How Far Along: 22 weeks and 4 days
Weekly Fruit Comparison: A papaya (I'm now far enough along where the fruit comparisons are done monthly so I only have 4 more fruits to go!)
The Good: I forgot to mention that we were going to Jamaica for our babymoon last week so that's why I didn't post a Week 21 update. We had such a wonderful and relaxing time! It was so nice to not have to worry about home renovations for a change. Of course, being in Jamaica without drinking Red Stripe or rum punch was a bit different than what I'm used to, but it was just so awesome to get away and spend some quality time with Jon.
I love that man so much and I know I couldn't have picked a better man for a husband and the father of my kid. I already see how great he is with Lola (and how wrapped around her little paw he is!) and can hardly imagine how he'll be with our little girl. I'll hopefully get around to posting babymoon pictures soon!
The Bad: I had my first case of swollen feet right before we left for vacation. It was really hot and humid here in Maryland and I was in heels all day and all of that combined just wasn't good for my tootsies. Luckily, it hasn't happened since and I really hope to avoid it if I can.
The Weird: Baby girl is moving around so much now and sometimes it feels like she is poking and kicking right into my lady bits. Or maybe it's her head? She was head down at my last appointment so that must be it!
Best Pregnancy Moment: Hearing people say "you are just the cutest pregnant woman ever!" never gets old. I used to hate the "cute" word, but at this point, I'll take what I can get! Who knows how much longer this belly will be cute and not entirely massive?
The Weekly Belly Bump: When I returned to my office after our babymoon, everyone agreed I had totally popped. It's kind of hard to tell from this photo, but I think my mom summed it up best when she said, "Your belly sticks out farther than your boobs now!" (Only moms can get away with saying that! Especially moms who have bought you the majority of your maternity wardrobe!)
