22 Weeks...and my baby girl's birthday!

MY BABY IS ONE!!!

The birthday was perfect in every way. I cannot believe I am now the parent of a TODDLER. Guys, what is happening here?! I wish I had more words to explain the way I feel about my baby girl growing up, but I don't. It's just...surreal. And wonderful. And crazy. And a miracle!

And now I am in a post party-daze. The chili bar/chip and dip station/salad/birthday cake operation went off without a hitch, presents were opened, the house is clean (sorta), annnnnd I am still exhausted. BUT! No time to rest when my leading lady is always on the move!

Crazy, crazy, crazy, but fun. And Sunny, you are lots of fun, too! This past week you have started a party in my belly, and I am loving every second of it. Still, I kinda feel like doing THIS most of the time...

...but, I can't. So on we march. Bump!

A glamour shot, if I've ever seen one.

How far along?  22 weeks, and the size of an ear of corn! YAYAYA!

Clothing? Maternity on the bottom, and about half pre-preg/half-maternity on top. Pushing it, though.

Sleep? I'm not sure if I'll ever sleep through the night again, but that's okay.

Best moment of this week? Great baby kicks that I am LOVING.

Worst moment of this week? Downton Abbey was very dramatic last night. Anyone?!

Miss anything? Would've loved a glass of wine at Ei's party, but oh well!

Movement? YES. A big pick-up in kicks, and I am loving it. Seeing much of it from the outside now, and a few people have been able to feel a few hard ones. Thank you, Sunny!!! I LOVE IT, keep it comin'!

Symptoms? More than anything, wicked sciatic pain in my hip and back. Sometimes it hits me and I can't walk for a few minutes. I could do without that, to be honest! Also just very tired, and STARVING!

Food cravings? This week, ice cream and birthday cake. MMMMMMM.

Gender? I'm still gonna say girl.

Labor Signs? No siree.

Belly button in or out? Outie.

Wedding rings on or off? On, for now?

Mood? So tired, so happy.

Milestones? Only TWO WEEKS from viability, YAY!

Looking forward to? My 24 week appointment...any time I can see or hear you, sunny, is the best day.

Sorry, I am running on fumes so that's all I've got. This is what my brain looks like, and there's not much else going on...

Have a great week, all!
