22-23 weeks!



Sorry I skipped the last few weeks 😥. We have had a lot going on in our lives. I'll try to stay more consistent moving forward!    

Have you started to show yet? Yes! I have had some strangers ask me when I'm due, which I think is always pretty brave 😅
Total weight gain/loss: 12lbs at my appointment on 5/2. Seems like a lot, but still much better than with Sean. My goal is less than 30lbs, so we will see how I do. 
Food cravings: Cheese. I can't get enough. My favorite right now is really aged gouda. You know, the ones that are almost 'crunchy'? Mmmmm. 😋
Anything making you queasy or sick: No, but I have been getting heartburn like crazy. I can't figure out what is causing it. I get it the worst when I'm hungry.
Miss Anything? Going an hour without peeing! It's constant.  Going on a bunch of errands means knowing where the restroom is at all times! 
Mood: Good, calm. Having a 3 year old definitely makes things a little more stressful, but I'm feeling pretty great.
Sleep: I've been experiencing a little bit of insomnia. I fall asleep on the couch at 9, go to bed at 10 and can't fall back to sleep until midnight. It's so frustrating! Or, if I wake up in the middle of the night for some reason, it takes me quite a while to get back to sleep. 
Best moment this week: Not baby related, but we got our summer veggies planted! I enjoy gardening so much. 
Annoyances: I'm having restless legs again 😒. I experienced this with Sean, but I don't remember it being until much later in the pregnancy. 
Maternity clothes? Definitely. With the nice weather that is beginning to start, I've been able to wear my cute spring/summer maternity clothes. 
Gender Predictions: The ultrasound confirmed - it's a BOY! We are so excited for Sean to have a baby brother. 
Looking forward to: We are going down to Napa to visit next week. We have tickets for the Giants game on Saturday, and Sean will stay home with Emily and Patrick. It will be so great to see everyone and spend some time with family 💗.
