Tim, my mom and I just got back from a weekend at the in-law's house. We had a very nice weekend just relaxing, talking, and playing cards. This will probably be the last trip since I'm 6 months along now. With it being my first pregnancy and it not being that great, I worry about traveling away from my doctors after 7 months.
At my last appointment, the doctor measured my stomach (uterus) and said it was right on time. Sometimes I feel like I'm not big enough but other days I feel huge. It's funny.
The other day I saw my stomach actually move for the first time and yesterday Tim finally caught little Cooper moving with his hand. Before it seemed every time Tim touched my stomach, he would stop moving. Silly boy.
The baby shower is set for Feb. 16! I can't believe it. I'll be 32 1/2 weeks along then. And it's right before Tim & I's 3rd wedding anniversary :)
It's a few days late, but here's a 24 week update:
Cravings: It varies, but I still love Pepsi.
Baby size: About 12 inches long and a little over a pound!
Happy Things: seeing my belly move & Tim feeling him
Sad things/Worries: not too much right now
Weight Gain: 14 lbs.
Aches and Pains: Headaches, tired
Mood: moody
Movement: he's all over the place, it's getting stronger
Maternity clothes? yep
Sleep: Having trouble falling asleep, hips hurting some

22 weeks, on the other side
I don't remember if I wrote about feeling down or not but it seems to be getting a little better. I had a good cry the other night and honestly, I think that helped. I've been having trouble getting to sleep though. I'm uncomfortable, my mind races....So instead of laying there tossing and turning tonight I'm just staying up. Luckily, I'm working evenings now so I don't have to get up early.
Baby boy is moving more and more every day. And I feel like I've grown a lot in the past couple of weeks.
We're getting our Christmas tree this weekend! I'm so excited. It will be here before we know it and it will be 2013. WOW. So far this pregnancy has flown. I have a feeling that after the holidays, it will all slow down. Dun, Dun, Dun....haha.
Here's my 22 week update:
Cravings: Still hooked on orange juice and pickles and Pepsi although I don't drink that often.
Baby size: About 11 inches long, and 15 oz. (average) Almost a pound!
Happy Things: more & more movement
Sad things/Worries: just being down
Weight Gain: 12 lbs.
Aches and Pains: Headaches, starting to swell, had to take off my wedding rings
Mood: grouchy, down
Movement: more during the day now
Maternity clothes? yep
Sleep: This week has been rough for falling asleep

That really grinds my gears...part 1
Since becoming pregnant, my hormones have made me more open and less the one who bites her tongue. So here are some things that really BUG me! Don't be hurt.
1. Hashtags on facebook. If they linked to subjects like on twitter, I would be totally okay with it. THEY DON'T! It's just a bunch of words running together with a pound sign in front of it. Yeah. Go tweet.
2. Unsolicited advice. Becoming pregnant brings this on even worse than normal. If I want your advice, I'll ask. Just because this is my first child, doesn't mean I'm ignorant. Some things I know nothing about and I do ask people.
3. Bad grammar. This has always been a pet peeve of mine. I realize everyone isn't great at English, but basic spelling and grammar isn't that difficult. I don't expect you to be a scholar or a writer. Take five minutes and learn the difference between your and you're.
Oddly, that is all I can think of right now. Expect more later.
