"That baby will be here before you know it!"

I received my first comment regarding my ever-growing belly from a complete stranger this past week while walking into work. While I'm not sure what kind of timeline she was referring to, I can tell you that I pray the baby does not come any time soon and J&L will be welcoming their little one to this world come March (and hopefully after March 2nd so they do not have to rush around and change their flights). :)

The second trimester is often the most uneventful part of pregnancy. You're far enough along to not worry about whether baby will make it or not and not far enough along to worry about impending labor and delivery. I'm still able to sleep comfortably, get in and out of the car, shave by myself, and paint my toenails. lol

I've been going to the chiropractor which has helped the round ligament and pelvic pain a bit. It still has its moments though. I'm also experiencing heartburn something fierce lately. Other than that though just cruising through the second trimester :)  Less than a month until we enter the 3rd Trimester!!!!

Maybe this lady was on to something, it WILL be here before we know it! Only about 4 months until baby's due date!

Here is this week's shortened breakdown (better late than never right?):


How far along: 22 weeks 3 days

How big is baby: Approximately 11 inches and 1 pound!

Total weight gain: My appt this week showed I actually lost a pound so now my total pregnancy gain is 4.8 lbs.

Movement: Getting stronger every day! This little one is quite the acrobat in there. The kicks are never in the same place lol

Next appt: Ultrasound on November 20 to check on the placenta. My OB does not expect there to be an issue so I'm hoping he's right :)
