Yes, I am still alive (I'm sure you've all be wondering)!! There is really no excuse for my lack of posting other than the obvious baking a baby and all! I'm back with a preggo update for all the inquiring minds...
How Far Along: I'm 22 weeks along (about 5 months)
Due Date: November 2nd, 2011
Size of Baby: Baby Kizziah is about the length of a spaghetti squash. Once again, no idea what the heck a spaghetti squash is, let alone what one looks like. So....google it!! He weights about 1 pound now, and is basically fully developed. Think of him as a miniature newborn at this point.
Maternity Clothes: officially wearing the maternity clothing now! I can still actually button the non-basketball belly clothing, but it sorta cuts the bump in half resulting in half beer gut on the bottom and half roll over the top. NOT. CUTE! So, I'm into the full panel coverage these days. I still have plenty of summer dresses that work for this Florida heat, too.
Gender: It's a boy!!
Movement: He's kicking like crazy!! Especially at night. To me it sorta feels like I'm losing my stomach every time, so it's not always super pleasant while trying to snooze, but nevertheless I am super grateful to have the constant assurance that he is alive and kicking. he he :)
Sleep: Sleep is a little bit sporadic these days. I manage to sleep in about 4 hour shifts before having to potty or adjust positions. And officially I have been given the clear to continue to sleep on my belly until it is uncomfortable for me (despite my fears of smooshing the little one into a pancake). Yay!
What I miss: normally functioning body temperature. I CAN'T. GET. COOL.
Cravings: Milk. Totally uncharacteristic for me. Like really strange.
Symptoms: Feeling pretty good these days other than a little bit of pelvic pain because the little guy is sitting so low right now. Headaches are still very present but still respond to Tylenol (miracle preggo drug). The fatigue seems to have reappeared?!? :( I think it may be a result of the sleeping issues though, and not so much the babe.
Best moment: Finding out we were having a boy! The look on my husband's face, and the following display of "manliness" was priceless. Can we say, "Testosterone overload!" Not sure what I am getting myself into...
