22 weeks (and a half)

i've been kind of mia lately and not really for any good reason other than lack of blogging material.

tuesday was 22 weeks. since it's almost friday i'm counting a half too. i can't believe we're on the downhill. 18 weeks to go. yikes.

things are going really well still. i still feel great. so far i've only gained 5 pounds and right on track for my goal weight (don't worry, doctor recommended). baby k is moving quite a bit lately. i think i felt her move a while ago, but i wasn't sure for a while. my only complaint so far is the sharp abdominal "growing pains" or so they're called. they always seem to be at night and i can barely move to get myself in bed.

also, we might have a name for this little girl. maybe. we haven't decided for sure, so i'm not quite ready to spill it yet.

we had another ultrasound tuesday to check her heart and everything looks great. they did a 4d picture for me, but the little punk had her arms in front of her face. at first, she had her arms AND legs in front of her face and they couldn't see her heart well enough. i had to try rolling onto both sides to get her to move. she is stubborn already. the doctor agreed. he also agreed that she was a girl because of her little attitude...i won't and you can't make me.

isn't this cute?

i realize it's a little creepy too, but cute. her arms are so tiny. she weighs about a pound right now. i just wish we could have seen her face.

and here i am.

there is a little more to see.

last week no one at work could believe i was 21 weeks.

now you can tell there is a little bit of a baby there.
