22 Weeks

We had a calm relaxing weekend which was a really nice change to what things have been like.  We had a lovely breakfast picnic with the family at a park in Golden by the river before Sue and her family left for the USA Pro Cycling Challenge.  Braelyn also has a new little friend that was born Saturday morning at 2:50am, welcome to the world Parker and Congrats Alex and Diana!

In Breck!

Baby is measuring at the size of a Papaya this week!  
"Baby's settling into sleep cycles, snoozing about 12 to 14 hours a day. It shouldn't be hard to figure out when -- just pay attention to those kicks as they start and stop."

How far along? 22 weeks and 8 days today.

Maternity clothes? As my tummy gets bigger I am noticing that the first things I bought aren't fitting as well and I used to be able to wear a few of my "flowy" tops but not anymore. 

Stretch marks? Still none yet, keep 'em crossed! 

Sleep? I seem to be getting into a toss/turn & potty break routine, hoping that will get me a more restful sleep.

Best moment this week? Finding Braelyn's bedding, FINALLY!   That has been the hardest part of decorating the nursery!

Food cravings: I have been eating lots of Popsicles.

Movement? I am now starting to feel more rolling and moving instead of just tapping and kicking, it has been very amazing, yet a little strange, to see my tummy moving with her.

What I miss? Being able to sit out in the heat/sun, it seems to just totally affect me like never before.

What I'm looking forward to: Week 24 - Viability!!

Milestones: Seeing baby move on the outside of my tummy!
