Well, yesterday we celebrated our 22 week milestone! Can you believe this?! I remember thinking week 12 would never get here and then week 16 and now we are at week 22!!! I think it puts into perspective just how quickly this excitement is approaching us! Between getting the yard and stuff around the house done, I think we will blink and the big day will be here!
I've been feeling good. Have had more energy than I have in a long time and eating is getting better! It's nice to be feeling better!!
We've started getting the nursery together and we now have our dresser/changing station, armoire, crib, bedding, a painter on the way, and some clothing! Oh, and a changing pad! It's getting exciting having all this baby stuff floating around!! I think once the room is painted and we can start to put it all together, it will really take on a life of its own! Thanks to mom and dad for all the help throughout this process!
Today I have a massage booked at Sweet Mama and I've been looking forward to this! My body has been craving a rub down, especially my back and feet! Sweet Mama specializes in services for expecting mamas and they are the nicest little spa!
Anyways...here is a glimpse into week 22...
How your baby's growing:
At 11 inches and almost 1 pound, your baby is starting to look like a miniature newborn. His lips, eyelids, and eyebrows are becoming more distinct, and he's even developing tiny tooth buds beneath his gums. His eyes have formed, but his irises (the colored part of the eye) still lack pigment. If you could see inside your womb, you'd be able to spot the fine hair (lanugo) that covers his body and the deep wrinkles on his skin, which he'll sport until he adds a padding of fat to fill them in. Inside his belly, his pancreas — essential for the production of some important hormones — is developing steadily.
Hope you all have a great day!
