I purchased an outfit and some socks that were on sale at Carter’s.  Brad bought an OU sippy cup at Academy.

Best moment this week: I think we’ve settled on a name.  We still haven't told anyone, just in case we change our minds.  When we’re at home, we’re calling the baby by the name we’ve selected.  When we’re talking to other people, I’m having to be really careful not to let the name slip!

What I am looking forward to: I’m looking forward to our childbirth class this Saturday!  After struggling for so long to get pregnant, it just seems unreal that we’re going to a childbirth class!  In four months (give or take a few days/weeks), our little one will be here!
