Twenty-Two Weeks

A little late with my 22 week update -- did you expect me to be on time with this one?! I broke my severe dependency on technology that got me through last year over the weekend. This may leave me difficult to contact via cell phone because I've been doing crazy things like turning it off and leaving it at the house during outings. I love it. Michael is back to work, for a bit, to attend those fun post-deployment classes.

I feel like my belly is growing really fast now.

Michael convinced me that I should probably just buy some maternity jeans. So, I did, and they're pretty comfortable. Pretty much like wearing sweat pants. It was getting annoying trying hold up my old jeans with a hair elastic. Especially now that my t-shirts appear to be getting shorter and occasionally would show the world my half-zipped unbuttoned jeans.

I feel the baby kick a lot. All over my belly. Michael gets to feel our little one, too, now that he is home. I'm glad to finally share. :)

 

Michael also gets to photograph my growing belly now. Which is a lot easier than setting up the camera on a timer, and the commentary is fun, of course: "That mushroom on your shirt makes your belly look huge."  Thanks babe.

No, I haven't had my ultrasound yet. Yes, I will soon. Very soon. I might update afterwards.

The baby is now the size of a papaya and can hear sounds. :)
