Watch what you say -- baby is now able to hear outside noise from down in the womb. Studies show that baby finds gentle music and your own voice most soothing. Nipples are starting to sprout, and that little face is fully formed. And, baby's starting to settle 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.
Due Date: August 13, 2010
Total weight gain/loss: -2... up 3 from last week. I'm not going to try to lose any weight, that would be silly... but if I could be 30weeks before I hit +5 that would be pretty cool.
Maternity clothes? Yes. Almost always.
Sleep: Really not too bad. I just sleep on a pile of pillows when I feel like I must sleep on my back.

Best moment this week: Seeing baby again... :) Little Miss Wiggles
Movement: It is so cool... I can actually feel her now - sometimes it is like she is doing tumbles. :) (and I know from my ultrasound that she does!)

Food cravings: Most recent: Fresh foods - the weather is getting to me. My dinner Thursday and my lunch today is fresh mozzarella, sliced tomatoes and fresh basil on italian bread w/ a little olive oil (dinner was open faced and melted in the oven, lunch is a sandwich melted in the microwave) mmmmm
Food aversions: Things that are creamy and warm or smell gross (to me)
Gender: GIRL!! A healthy wiggly(!) girl
Labor Signs: None and thank goodness.
Belly Button in or out? In... Geoff says it is starting to be less of an in-y
What I miss: Subway!!!
What I am looking forward to: Going to another Mom-2-Mom sale... and KNOWING my baby's gender so I can get stuff. :)
Milestones: Feeling the baby move more and finding out the reason I haven't been feeling her much is because my placenta is attached in the front - where most of my nerves are - so the moving is blocked... but now she's getting stronger and I can feel more. :)

Your dinner sounds very yummy and healthy! I'm proud of you for taking care of yourself and Baby- your weight is fantastic!
ReplyDeleteHave fun shopping for lots of pink clothes :)
I need to come eat fresh dinners with you. That sounds yummy. (Speaking of dinner, we should meet--when I'm done being sick).
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you're feeling her move more. And it's very exciting to be able to use gender-specific pronoun for her!
