Bumpdate: week 22!

I have been planning on starting these for a few weeks now but with not feeling 100% and then the holidays time slipped away. From now on I plan on doing a bumpdate once a week so that in 5 years I can remember each week of this pregnancy!

*Aubs just HAD to get in on the picture!

How far along: 22 weeks! Wooooohoooo over the halfway point!

Baby Size: According to thebump.com Baby Barrett is the size of the papaya. At our 20 week ultrasound he was weighing in at 15 oz. so I am pretty sure he is well over a pound by now. According to pregnant chicken, (seriously my favorite pregnancy email, Zach and I both get excited for this once a week email updating us on our sweet babe. She has our goofy sense of humor that we love!) baby E is the size of a Barbie Doll :) 

Weight gain: at my last appointment I had only gained 3 lbs from my pre-pregnancy weight but I have a feeling I've gained a few more lbs these past 2 weeks. 

Maternity clothes: Luckily I can still fit in all my non maternity clothes. I did go out and buy some maternity leggings and a belly band from target. Let me just tell you 2 things. 1. Maternity clothes cost an arm and leg (especially when you put in perspective you are only going to wear them for 6 months max!) 2. The maternity leggings from target are my new favorite pants and I may have wore them for 3 straight days! They are just that comfy!!

Stretch marks: Not yet, and I am working hard on trying to prevent these by applying stretch mark cream every time I get out of the shower.

Sleep:  Great! I love sleep, Z loves sleep, Baby Barrett must have inherited this trait because he never wakes me up (not even to go to the restroom in the middle of the night 

  Gender: Sweet Baby Boy! Barrett Upton. At our 20 week ultrasound he refused to turn and look at us but had no problem making sure we KNEW he was for sure a little boy ;)   Movement: Most evenings and some mornings B likes to kick. I love feeling it and love when Z gets to feel it as well.  Best moment this week: Going to a baby shower for my sweet niece Madelyn who will be here in March!   Looking forward to: Traveling to Tennessee on Thursday! I can't wait to see my niece and nephew and eat at all my favorite Lebanon restaurants!  

Food cravings: Los Compadres Mexican in Lebanon, no other Mexican will work for this craving, seriously, I tried a local Mexican restaurant here in Prattville this past Wednesday night since Z was out of town and it just made my Los Compadres craving that much more intense. 

  Anything making you queasy or sick: Thank goodness nothing this week!!   Labor Signs: No   What I miss: Having both a cup of coffee and a glass of tea in the same day. I'm lucky my doctor isn't that strict about caffeine but I am still trying to cut back, which is still soooo hard!    Symptoms: My belly has finally started looking like I could possibly be pregnant, still in the phase of "is she just chunky or is she pregnant" but I'll take it!

Nursery: Picked out a few paint color samples from Sherwin Williams yesterday and will hopefully make my decision this week!

 

Belly Button in or out? In 

Wedding rings on or off? On

Mood: Getting back to my normal self!

Workouts: 3 Zumba classes, yoga, and walks with my sweet Aubs!
