Week 21/22


So this is either my 21st or 22nd week, I'm going to nail down a positive due date next week at my Dr's opt. I'm still feeling good, my left hip is giving me a little trouble but if it wasn't for that or the nudges from the baby it would be easy to forget I was even pregnant. I'm still somewhere in the 3-5 pound weight gain, it tends to depend on when I weigh myself. I have almost completely switched over to maternity clothes now, no shirts but dang the jeans are comfy :) It's weird I seem to start out the day not looking pregnant at all and by the end of the day HOLY COW!! This pic was taken late in the day...blah!!

It feels like there is so much time to get things around, but I know I need to start thinking about some of it in the near future!! I had that first twitch of fear about giving birth the other day, like it hit me all of a sudden how this was going to end, it's hard to think about a wonderful day of pain in your near future!! I'm going to try my best to do this one completely drug free also, first of all because it's a amazing experience when you get through it, and second of all I know I will probably be at the hospital alone and I don't want to be all drugged up!! Let me clarify that, Tim will be with me during the delivery, but I'm almost 100% sure he will need to go home and be with the kids in the afternoon.

  1. Ok...you know I love you, but you do not look even a little bit pregnant, let alone 22 weeks with baby number 5! Most people that have kids look like that on a normal day.

    I miss you...I'm still hopeful you will come visit for a few days when you are in MI. We can even come to Jackson if needed. Take care, and again miss you more than you know!
