Not much to report this week. I've just been hanging around, reading, swimming, researching baby products, and handling some online errands for Rob/UGA. I am filling out our baby registry (at buybuybaby.com, if anyone is interested. You can even use Bed, Bath, and Beyond coupons in the Buy Buy Baby stores- awesome, right?!) and trying not to get overwhelmed with all the stuff you need for a new baby! Luckily, I have great mommy friends who have been offering advice. My friend Allie is currently home with her first baby, so I have been harassing her to no end! I hope she knows I really really appreciate her help, advice, and insight!
Also, I realized I didn't post a picture of the cake Candice made for our gender reveal party, so here it is! It says, "10 little fingers, 10 little toes: Boy or Girl, No one knows."
How far along? 22 weeks
Total weight gain/loss: 130. Three pounds less than last week, but since I had "gained" 10 lbs between 20 and 21 weeks, and had eaten right before I weighed myself last week, this probably is fine. So, long story short- 7+ lbs all together.
Maternity clothes? Wearing normal human size dresses and some shirts, shorts and pants exclusively maternity now.
Measurements: The measuring tape is MIA. If I find it I will update.
Stretch marks? Nope.
Sleep: I sleep fine. Getting comfortable is a whole other story.
Movement: Lots of movement! Baby boy seems to move around most mid afternoon and between 8-10 at night. I even saw a bit of movement from the outside yesterday- cool AND creepy!
Miss Anything? I already miss American food (variety and deliciousness), especially pizza and fresh fruit
Food cravings: Nah.
Anything making you queasy or sick: Nope.
Have you started to show yet: Yep.
Gender: Boy! Hopefully we'll have his name picked out soon!

What is Baby doing? Baby boy can now hear outside the womb, and allegedly likes the sound of my voice. His face is also fully formed by this time and he is settling into a regular sleep cycle. He seems to wake up any time I lay down!
Best moment this week: Reading a baby book about cloth diapers... very interesting how they have changed (thanks for the book Abby!). Also, any time I get to see Rob since I am still not home yet!Movement: Lots of movement! Baby boy seems to move around most mid afternoon and between 8-10 at night.

Labor Signs: Nope.
Belly Button in or out? Still in. It's fighting the good fight and not giving up!
Wedding rings on or off? On.
Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy. Feeling him move and knowing it's a him is pretty amazing.
Looking forward to: Same as last week- for Rob to get better and being together again!
