22 Week Bumpdate

img_107022 Week Bumpdate

 

size of the baby: coconut – about 10.9 inches

 

total weight gain: about 10 pounds

 

gender: BOY! BOY! BOY! We got his stocking in the mail this week and I just can’t wait to see all 4 of our stockings hanging together on the mantel.

 

clothes: I living in preggo leggings, my pink blush maternity jeans, tees and cardigans. Seriously, the best mom uniform.

 

movement: He is constantly on the move! I feel like his kicks are a lot stronger than Brooke’s were, maybe I’m just more sensitive this time, but dang, that boy can kick.

 

sleep: I haven’t slept as good this week. I have been having lots of dreams and waking up a lot.

 

missing: not too much this week.

 

craving: blooming onion still… donuts.. coffee

 

symptoms: We found out at the doctor last week that my tailbone pain is actually sciatica pain so I have been adjusting how i’m sitting at work and stretching to help with the pain. Also, Kevin is helping massage it and we have a referral to a specialist if its gets too bad. Overall, normal pregnancy discomfort this week.

 

kevin is: celebrating his birthday week this week! I am pumped for his birthday even if he doesn’t like to celebrate!

 

looking forward to: Kev’s birthday, putting our Christmas decorations up and getting in the Christmas spirit.

 

best moments: getting to see our family for thanksgiving! Ps. Ignore the no make up.. I was lazy

    You look great! I’m sorry you didn’t sleep well. Hopefully this week is better. Happy Birthday to your husband! I always loved feeling my kids moving. It’s a neat experience.

    I heard the second time around you feel movements much stronger and earlier on. I think it has to do with your muscles or something and I think just being more used to everything and knowing more about what baby movements feel like. I didn’t feel any movements until about 2 days before I was 23 weeks pregnant but then again, I might have been feeling movements before that and just kept 2nd guessing myself as a first time mom.

  • #ad Making a snack board can be intimidating, but using great products is key!

I love using @Bluediamond Nut-Thins® 💙 because they’re gluten free and I love the crisp texture. Plus, they are sturdy and perfect for topping/dipping on any snack board.

And, @montchevre Garlic & Herb Goat Cheese 🧀 has such a great flavor and is made with the highest quality goat’s milk sourced locally in the Midwest. 

Finally, @mikeshothoney gives you the perfect mix of sweet and heat! 🍯It’s great to drizzle on any foods on your board. 

Grab these and your other favorites at @walmart to make a delicious charcuterie board! 🚨 From 07/18/25 to 08/20/25 – Buy one (1) Montchevre® Goat Cheese & get one (1) Blue Diamond® Nut-Thins® free at Walmart. #mikeshothoney
  • #SnackFactoryPartner You’re gonna want to try these! 💙The @snackfactory Pop’ums are perfect for movie nights. 

They have a golden pretzel outside with a light and crispy inside. They are so good, we just can’t get enough!. You can find them in the salty snack aisle at @Target!
