22 week update


Along: 22 weeks

Size of baby: LBMH is the size of a papaya - 8 inches long and 1.2 pounds. In the next few weeks, he's supposed to double in size!

Total Weight Gain: 12 pounds

Maternity Clothes: Definitely. In fact, I really need a few more things for winter, but it seems so wasteful to go buy clothes for just a few more months.

Gender: It's a BOY! Reed Lewis Hill

Movement: LBMH is getting more and more active! He's especially squirmy mid-morning (when I'm trying to get work done) and late at night (when it's time to sleep). He already knows how to get my attention!

What I miss: Things are really good right now. I do miss buttons on pants and running, though.

Cravings: I had a weird craving for Snickers ice cream bars. I guess that's a pretty stereotypical craving. Fortunately, they make them in fun size - so hopefully that will keep the craving in check.

Symptoms: Heartburn is back with a vengence. Not cool.

Best moment of the week: A bunch of girls got together for a cookie swap at our friend Sarah's house. Sarah had everything decorated so cute and everyone brought delicious treats. It was just fun to spend time with friends, especially since our schedules are so crazy around the holidays.

Looking forward to: All of the fun of the holidays. The logistics are all falling into place, but I'm mostly looking forward to spending quality time with family and friends.
