22 Weeks and Growing Belly Pics

To mark week 22 in the books, I thought I'd record a few notes and share a few pictures...

How far along? 22 Weeks


Babies' size? About 1 ft long and 1 lb each!


Weight Gain? Ummm, yes. (25 lbs! And I can only blame about 2 on the babies. But it's good as my doc says 24 lbs by 24 weeks is the goal...I think I made it!)


Maternity clothes? Yes, since about 8 weeks. I am lovin' the stretchy pants!


Stretch marks? Not yet, but they are definitely coming.


Belly button in or out? 50/50...it's half popped!


Sleep? Slept like a baby in the first trimester, now not so much. Potty trips and the nightly aches and pains keep me up every couple of hours.


Foods I am loving? Apple Juice :)


Foods I am hating? Chicken :( But starting to come around to it again.


Best moment this week? Starting to get asked in public "How far along?" or "When are you due?" I love the reaction when I tell them "Not 'til December!" I get a lot of "Oh my!" looks. :)


Movement? Yes! They are definitely boppin' around in there! Started feeling little flutters about 15-16 weeks. They are getting stronger every day...Scott can now feel the little guys movin' as well. I think this is the best part of pregnancy so far!


Symptoms? Really can't complain too much. Aside from the normal growing pains associated with pregnancy, I feel I've been pretty fortunate and am feeling relatively good!


Emotions? Loving every minute and definitely falling in love with the little guys! This is an experience I didn't know if I'd ever have, and I am just so thankful for this huge blessing...x2!

And now, for The Belly!
