Home Sweet Holmes: 22 weeks!

Jackson weighs at least a pound! I'm guessing more..

How far along? 22 weeks

Total weight gain:

12 pounds

Maternity clothes?

Mix of both.

Stretch marks?

Nope

Sleep:

For the most part great! My hips and back get sore from sleeping on my side.

Best moment this week:

Getting the baby furniture! I have to peek in there everyday just to see it :)

Miss Anything?

Not really.

Movement:

Bigger movements but nothing consistent yet.

Food cravings:

My somewhat healthy cravings have turned on me. Now I want SWEETS. I’ve dreaming about cinnamon rolls and brown sugar poptarts. I seriously went down the grocery aisles 2x’s staring at them. I somehow talked myself out of it but I’m still thinking about them..

Anything making you queasy or sick:

Chicken. Gross

Gender:

BOY!

Labor Signs:

No thank goodness and no Braxton Hicks either. Whew. We did sign up for our childbirth classes. Eks! They aren’t until July but it’s quickly approaching.

Symptoms:

Rib pain! Still! Back pain. Hip pain in the back and front. I had heartburn for the first time this week which is really surprising because prepregnancy I got heartburn all the time!

Belly Button in or out?

Holding on for dear life..

Wedding rings on or off?

Have you started to show yet?

Uh YES! I get more and more comments everyday. It’s funny I know I look big but I don’t feel big yet. I guess that’s good!

Happy or Moody most of the time:

HAPPY!!! :))) Emotional not that I wasn’t before.. Stella fell and hurt her foot this week and I was VERY upset. I have no idea what I’m going to do when Jackson gets hurt.

Looking forward to:

Jamie feeling the baby kick!

Workout:

I lied about giving up on running. I decided I couldn’t go 19+ weeks not running so I would try again.. stubborn. I was shuffling along but I made it probably a mile or so and then I walked. Jackson did better but he still does not like running- he is either on my bladder or pushing his whole body out making running so uncomfortable. My mom suggested I talk to him before I run :)

I also started the strength and cardio section of my DVD. Um I’m out of shape. I can’t remember the last time I did a push up.. before the wedding? Anyways I didn’t make it all the way through and I was sore. LOL

My new goal is to do yoga once a week because it is suppose to help with labor. I just would much rather be outside! It needs to rain once a week.

Furry Babies:

Bad kitties!! Oscar scratched the baby’s crib- trying to climb up it. GRR And Stella is just being plain bad. She has always loved being with just me and then Jamie came along. She did adjust to him but then we got Oscar. Since Oscar we have had trouble with her using the bathroom outside the box- on and off. Everytime we think we have it fixed she’s back at it! And now she’s out of control. She hates change and sharing. I swear the night Jamie tried to sleep in the bed for the first time (post surgery) she sent us a message- she went to the bathroom right outside the bedroom door- right where you walk. The more baby stuff we get the worse she is. :( I have had her for 4 years a few months longer than I have known Jamie. And I would like to keep her forever so she needs to get her stuff together. My parents may be getting a new furry friend :( I can't even think about it.

And we went shopping at Buy Buy Baby...
