22 weeks! Still surreal. I know I sound like a record but every day, every week is surreal. We have just under 2 weeks until we know what we're having & I seriously can't wait. It's funny because I always said I'd never find out what I was having, I wanted a delivery surprise! No way, no how was I finding out! When we first found out we were pregnant Mike told me he wanted to find out and I told him I didn't. He never pushed me, just indicated he wanted to know what we were having & that was enough. Obviously I wanted to know too because I agreed we would. I guess Mike didn't realize because he was telling co-workers we're not finding out the sex. Um, yes we are! I want to know so badly. Now I'm getting slack from other delivery day surprisers & have even felt somewhat attacked for my decision to find out. "There are so few surprises nowadays & delivery surprises make that day so special. You shouldn't find out". There will never be any bigger surprise than the one I got on January 7th! Ok, finding out the sex will also be extremely huge!!! Guess what, So Will Delivery Day! No Day & I mean NO DAY will be more special than the day we deliver our son or daughter! Ok, enough blabbing. To the important stuff! Baby!!!
Baby should be measuring 11.5 inches & weigh A POUND! Ticker says "Busy with baby workouts & playing somersaults". Oh so true. This little one is more & more active. The "I'm going to keep you awake", the "I'm going to jump on your bladder even though you just went", the "I'm going to stretch out & push against your muscle so you flinch in pain". It's so odd & so amazing. The other day I felt the baby moving so I put my hand under my pants & underwear, on my bare belly. Mike saw & asked if I was Al Bundee. I told him "no, baby is moving & I'm trying to feel it on the outside". He seemed surprised & happy. I think yesterday I finally for sure felt a kick/movement on the outside. Once you can regularly feel it on the outside I'll have Mike feel for them. :)
So, the fun stuff of pregnancy! Insomnia is back & I hate it. All week I've tossed & turned all freaking night long. I usually get 2-3 hours of good sleep, then get crappy sleep for a 3-4, & finally get back to good around 3-4 am. Well, it makes getting up at 5 for Curves hard! Also by the end of the week I'm fully exhausted by 9-10 am. Then again, I woke up at 4 am yesterday. It's not 3:30 & I've been wide awake since 2. Apparently my husband having trouble sleeping is enough to take me from tossing & turning sleep to WIDE AWAKE! Ugh! Next fun! My sore boobs are gone so I guess they're done growing for now. :) Oh heartburn. Glorious heartburn. It is almost instant with any spicy food. Spicy chicken sandwich, oh yes, spicy chips, oh yes, spicy anything! How funny that it took 21 weeks to start having issues with spicy food. Get use to it baby, mommy loves spicy! :) Mommy! :) So weird!
Well this is a long ramble-fest & yes it's mostly because I am wide awake at 3 am. I send out 2 Wishes!
Happy 22 weeks Baby! Nearly 5 months! &
Happy 30th Birthday Michael! My Baby Daddy!!!
