22 weeks!


Not my normal belly picture, but I thought I would do a whole body shot this time so you get the full effect.

Updates-


-I can't bend over that much anymore, and when I do, it's an uncomfortable feeling. I have to do more of a squat when possible. There is one pair of shoes that I cannot put on by myself, so Straton has to help me out with that.


- I read that about this time the baby won't have a lot of room to move around like he used to, and I can tell. He doesn't move as much as he used to, and when he does it's much, much stronger and a little more uncomfortable. Especially when he is really low. Then I don't like that feeling so much....


- Don't get me wrong though, this little guy still moves like crazy. But it's more so when I lay down. Which everyone I tell that to has to remind me that once he's here, that won't change much. Thank you. I get it.


- At least no one has been grabbing at and feeling my belly, which I heard can be super annoying. I'm sure it will happen a little later on, but to be honest, I don't think I would mind much. Unless I don't know you. In that case, don't put your grubs on me, please.


- I don't know how it's possible to sleep only on your side for months. I can't sleep whatsoever. And I wake up multiple times in the night because I have such a bad burning/throbbing sensation in my hips. Pillows don't seem to help much.


- To end on a happier note, we are starting to get things done for the baby room! When I say that, I mean we have sort of made decisions on what we're going to be doing in there. As soon as Straton has time, we're going to pick out paint and fabric together. I can't wait to get everything out of the guest bedroom and move all of his stuff in!

You look so cute!
I understand the sleeping situation. See I loved laying on my belly and to only be limited to a few positions was hard. Not, to say that I was up 4-6 times a night using the bathroom. You would think that you could get sleep before the baby. haha!
I can't wait to see pictures of the babies room!

Can't wait for some of your ideas on names! Just don't consult with your Mom! Crib and stroller look great - good choice.

This is just a reminder of when you have the baby how many times you wake up in the middle of the night. That doesn't go away even when they are 19 yrs old!!!!! Say good-bye to sleep!!! LOL. You look great Lauren!
