22 Weeks - Papaya



This week I threw in a "lifestyle" photo so you can see me a little bit more candid, rather than the usual pose! Enjoy!
How far along: 22 weeks
Total weight gain/loss: 10 lbs.
Baby Size: Papaya, 10.94", 15.17 oz. 
The Bump: Woah! It's growing like crazy! I swear, every time I look in the mirror, it's bigger!
Maternity clothes: Continuing to wear the tanks and now that it's warmer, maxi dresses! 
Stretch marks: Nope
How's sleep: Oh boy, it's starting to be a problem! There were about 3 nights that I spent tossing and turning from side to side. Since it's not advised to sleep on your back while pregnant, and sleeping on the belly just doesn't really work anymore, all that's left are the sides. It starts out comfy and then I wake up with back ache...SO I've tried the pillow in the back and front (under the belly) and it works GREAT! *knock on wood* so ever since I've been using the pillows, I can finally sleep through the night again! Hopefully it will work for the remaining months! Gah!
Miss anything: Being able to sleep on my back or belly!!! Otherwise, nah, not really.
Baby movement: Yes! Love it!
Food cravings: No, not really. 
Anything making you queasy or sick? Nope!
Gender? Girl!
Belly button in or out? In but it's definitely getting more shallow!
Wedding rings on or off? On
Happy or moody most ofe the time? Happy!!! Especially since the sun has been out!
Labor signs? Nope, however, I did experience what I'm pretty sure was Braxton Hicks. Kind of weird, uncomfortable and strange feeling. It went away once I sat down and relaxed for a minute though.
Best moment this week? Figuring out a comfortable way to sleep! and of course feeling movement!
Looking forward to: More movement and baby girl being born in 4 months!!!
