How far along? 22 weeks
Weight Gain? We will find out at my doctor’s appointment in a week!
Size of baby? Baby girl is now that size of corn on the AND apparently has a layer of fine hair just like corn silk! Crossing my fingers she is born with a full head of hair like Kendal :) But we will still adore her even if she is a baldy like I was haha
Maternity Clothes? Most jeans still fit BUT I did start wearing some of maternity clothes this week and I must say… those pants are sure comfy! I might as well make the transition over to straight maternity but honestly I find myself testing the limits with all my clothes every morning just cause I want to see how long I can make even my tightest jeans last. Haha not sure why (yes I do. PRIDE.) because I am sure I would be much more comfortable if I just let myself be.
Pregnancy Symptoms? Super dry skin, EVERYWHERE. Even my eyelids are dry… what? Baby is sucking all the moisture out of my skin. Send help and lotion! Oh and not to mention I had my most exhausting week to date. I seriously fell fast asleep before 6 every night. I can’t describe how tired I felt but let me just paint you this picture… on Tuesday morning I woke up and started crying because I felt too tired to go to work. ONLY TUESDAY YOU GUYS. And on Monday morning I texted my manager that I would need to come in late because I wasn’t feeling well and that was AFTER I had gone to bed at 9 pm. So yeah, I slept almost 12 hours straight Monday and then still cried over my exhaustion Tuesday morning. PREGNANCY WILL TURN YOU INTO A ZOMBIE FOR REAL.
Sleep? Sleep was fine this week besides the fact that I could never get enough!
Cravings? All I wanted this week was a classic Thanksgiving dinner, especially the stuffing! However, I never got it :( I was going to make a package of stuffing I had bought at Sam’s but I came to realize that the mix was actually not a mix and I was supposed to buy celery, onion, chicken broth, ect… and I was too tired to go back to the store. Sad day. I even tried looking up any restaurants in town that sold Thanksgiving dinner as an entree but the picture of the meal for each restaurant looked like lunch meat turkey and it just turned me right off. Shucks! Luckily Thanksgiving is only a month away and I can treat myself to a whole delicious feast then :)))) ← that’s my smiley face with lots of double chins lolol
Anything making you queasy? Nope but it seems like anything I eat in the evening gives me acid reflux.
Baby movement? YES :) The little flutters and twirls are getting much more consistent but they are still very little. Sometimes I think I can see my stomach moving but I am pretty sure it’s just my own heartbeat pulsing through my abdomen hahah. But I do a darn good job convincing myself otherwise!
Best moment this week? Starting to look more pregnant than chubby! Haha it was funny because the other day at work some people who didn’t know I was pregnant found out and one girl was like, “I was totally thinking you might be the other day but I was too scared to say anything!” Hahah welp I am glad she knows so she doesn’t just think I have a beer gut!
Weird pregnancy moment? My emotional breakdown over exhaustion was pretty weird. Hahah I was just in the middle of getting ready to leave and I was talking to Kendal about normal stuff and then all of a sudden I started crying about how I was feeling and I couldn’t stop. Ay-carumba, pull yoself together Claire! Haha later in the day Kendal texted me and said it was really cute. Oh boy. That one is a keeper I tell you! He is the nicest and sweetest and best and never ever questions me when I ask for a foot rub. This little girl and I are the luckiest!
What I’m looking forward to? I am looking forward to DEFINITELY seeing baby move from the outside because videos of that crack me up and make my heart swell! Also I’m just so excited for when Kendal can see/ feel her moving. It’s the best part of pregnancy for me and I want us to be able to enjoy it together!
