22 Weeks

22 Weeks with my little helper, "cheese!"

HOW FAR ALONG?: 22 weeks! My belly must have really popped out last weekend because suddenly everyone at work knows I'm pregnant.  Not that I was ever hiding it, but I come into contact with a lot of people each day and most didn't seem to know.  They noticed when they got a side view! haha

TOTAL WEIGHT GAIN?:  Is is wrong that I don't think I'll step on a scale for 4 weeks? I'll get on it at my next doctors visit ;)  

MATERNITY CLOTHES: Pretty much always.

SLEEP?: Feeling pretty good still and still able to sleep well.  It's not difficult to roll from side to side yet, so that's nice! I'm actually looking forward to day light savings because I think that means Veda's new wake up time of 6:40 will be 7:40 - here's to hoping anyway!  

BEST MOMENT/S THIS WEEK?: I actually got to see B for about three hours, so that was nice! He's in Vegas now, until Monday and then he was supposed to go to New Mexico next weekend.  He actually cancelled that gig because they were going to drive (15 hours one way) and the money wasn't great.  It would have been like going to Dubai again, very exhausting.  And he knows I need a little rest!    

WORST MOMENT THIS WEEK?:  I can't think of any off hand.  

MISS ANYTHING?:  Oh my gosh, wine! I totally tortured myself last night! My favorite winery from Los Osos, Sarloos & Sons, was here in LA for a few tastings.  I had my brother-in-law come out with me to do the tasting, I still bought one of each bottle for later! 

MOVEMENT?: He's still moving around like crazy! I'm beginning to wonder if he ever sleeps! According to the bump.com he's supposed to be sleeping 12-14 hours/day in there, but I constantly feel him.  I even feel him at work when I'm busy, which I don't ever remember being able to feel Veda like that!

FOOD CRAVINGS?: Still no cravings.  The desire to eat junk food and candy all the time is subsiding, thank goodness because I'm sure my glucose screen is coming up!

LABOR SIGNS?: No

SYMPTOMS / MOODS?: I'm feeling pretty good again this week.  My lack of energy must have been due to working so many days in a row, having a busy day and then attempting to potty train Veda.  That was exhausting! I had a mental breakdown and decided I couldn't do it alone.  Either Brett will have to help me, or my mom next time she comes out.  I just couldn't sit in the house on my days off.  I was getting frustrated and I don't think Veda is really ready yet.  

BELLY BUTTON IN or OUT?: In. 

WEDDING RINGS OFF or ON?: On.

LOOKING FORWARD TO...?  My husband's return next week!  It'll be nice to have him back!!!
