22 Weeks: Papaya

Yeah, I definitely look bigger compared to 20 weeks, no?
I think I'm going to need to break down and buy some maternity tops very soon.

How big is baby: Baby is the size of a papaya this week (10.5-11.8 in and 12.7-20.8 oz).        

Weight gain/loss:  Not sure from last week.  

Stretch marks: No.

Sleep:  Still major hip pain at night which means I'm changing sides constantly.  And I read somewhere this week that you should try and sleep mainly on your left side because there is some major blood supply for the baby or something.  Ok, I'm sure this is true.  But how would anyone expect someone to sleep on one side the entire night?  

Diet/Cravings/Aversions:  The usual. Fruit.  Pizza.  

Exercise:  Walking and YMCA.

Gender: We'll find out in October!  

Movement: More and more often throughout the day.  The movement is now much more noticeable too with some pretty big jabs.  I think baby likes the beach.  He/She was very active at Hoffmaster.  I can tell that some of the kicks are hard enough to feel from the outside, but Baby T decides moving is overrated when I even think about having Aaron try to feel it :)  Eventually, we'll get there!

The belly:  I'm guessing bigger.  Annoying comments from people at work:  "Wow, you're big!"  And, "Look at that fat, pregnant belly!"  The latter even came from a woman who has a child so you'd think she'd be more sympathetic.  A girl I work with told me to remember that some people seem to loose their manors when talking to pregnant people.  I know that these people didn't mean their comments in a bad way, I just think they could have chosen their words more carefully and rephrased their comments.  And I know that I look bigger, but I'm not by any means huge.  I guess I just need to get used to being overly sensitive :)

What I'm spazzing about:  Not too much this week.  Yay!

What I'm loving:  Being pretty much done with the registry.  Starting to look more pregnant (even if the general public has unfiltered comments).

Symptoms:  Sore hips at night.  A little light spotting earlier this week.  We had a very busy week/weekend so I'm assuming that was the cause.  I'm not too worried since it's gone and baby is still moving around.

What I'm looking forward to:  Girls' night tomorrow night :)  Ordering our crib and glider in the next few weeks.  And my next doctor's appointment next Thursday.        

Best moment of the week:  Vacation!  Registering :)
