22 Week Update

That's 5 and a half months! Wowee!

I haven't updated in a while but that's mainly because there isn't whole lot going on. Movement is really the main thing, but no one else has felt any of her movements yet. I do drink a ton of water so if the fluid level is really high that might be a contributing factor. As she gets bigger and has less room in there it will get much easier to feel and see movement from the outside.

She weighs over a pound now! She's about the size of a Papaya. She's able to hear sounds from the outside now which is pretty cool. Sometimes when I'm listening to music I put one ear bud in my ear and one in my bellybutton so she can listen. Yesterday Phil had his head on my lap with the back of his head against my belly and we were just watching a movie but he would talk once in a while and she would literally kick right where his head was. Of course he couldn't feel it but I like to think she could hear his voice.

I have my next prenatal appointment next week, but other than that things are pretty uneventful. Got a bad headache last night but was able to sleep it off without taking anything. I've been having a lot of ligament stretching pain, mostly during the night when I have to be on my side. I feel like she's done a lot of growing in the last week and my belly is trying to keep up with it.

I'm off to the grocery store to stock up on fruits and veggies after a long weekend of eating not so good. 22 week belly shot to come!
