22 weeks

Despite The Captains best effort not to get me sick, I am in fact sick as a dog. Bleh! I stayed home from work yesterday because I felt horrible and I knew the baby and I would need all the rest we could get in order to beat this thing. I am pretty sure it is just a chest cold and I am feeling much better today, thankfully. All the resting did some good because I felt some kicks yesterday on my hand! I felt them once before about a week but this time I am sure it was him kicking me. That was the most incredible feeling. I would laugh and say "do it again" and he would kick me again. I so wish The Captain had been home to feel it too. He is already growing up way too fast. 

He is our little Papaya this week. I don't know where they come up with these fruit and vegetable sizes but they are amusing. I am noticing more and more his sleep pattern lately. He is awake from 3:00 am - 4:00 am every morning then again from 8-9am. Snoozes until around 3:00 or 4:00 in the afternoon and then up again from 7:00 - 9:00 at night. The cycles repeats the next day. 

Best Moment of the week: Feeling him kick my hand by far.

Epiphany of the week: Little sleep makes for one cranky Momma.

Entertaining question/comment of the week: I don't think I have one this week.

Obsessions: Trying to find big enough warm clothes for my trip to D.C. next weekend, to see my sister. This will be our Babymoon too.

What I am most looking forward to this week: A pedicure tonight. Divine.

What I miss the most: Being able to stand up and put on pants. I must sit now or fear toppling over.

Symptoms: oh, the boob pain! My boobs have been sore before but this is just down right painful. I think they are starting to make colostrum.

Milestones: Baby's settling into sleep cycles, snoozing about 12 to 14 hours a day. It shouldn't be hard to figure out when -- just pay attention to those kicks as they start and stop. *Courtesy of TheBump.com
