22 Weeks


BABY P is one whole pound and the length of a banana! Getting so big!

She loves to move very first thing and late at night. Lots of stretching happening on my right side, which makes sense as placenta is laying on my left side. Keeping track of kicks is hard because she is often still and then all of a sudden active. We are averaging between 30-35 kicks a day though so that is lots of movement!

Had to get some bloodwork done this month to test for bloodsugar levels and hormones. Everything looks good, so now we have to wait for the glucose test for gestational diabetes! Anyone who has ever had a baby knows the "awful" orange drink you have to drink and then sit and wait for them to take your blood! Can't wait (insert eyeroll here)

I have officially had my first "weird" but common pregnancy craving..... PICKLES! Usually I am only a fan of my mom's pickles, but when the craving strikes it doesn't matter where they come from. I definitely didn't crave anything like this with Hayden, so it is interesting to see how different these pregnancies have been. Still have the weird taste thing happening but have just learned to live with it at this point.

My doctor's appt this month went well! I am measuring exactly where I should be, and baby's heartbeat was strong again at 154bpm. This was my last dr appt with my family doctor before baby arrives. From now on I will be meeting with OB's who will deliver Baby P when the time comes.

Other than that I am still feeling good. Not a whole lot of new things happening! Excited for Mom and Dad to come visit so we can get nursery prep started! Mom is going to make Baby P's bedding again, so we will have to do some shopping. Can't wait! Also can't wait for our babymoon to Las Vegas! Lots of things to look forward to in the coming weeks!
