20 weeks.
21 Weeks.
22 Weeks.
How far along? 22 weeks
Baby Size: 11" long, and 1 lb...about the size of a spaghetti squash.
Total weight gain/loss: 19# and counting. :(
Maternity clothes? OH YEAH! My 22 week picture dress was pre-pregnancy. :) It's SO hot all I want to wear are dresses and baggy blowzy clothes...need to invest in some maternity dresses soon.
Stretch marks? Nope.
Sleep: Depends on the day. We've been so busy recently that I pass out at night and don't think I even roll over. Nora has been waking up in the middle of the night, or way early in the mornings...so on those days, I obviously don't sleep well. Also, I've been trying to tackle a long to-do list of things during nap time recently, so I haven't napped much myself. I'm in a constant state of exhaustion.
Best moment this week: Chaz came home earlier than normal one day, and I got the opportunity to run in the park without the stroller! It was awesome. I was sweating like crazy and I'm sure people were concerned for the pregnant lady huffing it up the hill but I needed that endorphine rush. Was WAY better than the home workouts in the office or running in the park with a heavy stroller.
Worst moment this week: A few things...I've had (what I think) is a sinus infection for over a week now. And two mornings in a row, I had horrible nose bleeds. I can barely breath at night and there is really nothing I can take. AND...for the past few weeks I've been having a horrible varicose vein in my ankle - so bad this week that I talked to the doctor about it and they are referring me to a vein surgery specialists. Go for ultrasound and appointment in two weeks to have that looked at. Prayers it's nothing major. And if I need to wear an ulgy compression sock, hopefully that will relieve my pain.

Miss Anything? Winter. Haha...it's SO hot. I'm always sweating. And I miss my long hair - there are so many days I want to just throw my hair into a ponytail and go and instead I feel like I look like a hot mess with it short. And recently, I've been craving a REALLY cold beer. I smell Chaz's beer every time he opens one.
Movement: Every night around 9pm he gets crazy.
Food cravings: Greek yogurt...with anything: peanut butter, granola, fruit, chocolate chips. And really cold fruit - pineapple, cherries, watermelon. Oh, and crystal light.
Anything making you queasy or sick: No, not really, thankfully!
Food aversions: Nope. I want it all. I'm constantly hungry!!
Have you started to show yet: Yes!! I feel HUGE even though I probably don't look it to the rest of the world. We went to the pool over Memorial Day weekend and I said I was pregnant to this random girl I was talking to and she goes "no way?!"...that was an ego boost because I was NOT feeling confident in my maternity one piece swimsuit.
Gender: BOY!!!!!!! No names yet, but we have a few we are playing around with.
Labor Signs: Nope.
Belly Button in or out? Unfortunately, it's starting to be an outtie. Nora loves to pull my shirt up and press on my belly button...apparently it's hilarious to her.

Wedding rings on or off? On.
Mood? Tired. But I've been less emotional that I was the past few weeks! I need a weekend of relaxing to help catch up on sleep.
Looking forward to: Shopping for brother. I've received a few boy clothes from mom and friends, but I haven't done any shopping myself. Excited to go spoil him a little bit.
