How far along? 22 weeks
Maternity clothes: Mix of both regular and maternity. Most of my shirts are getting a wee bit short...so I have to get creative!
Stretch marks: Fingers crossed...my belly is in the clear still.
Sleep: Late! We had friends in town so it was a busy, fun week of seeing them and getting to bed later than usual.
Best moment this week: Seeing our friends who came to town. Reading to baby boy and watching him kick in response to his daddy's voice. Talking about names with our friends.
Miss Anything: Some of the foods that I can't have right now, and a cold summer time adult beverage!
Movement: So much so. He moves things off of my stomach when he kicks. His schedule is pretty set in there, so I know when to stop everything in life and just have a conversation with him while he kicks the heck out of me.
Symptoms: Swelling from the heat...and speaking of heat, it's a huge change to try to deal with it when you have a heater in front (but then again, it was 106 this week!)
Food cravings: Fruits and veggies; steak; corn salsa; milkshakes
Anything making you queasy or sick: Same as usual.
Have you started to show yet: Oh yes!
Gender: BOY!! Despite having a dream otherwise, we were reconfirmed at our appointment to scan his brain in an ultrasound on Thursday.

Labor Signs: Nada
Belly Button in or out?: I'm almost an outtie, but not yet. I'm holding on strong to my deep button as long as I can!
Wedding rigns on or off: On, but the doctor checked my fingers and gave me a strong warning not to wait much longer. :( Made me cry that night! I'm going to have to get a fake that looks just like these!
General Mood: Happy. Laughing with friends is sometimes the best medicine to whatever else is going on in the world or in my head. Playing board games with friends and laughing to the point of tears was amazing for my mood.
Best advice this week: Got some neat ideas for the nursery from friends.
Worst advice this week: One woman asked me if I wished this process would hurry up. NO! It's going to fast already. True there are some days I don't want to be pregnant...but it's almost like he knows what I'm thinking because he'll kick me...HARD...and then I don't care anymore and want to savor every moment.
Exercise: Walking almost everyday.
Looking forward to: More visitors from Ohio coming next week. Figuring out the date for an Ohio get-together/shower. (Hopefully) Crossing things off our to-do list for the baby.
