Each Monday, I'd like to do a  highlights post , including a picture, summarizing the differences in my pregnancy from week to week.  I totally "grabbed" this idea from  Kelly .  I've done this with my three previous pregnancies (you can go to the search box and type in "pregnancy," or "week #" if you're interested in how my previous pregnancies progressed), as well, and I still think it is a great way to jot down the things that I don't want to forget later on.   Pregnancy Highlights: How far along :  22 weeks  Size of baby:   This little one is about 11 inches long (head to toe) and about the size of a spaghetti squash.  Total weight gain/loss :  I'm up 10 pounds total as of my appointment.  Maternity clothes:   spaghetti strap shirts, loose skirts or summery dresses, and cute/comfy shorts Gender:   boy :) 💙 Movement :  I feel lots of little kicks ...

Each Sunday, I'd like to do a  highlights post , including a picture, summarizing the differences in my pregnancy from week to week.  I totally "grabbed" this idea from  Kelly .  I did this with my pregnancies with Hadley and with Jack, as well, and I still think it is a great way to jot down the things that I don't want to forget later on.  Pregnancy Highlights: How far along :  22 weeks Size of baby:   Baby Girl is 8 inches long (crown to rump), 11 inches crown to feet--the size of a spaghetti squash.

Sleep :  Sleeping has been ok; there have actually been a few nights where I haven't had to get up to go to the bathroom, but t...

Each Sunday, I'd like to do a  highlights post , including a picture, summarizing the differences in my pregnancy from week to week.  I totally "grabbed" this idea from  Kelly .  I did this with my pregnancy with Hadley, as well, and I still think it is a great way to jot down the things that I don't want to forget later on.  I'll probably write these on Saturday nights and attach the picture the next day.  That way I can stay semi-technology free :) Pregnancy Highlights: How far along :  22 weeks Size of baby:   Baby Boy is 8 inches long (crown to rump), 11 inches crown to feet--the size of a spaghetti squash. Total weight gain/loss : As of my last appointment a little over a week ago, I'm 7 pounds over my pre-pregnancy weight. Maternity clothes:   Maternity jeans and shirts, regular dresses and shirts, comfy cotton shorts Gender:   A very bouncy baby boy Movement :  Have I mentioned that he's re...

Pregnancy Highlights: How far along :  22 weeks and 1 day today Size of baby:   The Little One is 8 inches long, weighs about 1 pound, and is the size of a spaghetti squash. Total weight gain/loss : I suppose I spoke too soon about not being hungry.  I've been eating and eating this week.  The meals (or snacks) are small, but I eat pretty often.  We don't own a scale, and since I haven't visited the gym (it was just a visit...no exercising) since Monday, I don't know how accurate my weight gain is.  But as of last Monday night, I have gained *about* 10 pounds so far.  Maternity clothes:    I'm still able to wear a couple of my pre-pregnancy dresses, several shirts, and one pair of jeans.  I've been integrating in several maternity shirts and shorts into my wardrobe, as well.  The shirt I'm wearin...
