22w1d


How far along: 22w1d

Total weight gain: 13 pounds!

Size and growth of the baby: 1 lb. & 11 inches long from head to heel [about the length of a spaghetti squash]
From my weekly email: Your baby is starting to look like a miniature newborn. The lips, eyelids, and eyebrows are becoming more distinct, and [s]he's even developing tiny tooth buds beneath the gums. The eyes have formed, but irises (the colored part of the eye) still lack pigment. If you could see inside your womb, you'd be able to spot the fine hair that covers the baby's body and the deep wrinkles on the skin, which [s]he'll sport until adding a padding of fat to fill them in. Inside his/her belly, the pancreas — essential for the production of some important hormones — is developing steadily.

Sex: your guess is as good as mine! ;)

Maternity clothes: mostly

Sleep: okay

Best moment(s) of the week: the baby is 1 pound!!  Hearing the heartbeat again & shopping for maternity clothes and lots of other prebaby essentials! :)


Movement: I think I'm starting to feel a little! :)

Food cravings/aversions: chocolate & ice cream!

Morning sickness: gone

Symptoms: awful acid/heartburn

Belly button in or out: in

What I miss: not much!

What I'm looking forward to: confirming the movement
