How far along: 22 weeks as of February 28, 2012. I'm catching up. Maybe I'll actually get next week's post up before the weekend.
Size of baby: Beansprout is 11 inches long, the length of a spaghetti squash, and he weighs just under a pound. Grow, baby, grow! His lips, eyelids, and eyebrows are becoming more distinct. He's also developing tooth buds beneath his gums. His eyes have formed, but his irises still lack pigment. I wonder what color his eyes will be??
Movement: He's still kicking in there! This week I have noticed that some of his stronger kicks actually cause my stomach to move. It's so cool. Mark even saw him one morning.
Sex of baby: It's a boy!
Sleep: Fine. I'm waking up more frequently, and I'm still always tired, but it's nowhere near the level of exhaustion I felt during the first trimester.
What I miss: Soft cheeses and turkey sandwiches.
Cravings: Still on a Mexican food kick. Hopefully Beansprout is developing an affinity for it, too.
Symptoms: Back pain, although it has gotten a bit better, fatigue.
What I'm looking forward to: I have a doctor's appointment coming up, and I'm looking forward to hearing that all is well that he's growing on track, and that there are no signs of early labor.
You look great! (and I love the dress!!)
ReplyDeleteDid Grandma tell you that she craved (and ate) Chinese food at least once a week when she was expecting me? I still love Chinese, so Beansprout will most likely have an affinity for Mexican.
Can't wait to see you in a few days!!!
