How far along? 22 Weeks
Total weight gain/loss: 17 pounds (I think)
Maternity clothes? Lots of maternity shirts with the stretchy stuff on the side (which I orginally thought I would hate). During the week days, I usually try to wear my uniform with khaki maternity pants and uniform tops (which I have sized up) - it's just easier than trying to figure out something to wear. I'm still wearing some of my pre pregnancy sweaters (they are just significantly snugger. I need to get some longer tank tops so my belly is not hanging out!
Stretch marks? Just on the tops of my thighs so far
Sleep: Sleeping pretty good! We did end up getting a humidifier. So my nightly ritual has become turning on the humidifier and then tucking mysefl and the body pillow into bed. Some nights I sleep all night and others I might get up just once.
Best moment this week: Hanging out with Grandpa Jim and Grandma Sugar (Rob's dad and his wife). We also set up all the nursery stuff...including crib, changing table, and glider. We went back and forth on whether to get the glider, but I'm really happy with it and aniticpate spending lots of time nursing, reading books, and generally hanging out in it.
Miss Anything? It sounds weird - but sometimes I just wish I could order whatever I want off a restaurant menu. We went out to eat a lot this past week and everytime I have to stop and think - can I have that? No sushi (not that I would eat it anyway), no lunchmeat, no alcochol, no runny eggs (my favorite) etc.
Movement: Lots of kicking and swoshing around in there!
Food cravings: sweets of all sorts... sour patch kids, ice cream, cookies, brownies, chocolates. Though all I really eat is sugar free popsicles (except last night at the movies when I did give in and get Sour Patch Kids).
Anything making you queasy or sick: Nope!
Have you started to show yet: see picture above -- I often find myself comparing my body to other pregnant ladies and hoping I look just right :)
Gender: Boy
Labor Signs: No
Belly Button in or out? In... but again, real shallow in there.
Wedding rings on or off? My wedding ring in on. My engagement ring is off. It was snug to begin with and then I just had visions of someone having to cut it off at the hospital because it was getting SOOOOO tight. When I'm outside, my fingers tend to be really cold and not swollen, so I slipped my engagement ring off, just to keep it safe. Makes me a little sad though. And paranoid it won't ever fit again!
Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy, but a little anxious. It just seems like the to do list is never ending...contact a pediatrician, contact the child care provider we'll be using, switch cell phone plans, order bedding etc. And, as we move toward decorating the nursery, I've put a lot of pressure on myself to create the cutest space you've every seen.

Looking forward to: the NEW YEAR! In 2013 we'll actually get to meet our baby! My mind often drifts and daydreams about our life this time next year -- with a little one in tow. I know things will be different and possibly a little hectic for awhile so I'm trying to just relax and enjoy the time between.
