Bumpdate: {22 Weeks}

Two things:

1) I do apologize that every bloomin' post this week has pertained to pregnancy. I can only imagine how exciting it must be to read about my eating habits and swollen ankles.

2) Since I already took a pic for Monday's belated 21 Week post,, I thought it was a little useless to take another. {Please trust that in four days time, I look positively no different.} So, I'll just share another pic from a more front-on angle from that same bathroom photo session at my office.

Here’s what’s happening in Week 22:

Weight Loss/Gain?  I don’t go to the OB until tomorrow, but I think I’ve gained another half pound or so this week. My guess? Five (ish) pounds total so far. 

Cravings:  Steak, baby! Also, mashed potatoes – yum! I’ve also been eating my weight in fruit and delicious Arkansas tomatoes with a pinch of salt and cracked pepper. Oh, they are so good.

Favorite Moment this Week: Finding a home for our spare bed in the second guest room, which is becoming Caroline’s nursery. Why is this exciting? Because a crib is taking its place : )

Funniest Moment this Week:  Stephen always gives me a big hug and kiss when he comes in the door from work, since I usually get home before him. Yesterday, when we went in to kiss, my tummy got in the way and we had to sort of shift angles, ha!

Sleeping: This week has been a little rough, but Unisom (yes, as recommended by our doc) helped me catch some sleep last night and I feel less Zombie-like today.   

Clothes: Regular clothes, even pants! I was able to just size up in the waist for my Forever 21 skinnies that I love, (at two for $22), and they worked pretty well. I do plan to invest in some maternity shorts later in the pregnancy, though.

Most looking forward to: Being able to actually get in the lake and float weightlessly – ahhhhh. The water is a bit too cold for my liking right now, but with these 90 degree temps, it won’t be long before it’ll be perfect for swimming.
