Now that I am almost 22 weeks I thought I better do a pregnancy update.

Total weight gain: 15 lbs.
Maternity clothes: Pants yes, shirts most of the time
Sleep:pretty good despite frequent bathroom breaks
Best moment this week: Seeing a healthy, growing, active baby on the ultrasound
Movement: Yes, especially when I lay down at night or I will feel a few strong jabs with Nora is climbing on my lapFood cravings: my appetite is back, but no specific cravings
What I'm missing: sleeping through the night
What I'm looking forward to: Thanksgiving with family
At the 20 week appointment we started with the anatomy ultrasound. Everything checked out just fine and we are so thankful for a healthy, active growing baby. They estimated the baby's weight was 10 oz. The heart beat was 156 bpm. The baby was moving around quite a bit making it difficult for the ultrasound tech to get all of her measurements so it was a long scan, but eventually she finished. We asked her to keep the gender a secret and we turned our heads when she reached that part of the scan. I can confirm we know the gender, but I'll be back in another post with that information. After the ultrasound we went back for my monthly appointment. It took all of 5 minutes to get my blood pressure, confirm the baby was healthy and schedule my next appointment.
Wahoo - 20 weeks already? 22 already?! Wowza it's going fast!
