Week 22: Come and Gone....

~~~~~~~~~WEEK 22~~~~~~~~~

How far along: Week 22!!!!! (10.22.12-10.29.12)

Total weight gain/loss: Really Really Really Really .....You want me to get on a scale when I don't have too? Muahahaha....NO WAY!!!! My next Dr appointment is in two weeks I guess we will find out then :)

Can you be mad at me? If you have not ever been prego then someday you will get it and if you have been then you do get it :)


Names: Nope...I got nothing! :/

Regular clothes or Maternity: Half and half but I do love my new maternity jeans from H&M :)

Stretch marks: No and hopefully we can avoid them. I use Vitamin E oil on my skin after I shower a few times a week to keep my skin moisturized.

Sleep: Sleeping great right now! Excited to be over having the nightmares every night and not looking forward to the having to get up and pee all night during the third trimester so right now I am enjoying all my zzzz......!

Fitness:  Feeling good but not great. I am starting to slow down a bit especially with running. I am looking into a maternity running support band for my belly. I have heard mixed reviews but I think I would really love it. :) My whole body feels great but I feel weird about my belly bouncing all around when I go jogging. I know people say they run comfortably until the day they go into labor BUT well I doubt that's me. I love running and I love being prego but something inside me just feels weird about the belly going everywhere while I am running. But, hey this is just me and just my blog so I am all about other people doing whats best for them or whatever they feel good about while  they are pregnant. 

I have still been loving yoga, weights, and pilates a lot. I actually think my posture is improving and helping me not have back pain during pregnancy.

Sunday I ran a relay with my girls Alexis and Laura. I ran the first leg which was 3.7miles. It felt good to get out early and run along the American River Trail.

Miss Anything: I could go for a glass of red wine :0) If I am being honest :)

Baby Movement: All the time .... It is so great and I feel so blessed to be able to have a happy, healthy, baby boy growing inside my belly!

Anything making you queasy or sick: Not this week. Which is good for me because I have been starving this week!

Have you started to show yet: Yes! EEEEE.... finally!!!!! Love my little bump!!!!!

Baby Boy or Baby Girl Prediction: Baby Boy. We had a scare last week that landed us in triage at the hospital. Everything was fine but we got a few extra glances at our baby boy and the nurses all said "he isn't shy" Sooooo.... I am not all that worried about making a blue baby room and having to change it up at the last minute. :)

Labor Signs: No

Most excited about after baby: Buying little suits for my little man. :) Can't wait. I love little boy clothes!

Belly Button in or out? In  but I took out my belly ring this week since my belly is getting rounder and my bellybutton is getting flatter.....

Finding out the sex of baby: Yes! We found out!!!! Love that we are having a little boy!!!!

Wedding rings on or off? On but I do notice that I am already starting to get swollen at the end of a long day or a long workout.... :( Trying to drink as much water as I can but I think I am just one of the really lucky ones who swells up during pregnancy. Lucky me. :(

More Kids: No more for us :) Two will be just enough to keep us busy yet still sane :)

Mood: Feeling really emotional this pregnancy. I feel like I am on some kind of roller coaster going from happy to crazy in like less then a minute. It's so different from my first. I know everyone says every pregnancy is so different but I didn't expect them to be SO different.

Loving being pregnant: Yes, especially now that I can feel the little baby move all the time! It really is so amazing!
