Week 22 survey

How far along: 21 weeks + 4 days
Total weight gain/loss: Another kilogram since last week! I feel great, my pants fit "normally", but what the heck?!? Either baby and I are both having a serious growth spurt or my scale is messing with me. I think my face has gotten rounder again.
Maternity clothes: 1.5 more weeks to go with just normal clothes.
Stretch marks: Nope
Sleep: Can't really complain.
Best moment in the last week: Guenni felt baby move on Sunday! Also, I got to see a friend yesterday that I haven't seen in 2 years!
Movement: Getting stronger. He/She seems to have active and less active days.
Gender: Voting is even at the moment! Who's going to be the tie-breaker?
Food Cravings: Mixture of everything (totally normal for me though). Still lots of dairy.
Belly Button in or out: Still in, but see belly-button ring status below
What I miss: Not gaining 1 kilogram per week. ;)
What I am looking forward to: Vacation, vacation, vacation!!! Hopefully choosing wallpaper for baby's room on Saturday.
Weekly Wisdom: I'm not going to try to understand (or freak out about) my rapid weight gain and belly growth. As long as I feel good, I'm going with the flow.
Milestones: Daddy felt baby move for the very first time on Sunday!!!
Baby Brain Moment of the Week: While getting ready for bed, I was heating water to make a hot water bottle. Unfortunately, my water boiler doesn't automatically shut off and I forgot I had turned it on. After several minutes, I remembered and found my kitchen counter flooded.
Belly-button ring Status: Out of curiosity, I took out my belly-button ring tonight to check the status of my belly button. I was surprised that it had become so shallow - I can see the bottom now. Stupid thing - I dropped the little ball and can't find it! I guess that means it's staying out...
Labor Signs: Hopefully not until the end of May or so!
Weekly Belly Pic: 2 people have commented on my growing belly this week. I agree that it's undergone another growth spurt. See for yourself!


(January 27th - 21 weeks + 4 days
Getting bigger!

By the way, these pics were taken with my old camera and self-timer tonight. I thought they would end up worse. :)

  1. I think all of us who've been pregnant are DYING to know how you're still fitting into regular jeans!!!!!!!!!!! Do you have a belly band or what is your trick?

  2. Hey Andrea!
    NO TRICKS!!! I think since most of my jeans are low-rise, they just kind of sit underneath my belly still.

    I should probably mention that I lost some weight over the summer and that my current weight is just slightly higher than my highest-ever non-pregnancy weight. I think that's why the pants still fit normally in the butt and legs. ;)

    (Yes, I just figured out that I can comment on comments! Haha!)
