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.

  • #BISSELLPartner I really thought my floors were clean… until I turned this on 😳

The headlights showed EVERYTHING—dust, crumbs, all the stuff you don’t normally see—and honestly, I don’t have time to go over the same spot again and again, so this is a lifesaver.

Lately, I’ve been using the BISSELL PowerClean DualBrush™ and what I love most is that it handles real-life messes in ONE PASS.

From breakfast crumbs on hardwood to dirt in the entryway to debris in rugs, it just moves right through it. The dual brush rolls grab both big and small messes, and the AutoAdapt technology automatically boosts suction when it hits dirtier areas, so you’re not doing extra work.

& The FurFinder™ Upholstery Tool targets stubborn, pet hair and removes it so well! 

✨COMMENT “shop” for the link ✨ It’s also $100 off right now ($359.99 → $259.99) from 4/5–5/30! Do yourself a favor, add this to your cart!
