Baby Entry #2

How far along: 22 weeks.

Total weight gain: 16 pounds.

Maternity clothes: I purchased some pants and capris from Old Navy and a girlfriend of mine is letting me borrow most of her maternity jeans and a couple of tops. I'm currently looking for some maternity dresses, but I haven't found any that I really like yet. 

Stretch marks: Nope, but I have purchased the lotion that was recommended to me by my doctor. Prevention is key and I hope it works! 

Sleep: My sleeping schedule has improved. I still have to wake up once a night to empty my bladder. Another thing I've noticed is that I am getting much hotter much quicker. Poor Kevin, I have to push him to his side whenever he tries to hold me at night. It's only temporary, mi amor! Also, Kevin bought me one of those pregnancy pillows and they are heaven!

Best moment of this week:  This morning, Kevin and I had our monthly OB appointment with our Doctor. The doctor was checking the baby's heartbeat by putting a little bit of pressure right on my belly and baby girl punched my stomach right where the baby monitor was! I love how she's already developing her personality right in the womb. 

Miss anything: Coffee, Mountain Dew, and wine.

Movement: Nothing yet.

Food cravings: Nope, nada. 

Anything making you queasy or sick: Whenever I take out the trash. I instantly get super nauseous.

Have you started to show yet: I am definitely starting to show. Baby girl is growing healthy and strong.

Gender: "I honestly don't know. At first, I was boy 100%, but now I'm starting to think maybe girl." This is what I said on my last post and the vibes I got were right! We're having a baby girl!!!

Labor signs: Nope.

Belly button in or out: In

Wedding rings on or off: On

Happy or moody: My road rage has become worse. My patience for idiots on the road is slim, but other than that, I'm so incredibly happy. I am counting the days where we have our baby girl in our arms. 

Looking forward to: My summer vacation has started and Kevin and I can finally work on the baby's room!

I am loving every moment of my pregnancy with Baby Girl Morris. On the next post, we will be sharing her name! Until then, be safe and spread kindness.

With love,

Ale
