I just realized I haven't blogged an update since my last ultrasound!!
How far along: 22 weeks 3 days
Size of baby: Size of a papaya and weighs at least 1 pound by now!
Maternity Clothes: I bought one new shirt at Target, which already has a stain on it! I bought some items from JC Penny online too so I can't wait to see how that fits!
Gender: Baby Girl!
Movement: I'm still not able to definitely say that I'm feeling movement. I should be feeling her by now but I'm not.
What I miss: My energy! I am still so very tired.
Cravings: Mostly carbs like potatoes, cheese fries, pasta, cheddar gold fish and still sweets!
Symptoms: I'm still very tired all of the time but I haven't been having too much trouble with headaches. I am still very moody and my ankles swell up at the drop of a hat. The abdominal pain is gone (Yay!) and now I'm dealing with an aching back.
I am counting down the weeks until I can meet my little baby girl! We are getting so excited! Daddy calls her by name and talks to her every chance he gets. We are still keeping the name to ourselves. I have had a few people ask me but I'm not telling! I actually saw someone else had a really cute idea and I might copy it, if my husband lets me.
Of course I can't find the picture to share when I need it so I found one that is close. It was just like this except it had both parents hands holding the letter blocks. I would love to do this and show it at the baby shower! Or even if we just did this for our own wall, it would be so cute!
As far as symptoms go, I'm still pretty tired all the time, my ankles swell like crazy and my back is killing me! The aching pain in my lower abdomen/pelvic area has pretty much gone away. The heartburn is still pretty bad as well. Still can't eat meat. Still just ham and hamburger for the most part and I'm still trying to stay away from them.
I have been trying to eat more salads since Little Miss eats what I eat now. My husband is hounding me about eating healthier so I am trying to cut back on the sweets and eat more salads.
An update on the house hunt: We are still waiting to find out if we got the house we put the offer in on. It has been two weeks now. We are getting very anxious! We went to an auction last night for another house that would have been PERFECT for us but it went over our budget so that was a no-go. We just want an answer! We are running out of time!
It was definitely not fun having 4 dogs in our house last week. I am so glad my parents are home! Cheyenne is a very good dog but she is very restless so it was difficult. She behaved very well, though. Of course my Mom and Grandmother got me some cute baby things from Tennessee. My Mom got me a shirt that says "I love my Mommy and Daddy but my Grandma and Grandpa are the best!" And my grandmother got us this giant stuffed turtle that is just soooo cute!
I found a few places in the area that will do the 3d/4d ultrasounds but they won't do them until 26 weeks. I didn't want to wait that long but I guess I have to. I don't know if I will even do one now since my next ultrasound will be around 28 weeks so I might just wait for that one.
Next update in a week and I'm sure I'll post a few random blogs until then!
