22 weeks & counting!

Today is a special day, not only b/c I'm 22 weeks today, but b/c I'm having another sonogram this afternoon to look at little Gavin again! Normally, at my dr's office, I wouldn't have another one for quite some time, but since I have a low placenta & they couldn't get a good pic of my little booger's heart, I get another sonogram today. I'm actually excited b/c I'm hoping for some better pics than last time & we should be able to see his face better. Derek had to leave this morning to travel for work, but my MIL was really wanting to go, so she's meeting me there at 2. Also, I'm positive, we will be able to see much more of the baby since he (and I both) have grown SO MUCH since the last visit!


This visit will be a little different as well, b/c I actually have a ton of questions for my Dr. Usually when I go in for a visit, I'm just so shocked, excited, nervous, etc. that I forget all of my questions. Not this time thanks to my handy Blackberry! Does anyone else forget their questions too?


I was able to finish registering at Target, but have yet to make it to Toys R Us. I've done a few there, but only online thanks to the Christmas crowd. I'm hoping to find a diaper bag & stroller I like b/c Target didn't have any that appealed to me. Any suggestions? With the help of my sister & Kelli (both new mom's) I registered for a bunch of stuff I would need, & also didn't register for things I would absolutely not need. I'm so thankful to have their help. Both of them are planning my baby showers right now too. I'm having my regular one at the end of Feb. & Kelli & Cody are giving us a couple's diaper shower in March. If you know of any fun games for the couple's shower, I'd love to hear it! I just can't believe how quickly it's creeping up! But I'm super excited anyway! Still no pic yet. But it will be worth it when you see it next week b/c there's lots of change going on with this body of mine!

How Far Along: 22 weeks
Total Weight Gained:I finally broke down & weighed myself & WOAH NELLY have I popped. lol. I'll find out exactly today but I'm thinking somewhere around 10 lbs. total. We'll see.

Maternity Clothes:most of the time.

Sleep: Ha!

Best Moment of the Week:I don't even remember the week- I've been going, going, going. Movement: All the time, mostly around my bladder.
Food Craving: Soup & Apples. I don't believe this will be changing.
Food aversions: Chinese
Morning sickness: nope all gone!
Gender: It's a boy! Gavin Lee!

Belly Button: Still in for now.
What I miss: moving around faster & sleeping

What I'm looking forward to:My sonogram today & getting to see this little face inside of me!

Milestones: He is about 11 inches & weighs a pound. Although since I think I'm measuring ahead, this boy probably weighs more:) We'll see!

Diaper bags are so fashionable now! There is this place in downtown Waco that does embroidery/personalizing things & they also sell diaper bags & kids backpacks. I forgot the name of it but I think it's next to a flower shop called Blooming-something? Or def check out ebay! I got one of my favorites from there!
