Week 22

Hurrah! I only have 18 weeks left! I am feeling better this week and thank God for that! Though I did notice that when I was sick, I didn't hurt at all..... hmmm well, like I said to myself the other day, the pain is worth the result!!!!!! Even though exercise is causing me pain, knowing that I am not gaining as much weight as fast this time and knowing how much easier it will be to get back into shape. SO, I will keep exercising until I can't. 

What I love: I LOVE not having to shave every day. It's wonderful. I love feeling this little baby roll around. It's getting quite strong.....

What I hate: WINTER! :) Oh well, at least the spring will be twice as sweet as I know I'll have a wonderful little babe. 

What I miss:  My old clothes. I am already tired of all my fat clothes and most of the maternity clothes I have look stupid on me still. 

 What I’m looking forward to the most: Not being pregnant. :) Oh and the baby. SAME

Worries: I am not worried this week. Well, I have to admit I had a G&T on the weekend and then I was really worried for a little while. I drank it over like two to three hours and it had lots of ice, but I probably won't do that again. 

Symptoms: Round ligament pain!!!!! And SO much of it! I hate it! 

Mood:  Good, happy to be on the downward slope even though the last trimester is infinitely the worst! 

Sleep: YES! I can sleep again. Wonderfully!

Movement: Lots of it and the baby seems to be finding the quarters rather cramped because it keeps stretching out.

Bra Size: B cup still, but I think I am getting bigger..... 

The belly (and the button!): It's all strange, but no stretch marks on the belly only on my hips. 

Wedding rings on or off: On! This is a minor miracle as I think I had my ring off before the end of the first trimester last time. 

Weight gain:16 lbs as of Monday. Hurrah!

Measurements: Chest: 38, Waist: 32.5, Midsection: 36! Hips:40.5, Thighs:21.5, Calves: 14, Biceps: 10.5

Exercise: Well, last week I ran 1.5 miles on Sunday and lifted weights and that was it. :) This week I have been doing pretty well and I got back to the gym and not my butt hurts! But so far I have run twice, lifted once and hopefully I'll finish this week strong. 

Eating: Back on track, and charting my calories once more. I have been doing pretty good and feel better. 

The weekly pics: 

So this week, little baby is the length of a summer squash. Hurrah! It's getting bigger!
