belly...bulge...bump...22 Weeks

My baby is the size of spaghetti squash!



im growing bigger by the day. My skin sometimes actually hurts from stretching...and its starting to get very itchy...so beware of stretch marks! I read this online today. Pay attention to the last sentence.

Real estate within your belly is getting tight, with growing baby leaving little room for your lungs to...well...breathe. Expect the huffing and puffing to start soon. There's not much room for your belly button, either -- it'll pop out any day now.

Noooooo!

overall still feeling great. still fairly active although i do have those nights when im just dead tired and dont want to move. but i find if i actually get up, i am fine. i have yet to start my yoga classes, but i should do it soon. I'm still eating up a storm.... my total weight gain has been....16.6 lbs.

My baby was about 13 oz at my last appointment. Although doctors cannot be completely accurate about this, the websites say my baby should be about 10.5 oz now so the baby is just a bit big.

im a little over the halfway mark so lets look back at the progress.

my belly at 6 weeks.

6 weeks

11 weeks...you can see there is no real bump...just one big bulge from boob to belly. this was my "ugly stage"

14 weeks

at 16 weeks, my bump finally defined. i started to hang lower and there was actually space between bottom of my boob and top of my belly.
16 weeks

some foods ive been enjoying:

making salsa. its just so easy and takes about 15 pulses to complete!




of course i make nachos...with lots of cheese!


I also tried this Shrimp Primavera from TJs. Of course it ain't no restaurant primavera, one of my faves, but it did the trick for a quick dinner.



just heat up shrimp and veggies (already comes with sauce)


add noodles
